      Why don't you have a weapon and shield challenge? Each competitor will have to make a defense and offense weapon that would normally be used against each other. the shield of competitor 1 VS. the sword of competitor 2 then it is swapped. might be cool idea.

      difference is that blacksmiths actually spent time on their swords most of the time, at least if they wanted a decent sword. Most of the contestants dont even forge their own steel, theres been episodes where they literally just cut a shape out of a steel plate and then heattreat it. The older blacksmiths spent weeks if not months to make high quality swords, not 4 days. Though it should also be known that most of these guys are just hobbyists and not blacksmiths by trade

      @kizz i had to disagree on the lost art part.. in many places, guns are not for general population, in most of asia, sword making and sword art are primary mean of defence for general population until late 19th century. Before the ww1 happen..

      "Modern tools." Bro, anybody wanting to make serious use blades doesn't use a setup like either of these guys. A lot of the really good steels can't even be properly heat treated the way they do on this show.

    • @Schregger

    can someone explain to me why the blades are never quenched all the way?
    Like they only put in the part where the edge starts. Why not heat treat everything?
    And what i like about the judges is, that even though a blade breaks or won´t "make the cut" They still find some more or less empowering words about the weapon. It´s not like those cooking shows where the chefs say things like "Sometimes the best ingredients are the one that are not put into the dish" and they really give the contestants a bad feeling.
    Thats not the case here, which i like.

    This is why bladesmiths/knifemakers should always have a set of carbide bits on hand (or any metalworker who does heattreating really). Never know when hardened steel will need some holes drilled, will have to go slow with the appropriate speed/feed and cutting fluid, but carbide will get it done.

    Not being familiar with East Asian weapons I have a few questions.
    If this even a thing? Why the rings? I would think that they would hamper deep cutting.
    Also, shouldn't Mike use that silk to wrap the sword to his hand, like a Sword knot of late European swords? On that final cut, of the second sword, we can see the sash cover the blade edge. @ 8:20 Is the sash here purely decorative?

    • @Volfur2251
      @Volfur2251 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rings on asian weapons is a real thing and wouldnt be to suprising to see, while they have multiple functions for different things. Its main use was to create Inertia allowing for rapid striking while removing resistance which in turn also allow deeper cuts. Alot of asian styled weapons are based around the concept of speed over pure brute force

  • @storm0fnova

    if you drill the holes in of course it will weaken the blade. you gotta hammer the holes in while the metal is still hot. but i guess using actual forging techniques is too much to ask. they basically file down a piece of metal and call it a sword on this show

I think the smartest way the smiths in the video could have done it would be to put clay over where they intended to put the holes. Keep those 9 areas softer to reduce the chance of creating fractures. That's essentially what he did with the torch.

    When drilling hardened steel, it is important to use plenty of lubrication and perhaps coolant, there are lubricating pastes made specifically for drilling into hardened steel, but I find machining/cutting oil to be the best, apply a few drops and go nice and slow, making sure to not overheat your piece or your bit, pull out often, and resharpen regularly as needed. It might take a while, but with enough dedication you could probably drill that with a masonry bit.

      The 9-rings board sword is a difficult weapon to make. Even for traditional Chinese sword maker. That is why it is not a popular weapon. The purpose of the rings add weight to the sword. This weapon is mainly used by Chinese executioner to deliver clean cut to the head in one stroke.

      I presume for similar reasons to why they had polearms with rings in the blade; it prevents the blade sinking in too deep on a strike mid-battle and getting stuck, effectively disarming you.
