Maybe you should now do a sword sharpening and/or repair video with that chipped Master Sword, to show how well sword fighters could address such battle damage after a fight.

Hello there, not a sword fighter but i am an amateur knifesmith I have done pretty much the same thing they did in the video with some knives and i grew to regret that very much. I didn't even put as big of a dent nor that many of them in the two knives i was using and it took me about a day of honing and sharpening to bring them back to an acceptable state (though admittedly, i'm not that good at it nor was i trying to go fast with it). Even now after performing maintenance many times over i can still see the parts that had dent in it. So overall it's not something you can quickly address after a fight, you probably have to set it aside and grab another sword until you can either spend some hours fixing it or get it to what is likely to be a very unamused bladesmith

In some old movies, you see the camp with a grindstone (think Skyrim). You have to re-grind almost a full new bevel. If a big chip, heat and drop in some molten steel to weld up the chip, and re-grind almost a full new bevel again. Then re-edge it. And yes it will be weaker than it was before. A soldier that went a full career (not cut short by death) doesn't keep the same sword throughout. EDIT: That's why knights had dress swords and working swords.

The first 3 minutes was a nonstop monologue, a really good one, but also a very long one. After a time i had to pause to process what you said as you didn't give me a pause to do so. When comparing it to a book, add clearer paragraphs. Again this was a really great video. Tyranth you should be proud! P.S. Shad must also feel like a proud teacher watching his acolyte achieve this video.

Day one 105 of asking for a video on the misconceptions of Medieval weddings. Or just a video on Medieval weddings such as how they were done, why they were done, and some of the rules and traditions of them. Plus how they can be incorporated into our fantasy stories and roleplay games if the story calls for it. That isn't just ripping off Game of Thrones. I also want to know if there is any text or examples somewhere of a lower class person marrying a upper class noble, and any of the repercussions of that. That has definitely happened somewhere.

The main character a Princess marries her love interest who is not a peasant but a Robin Hood esc outlaw. But I do have examples (albeit only mentioned) of Nobles or people of particular class and wealth in love with lower class people. But they can’t be together due to the worlds class system.

How many of the nicks could be worked out, how sharp will it be afterwards, and how many cycles/battles before it would need to be replaced. The video had me thinking about it when it ended haha.

I definitely think that much more so than the actual hardness of the steel used in either sword, the determining factor of how much damage each sword will take is the difference between their hardness. Sure, two really tough swords will hold up better than two really soft ones, but a slightly tougher sword will probably take significantly less damage than a softer one when they clash.

The overall video quality was spot-on, well done, it's clearly visible you guys are trying to up your game a lot and I think it brings results :). One of the issues Shad's videos tend to have is that they are unnecessarily long and especially Shad has a big tendency of repeating himself. None of that here. Reasonably short, to the point. And I learned something new, didn't expect the sword biting to be so minor. I am actuaqlly happy for that to be the case, because it means that blunt vs sharp sword fighting shouldn't be as different as I feared. Perhaps with longswords held by two hands and attacks meant to search for the bind instead of just hammering into the opponent's edge (something you rarely ever really want to do) the results would be slightly different, but probably not too much.

Great video! One of the best so far. Can you do a followup on how that kind of damage was repaired? It looks like grinding out the bigger notches would lose a lot of metal, especially after a few cycles of battle and repair. Or did they actually re-forge to fix the edge? Or just live with a few notches?
@MaaZeus6 ай бұрын
Smaller notches get hidden or even removed by complete resharpening of the sword but bigger notches, you have no choice but to live with them or retire the sword if they have a risk of catastrophic failure. At least can reprofile the notches so they are sharp and not something that would tangle up with clothes or such during cuts but the edge itself will not be 100% straight ever again. You cannot forge more material back to the blade either, trying it would just ruin the tempering of the sword. You can only recycle its materials for a completely new sword (or something else like tools) and make it from scratch.
