its funny you can here me sqeak with pain when i pic up the rapier i had a very painful back that day
I hope your back is feeling better today Neil
Hurray!!!
Thank you so much for the video! Your knowledge is invaluable and you work is stunning.
Must be what put the 'tin' in tintinnabulation
I am sure that the men who put so much care and skill to produce such elegant and extremely functional blades would have taken care to do the same with the handle. I think the balance you have struck would have been applauded by the maker of the original piece.
A new video! I'm hyped
More videos please!
done two more just for you maybe out them in september
Your work is stunning. One of these days when I'm not broke I'm gonna definitely being buying one of these.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Keep the videos coming!
Very, very nice work sir!
Lovely as usual! and thanks for mentioning Sardinia!!! Huge hugs!!!
Fantastic, Neil!
Glad to see you are making videos!
That really was something, thanks Neil!
I saw a San hunter with a steel knife and sheath that was almost identical to that. The sword music is lovely, you can imagine them playing music on their weapons around the fire.
I'd love to see one of those Sardinian copper blades one day.
I find the idea of using copper for such a large weapon of war fascinating and frankly somewhat unbelievable. I would have thought copper was to soft for such a long blade. 12 inches sure but double that? Mind boggling really.
The copper age peoples were far more ingenious than we give them credit for I think.
Fascinating work, your reproductions are so dedicated to the details, love it! I tried chiseling decorations onto bronze blades several times with bronze tools only but this takes forever as they get blunt so rapidly
not all bronze is even, even if the alloy is identicle how its cast and chilled make a big differnce
Thank you for sharing your knowledge on here, really captivating.
just tried my bronze knife and it sings too !
Fantastic video! Hope there's more out soon
yes i have two more just filmed
Thank you for these videos.
Awesome work as usual!
Good to see new videos Neil. I very much hope to buy one of your beautiful bronze swords in the not too distant future. I would be like a child in a toy shop in that workshop hehe.
Brilliant video :)
This was absolutely fascinating. I’ve been waiting for more videos since your last one ages ago. So glad to see you’re back!
Wow.. I never expected you to upload again.... I originally heard of you from Skallagrim.
Beautiful content. Sharing wherever I can.
Very nice 👍 what a relaxing and interesting video 😁 I’ve never seen a rapier shaped quite like that before 😮
i think there is around 1100 of them in the UK so they take many forms
Much appreciated, Neil! Interesting video, especially for a Scot like me. I hope your back has eased up, videos are great but your health is more important!
👍
My name is Rexor, I tell ppl I’m an Atlantean survivor: an ancient man from ancient high civilization, destroyed in a cataclysmic event, when my people became war like. Anyways, it’s all a bunch of bullshit I made up, some of it anyways. 😊 I own a Conan the barbarian windless steel craft Master sword⚔️ because it’s badass ☠️ and I put two and two together and I came up with (Rexor the Atlantean and the sword of Crom) 🗡️ 🫡🕺at your service. Well man, I love your content man, check this out ole bean 🫘… … melting down bits of ancient bronze to make a modern bronze sword.. because why not “?” Bahaha I’m pretty sure I’m brilliant and you my good sir, are a national treasure. 🙏⚔️
Hi mr. Neil. Really liked your video. Only the term "rapier" is not really being used properly, I think :) rapier is a specific type of sword, specific to the iberian type from the 16th century, and its europeans imitations. It most likely comes the term "roupeira", or "ropera".
it may be difffernt where you live but here there is a whole typology based on rapiers
@@BronzeAgeSwords Can you point me to literature using the term like that, establishing that typology? That's very peculiar. Anachronistic, even.
@@BronzeAgeSwords No need. Googled "bronze age rapier" and it appears indeed it's a term used in the field of Bronze Age weaponry, though it does come across as an unnecessary anachronism (ignorant of the terms actual origins, and specifications) by whoever introduced it.
I would still try to avoid it, though.
