@@altimer1 I always dreaded them making a movie or a TV show. It's just "too" dense. There is no doing it justice. For the sword awesome work, great Heron marked blade design.
@@ngcastronerd4791 I wish it could have been done better. Maybe you're right and it was always too dense to stand a chance at a good write. Maybe it was because no one can make someone else's artwork shine and accept that as their role, they have to slap their name all over it in the name if improving it. Maybe it's because power hungry executives want to rish filming so a season is far too short to do the story justice. We may never know, but we will always know that this sword, is a gorgeous and faithful recreation of a sword pulled seemingly out of my imagination
Thank fuck I'm not the only one. I'm an OG fan of the books, but the 3 inaccuracies in as many sentences in the opening 3 sentences of the show... threw me so hard I haven't been able to retry lol
@@Thoron_of_Neto Same here. The whole show is one giant inaccuracy. Its fortunate that Jordan is dead or he would have had a heart attack at the complete crap show they made.
I watched the whole season one… the deviations from the book along with the erratic casting choices made it very difficult. I’m not sure Robert Jordan would have approved. This should be a nice build and I like forging, bladesmithing as well as blacksmithing videos as well.
First, I would drop so much money for this blade. Second, past the first episode, the changes are less jarring and more understandable. Amazon is not going for a 14 season show. Perrin is a deeply moral character, prone to internal debates, whilst maintaining a stoic exterior. To display this on screen, is difficult. So they added.
Really amazing. You’re a true artist with ability for fine detail. You must be very patient as this took mega hours. Very much admire your work. And thank for no annoying music! The sound of your work is like music already.
I really want to see Mat's weapon. It's not a spear by the way. From the description it's more of a Glaive than spear. I wonder how they would go about making the metal black ?
I love watching you do your thing, its very therapeutic. I think you should make Jon Snows Woolf Head Sward from Game of Thrones it would be well within your capabilities.
I love how he over builds all of his work but doesn't overbuild his work like his swords just seem like they would be at home in the medieval era 1100 to 1300 and in MMORPGs and other fantasies like the swords of kings and Noble heroes this dude is awesome just straight out
Very well made Sir, you are a true craftsman. That is for sure proven in this video. I would comment though al though it has been several years since i read the series I do believe that the heron on your actual blade is upside down.
Que lamina linda realmente incrível isto era uma arma para homens de coragem que para vencer o inimigo tinha que usar de sua força destreza e agilidade as armas de hoje são armas de covardes sem que o inimigo nem o veja é abatido sem nem um esforço mas se pensarmos bem as armas evoluíram facilitando e permitindo que até mesmo um covarde seja herói.
so, if this was a type, would it be a Swiss sabre or a falchion….. would have loved to have seen a complex hilt/basket on the right hand position (nearest guard) the over all aesthetic is fantastic, love th way you fit your cross guards…
31:46 How does that not hurt your heat treatment? Until now, I’d been under the impression that any temperatures above ~200-ish degrees Celsius ruined the temper. Is there some nuance I’m missing?
Now that Elden Ring is such a huge hit, I wonder just how many requests this man gets every day for one of the swords or other weapons from that game? LOL I can only imagine
I would clean up for a month and make different work stations. organize it better. Invest in 3d printing bronze casting, gilding etc. But i can’t offered the time... I have a list of pressing work for around 1 year. Ad a constant idea stream to it and an engaging family live. too much to do for one lifetime. Not that I am complaining, I love it all. Even the mess. The mind is the gateway to the divine.
That press seems to be in need of some major repairs. It should not drift off to the side like that when you press down on anything. Do yourself a favor, spend a couple of hours, figure out which part is broken, repair it and stop dealing with it drifting to the right like that
@@freerkwieringa275 I was thinking that an inset medallion right at the bulge in the handle would look pretty good. that way it would not interfere with a normal grip.
It’s a sword based off a fantasy series taking place in a post apocalyptic world where former Earth-like cultures got jumbled together. Hence the combination of otherwise odd elements.
The craftsmanship, as always, sky-high. But the product itself - ugly mix of sword and sabre, mix of hedgehog and grass-snake, as on my taste... Is that blade historically true or it's just a customer (or, maybe, your) fantasy? Cause you're not an ordinary craftsman, you are an artist...
as a The Wheel of Time fan, this warms my hearth and reminds me that there is light in this world still.
Yes after the horrible tv-show I turned to darkness.
@@Slake2 it was sooo bad like wtf

Amazing stuff, really enjoy your videos - thank you for not filling them with annoying music and just letting the work speak for itself!
thanks. thinking about voice over work though.
@@freerkwieringa275 oh that'd be fantastic to hear details. You could even do speech to text and use closed captioning so folks could turn it on/off

I'd love to see you do Perrin's two handed hammer and Matt's spear.
Definitely Matt's spear

Just stunning
Beautiful work

Great work!
Such an elegant weapon, the mind wanders off into high adventure.
Magnífico trabajo como todos los tuyos, es un placer verte trabajar y me encantan tus espadas y cuchillos, un saludo.
Such an incredible blade. Excellent craftsmanship. 👌
Beautiful.
thank you!
I put off watching the individual videos and waited for this full video, it's the little things in life.
I did the same thing. Was really excited for the big one. Now I'm gonna open all the others just so he has views
@@franciscoesteves4304 I don't know about you but it was hard not to watch the single vids haha.

Same here...much prefer to wait for the entire thing.
great to hear the format is appreciated!

thank you!
Linda obra de arte parabéns 👏👏👏
Congratulations again, beautiful piece.
thank you!
This is the best one ive seen yet i love wheel of time
thank you!
Well done. Thank you.
thank you!
Worth watching every minute. This weapon is on par with Longship Armoury's Serenity sword. Fantastic work. Thank you
thank you!
عمل رائع؛ أدعوك للتعرف على دين الإسلام؛ أدعوك للتعرف على الله الذي اهلمك هذة المهارة في الصناعة 🌹
Nice man I watched the entire movie
I love watching you do your thing, its very therapeutic. I think you should make Jon Snows Woolf Head Sward from Game of Thrones it would be well within your capabilities.
Amazing work but.... can't be the heron blade without herons on the hilt. Without that there is no dragon reborn.
so cool
Sir, you are an artist ! And if I had the money I would definitely come to you for my first real heirloom blade !
Excellent
My man! I love the WoT. Awesome build.
Wow very nice
I love how he over builds all of his work but doesn't overbuild his work like his swords just seem like they would be at home in the medieval era 1100 to 1300 and in MMORPGs and other fantasies like the swords of kings and Noble heroes this dude is awesome just straight out
I mean, apart from the welds lol
@@danielbroome5690 well historically forge welding was done but I see your point the modern Wells are not medieval forge welding
the swords are also a bit on the lage side.
@@freerkwieringa275 love them none the less but how balanced are they got to know
Ага, средневековая кузница с газовым горном, кучей электрических станков и гидравлическим прессом 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome work, reminds me of Baran’s sword in Dragon Quest.
thank you!
Coolest sword I’ve ever seen
amazing
thank you!
i liked this sowrd
thank you!
Very well made Sir, you are a true craftsman. That is for sure proven in this video. I would comment though al though it has been several years since i read the series I do believe that the heron on your actual blade is upside down.
could be, but commissioned this way, its always strange to determine the top of a sword, is it the tip or is it the pommel.
Masterpiece
Amazing
thank you!
very nice weapon
В России мастер, у которого левая рука основная, считается более талантливым))) Отличное видео, спасибо!
I like the normalizing between the planks. Just gently coax that steel. No need for a hammer here. To keep a blade this long true is an art!!
Die matte afwerking is heerlijk, het ziet eruit als een levensgevaarlijk ding. mooie film weer
dankjewel!
That's a dream sword 😍

Imagine Freerk was born in the medieval, his swords "will keel!"
so, if this was a type, would it be a Swiss sabre or a falchion….. would have loved to have seen a complex hilt/basket on the right hand position (nearest guard) the over all aesthetic is fantastic, love th way you fit your cross guards…
Please make Perrin's Axe and Mah'alleinir!
Please, make a scoia'tael sword, from The Witcher 3
Are both the sides of the blade are sharp ??
Всё же сверло тоже имеет закалку и отпускается при перегреве или сверлении раскаленного металла.
I can't find the moment he channels the one power into the blade... maybe I can't see it after all. Blood and Ashes, these Aes Sedai...
That’s a separate episode! 😁
hum, how to do this...
@@freerkwieringa275 Empty all your thought and feelings into a flame...
Fans sure make the best stuff these days.
thank you!
Don't know what it costs...but it's worth every damned penny. 👍
it was hard to let it go...
А нельзя это видео уложить в 10 минут.🤨🤨 за работу ставлю 👍

it depends, i keep a low profile.
Love the design of that sword...

Can a person truly fall in love with a sword ? Because I think I just did !
Way better than a generic katana with a heron stamped into the blade...
thank you!
@@freerkwieringa275 Thank you for actually caring about the Heron Mark Sword.
This comment alone throws enough shade at the show, to cool even an wetlands in the three fold land lol
I want to see more fancy patterns.
you could order a feather Damascus blade.
This has to be my favorite sword ,personally I prefer the bright steel to the bronze finish
thanks! I think i do too, ut it was a nice techniek to show.
If only the script writers had as much talent as the artisans.
thank you!
I want it plz
you can order
Was wondering if Freerk had his choice to redesign or expand or purchase anything new for his shop what would it be?

Could you please do a feather damscas blade soon, or at some point
if one would order it, i made some a few years ago.
Can someone explain that technique he used with the torch heat and brushing to turn all of the steel that goldish colour?
th-cam.com/video/I1o5PNHLO_c/w-d-xo.html
Heat the metal and brush it with an brass brush, that's it.
yes not that hard, but quite effective
Ooof, the blade kept bending... Even after the quench...
it should bend shortly after ht, its the short window of time to correct warps etc.
@@freerkwieringa275 I know, but it kept bending multiple times, that usually (not always) says that spot is weak.
Hoeveel uren steken hier in totaal in?
80 maybe
Subbing just for the love for WoT
It's watermelon time now!!. chop something up.. :)
That press seems to be in need of some major repairs. It should not drift off to the side like that when you press down on anything. Do yourself a favor, spend a couple of hours, figure out which part is broken, repair it and stop dealing with it drifting to the right like that
the press is too strong for the frame. it warps.
I always pictured the warder swords as katanas not falchion type blades. They took too many aesthetic liberties with the lore turning it into a show
could be
those square edges on the handle are gonna hurt.
not that sharp
The edge of the sheath is too exposed, it needs s metal cover
I really need a press and a surface grinder lol
i started without.
a beautiful sword, but there was supposed to be a heron on the hilt as well.
it was not commissioned. I thought about adding one as a menuki.
@@freerkwieringa275 I was thinking that an inset medallion right at the bulge in the handle would look pretty good. that way it would not interfere with a normal grip.
The Heron on the handle?

More accurate than the show's version...

هذا ليس سيف عربي بل هو من حضارات مشتركة. السيف العربي القديم في زمن الإسلام وما قبله كان فيه حدبه بسيطة جدا ولم يكن محدب كما هو اليوم ومقوس

It’s a beautiful sword but the book description is that of a katana… but then nothing in the movie follows the books
I agree, but if you look at the cover for PoD, it does look more scimitar than katana.
