While a rusted, crusted shovel blade makes a...good, I guess...test for blade damage, it's not much use for anything else. If he had struck that shovel blade against any rough targets instead of a thin edge of metal, it would be much more likely to break in pieces than the reclaimed spring steel.

When you're working with cultured marble, your main concern is not breaking it by breathing on it or looking at it the wrong way, so that part wasn't terribly impressive :) Other than that, the thing took serious abuse, nice work.

I have a tip for you for dealing with the mosquitos. I've lived in Michigan my whole life, and the only two things that have worked for me are scented candles (make sure they burn hot and smelly), and bug spray.

Black flies and horseflies are a different matter altogether though- those fuckers don't give a shit about any sort of repellant
The good thing about horseflies is that you can see them coming and they’re a big target. Bad thing is they’re resilient basterds, and can take a (relatively) lot of damage. It’s funny listening to them when they land on a zapper though.

I dont really like the trranslation of "Bauernwehr" to "Peasant Defense" , since the word "Wehr" was used as a general term for weapon. The term Bauernwehr was also sometimes used for polearms, it was more a general term for weapons used by peasants. "Wehr" is also where the modern german word "Gewehr" has its origin, which is used to describe firearms, most often long guns. You can also find "Wehr" in poems and songs from the 19th century, where it stands for different types of weapons. Edit: I forgot to mention that sometimes the term "langes Messer" would also be used to describe a blade as shown in the video, since it is basically a long knife.
Yeah, don't forget the German word "Seitengewehr" which literally translates to "sidearm" - a weapon worn at the side - in the case of "Seitengewehr" most likely a bayonet.
@@kaizoebara Don't forget BundesWehr, Federal arm(y). Variations can be found in nearby languages. Maybe translate to "guard" as in chin guard or national guard.
@@miklow6605 No it wouldn't be a better translation and that is kind of the point. Do an image search for "Seitengewehr" and tell me how many guns you see. 'Gewehr' in its original sense meant 'something to defend yourself with' aka a weapon. Even at the time that 'Gewehr' had become synonymous with 'rifle', "Seitengewehr" still meant 'sidearm' and referred to a bayonet. This is true for WWI and WWII as well as the NVA = armed forces of former East Germany.
That's some really abusive testing, the only way to make that type of handle construction stronger is to swap out the brass pins for corby bolts or loveless bolts, to add an element of mechanical tightness, so it's not relying on epoxy bonds to retain it's strength. But there is a down side to that as well (When throwing your sword lol) because if the scale didn't pop off, the shock might have caused the wood to actually split and crack apart, leaving just the bolts intact, which would be more of a failure than just a single slab flying off. There's nothing wrong with using brass handle pins or mosaic pins, I use them they are plenty strong for normal use, they only failed because you threw the blade at a hard target, with a pile of rocks under it no less lol. Good video.
Something about watching the blade bounce off the stump over and over during the throwing test made it really entertaining and funny to watch. Like it's trying so hard but it fails every time
I absolutely fell in love with the headhunting axe when it came out! That thing is OP! So I'm not surprised to see another incredible product by this guy. Keep up the amazing work!
I've seen a few fantastic bauernwehr made by James Elmslie based on originals he documented and measured in museums and private collections. Really interesting weapons. Not many other makers doing them. Though he does often do the more classic style with a circular Nagel and straighter blade. Keen to eventually pick one up myself if I can ever find an antique affordably.
Being a blacksmith, in terms of appearance, what you would do is reprofile the entire blade (including the tang), refit the hand scales to fit the now smaller tang, and then refinish it. Now you have a brand new, slightly smaller and lighter version of what you had. The reason for all of that is, if you simply remove metal on one end, the point of balance is now different, not by much, but it's different. Considering how much skall ground away, you'd have to take away even more than originally needed. But then again, that's all for appearances sake, obviously skall wasn't too worried about appearance and what he did was completely fine ; )
I'm really impressed by the knife maker that gives his work to Skall and says abuse my work and try to destroy it on camera and upload that shit! Shows confidence in competence.
There are woodprints from the years before the great german farmers revolt of 1525, the scabbards of many Bauernwehren looked, as if a Bowie knife would be inside.
Seems to be a perfect gardening tool to remove branches and roots etc.. Much more elegant than a short axe. It even has a beer opener attatched to it😂. Especially for that porpose the narrow handle is perfect to use with gloves or to wrapp old cloth or bandage around- i remembee my grandparents had a messer like this for the garden with a bandage wrapped handle. Btw, it is not like a messer it is definitively a messer without question. I would buy it, if i had a garden...
The advertisement I saw before this video had shad in it so I didn't think much about it being an ad at first then I had a realization of "this isn't the sword nerd who's video I clicked on!" And now I'm seeing the video proper lol

A very interesting and entertaining video. Thank you so much. If I may ask some further questions:- What’s the length of the blade and the handle?? Where is the point of balance??

Quinn must be one hell of a blacksmith because that blade is impressive.
As you were throwing it I started imagining people with no sword skills just throwing these at their enemy hoping for the best. 😂
I fucking lost my ass to laughter at you smacking that skeeter. Hahaha.
Bu-bu-bu-but I want one! It looks so affordable and well made i want it!
Lookin pretty snazzy, Skal
This has to be one of the best you have reviewed and it can even be used as a misquote killer
A very interesting and entertaining video. Thank you so much. If I may ask some further questions:- What’s the length of the blade and the handle?? Where is the point of balance??
What a great sword. I like it.
Some of this tests makes me cry
That T shirt gives me mid 2000s nostalgia feels
Like the idea with the Tank xD
