imagine pulling a bladesmith from that era into the present and showing him the 3D printer, cnc guided laser and powertools. they'd be frothing from the mouth. Very cool build. That will make a great display piece above a mantle. Maybe make a second one and a matching coat of arms?

These videos are a pleasure to watch. Not only do we see a master craftsman at work, we also benefit from his excellent videography and editing skills.

testing the sword would've been the cherry on top

I saw the NASAspaceflight stream in the background!!! A fellow Starship enthusiast I see

I really liked the outcome of the sword, it really turned out nice. The sword is on my list to make, printed a pattern out long time ago.

Can you imagine forging metal back in medieval times and seeing green fire 🔥 come out. How awesome is that, just fascinating. Awesome sword btw and great channel. Oh and I love the Keg Forge. Very cool

hehe, watching the SpaceX live streams in the background eh? Nice.

Thanks for the raised handle edges. Finally someone who knows what he is doing. Great job!

I love watching casting turn out so well.

That is perhaps the most beautiful khopesh I've seen on YT. It's simple, but absolutely elegant. It was like watching a Rolls Royce commercial, but for an ancient weapon of war instead. 10/10 and subbed.

Beautiful work.

Beautifully done.

Excellent work.

What blows my mind with bronze is that, basically, it mandated ancient globalism. Tin and copper come from entirely different areas. It wasnt a coincidence that iron became so popular after the fall of the roman empire. Yeah, it was stronger... but once you figured it out, you had cheap tools you could make in any area with iron ore. The fact that it rusted sucked, but you didnt have to rely on worldwide trade to get it. I love to think about how the world would be different if iron required ore from two different regions. Would bronze era relationships have stayed important for longer? Would we have regressed to a copper age? Would a new roman empire have taken hold? I dont want alt history discussing whether nazis would have won. I want to see what would have happened if iron required international cooperation.

Gorgeous!

I really like the ancient reproduction thing you have going on. They have great significance especially for people who are interested in attempting similar reproductions but also to those who simply enjoy history and like to see items from reliefs and museum pictures in 3D and appreciate the dimensions.

Love this! Cool handle

You're great at creating really cool art and also excellent videos detailing how you did it. Looking forward to your next videos. I liked that I could see how the molten bronze had flowed inside the mold on the surface of the unfinished casting. I imagine you'll have quite a few subscribers in the future.

You did a great job.

Very cool! I really enjoyed your progress to make this sword for my homeland

You are just the best who shot something like that, it turned out really beautiful !

Good work

That's one beautiful blade. The craftsmanship number one but also the alloy and handle material are super nice!

Always amazing mate keep up the great work

Great project Seth! I'd imagine sanding the inlays to fit was very tedious. The fit looked great in the video, but I wonder how happy you were with it. I think an old gunsmith's trick might be very helpful with this kind of thing. Hold the metal part over a sooty flame, and cover all the mating areas with soot. Then when you dry fit the parts together, you will have a soot mark on the clean part, and a clean spot on the sooty part. This shows you where to focus your work.

This was exiting!

Bayek will be proud to equip this khopesh😄

Great job it inspires me to take up that hobby again great job!!

Looks sharp enough to cut through paper! :D

very cool project and good to see you back making videos!

Great video 😊 that turned out awesome

Very nice. I love it

Very nice ! Great success

It looks like something straight out of assassin's Creed origins I love it

Cool idea of the cope being painted red

So much workhours to do it but the effect - TREMENDOUS! Awesome job!

I see the starship stream :))))

Interesting Model. Doesn't appear too often nowadays and definitely has the potential for amvariety of purposes. It also Reminds me of assassins creed Origins a lot and would be really nice to see in more upcoming Games in My Opinion. Aside from that, this Project turned out perfectly. The only thing i somewhat missed here, is a cutting Test.

How do you rejuvenate your petrobond sand?

This music together with your voice reminds me of those old “How It’s Made” episodes! Great job….new subscriber here!

Great content, you editing skills are 👌

Nice

Bummed we didn’t see any action shots with the final blade! Great vid, keep it up

Great choice of sword. ^_^

Классно! Ты - молодец! Сделай такой же из булата!

Beautiful work, hated that you glued it.

Beautiful work of art, both the sword and the vid. Did you sharpen it? It would be cool to see you cut something with it.

Elegant 🌹💖

I'm freaking out I'm freaking out

anyone else notice the megalodon tooth as a clamp? XD love it

прикольно!

I was hoping you would work harden the edge to make it actually sharp.

Green flame 🔥🍏

And now work hardening to make it a functional sword ;)

this is the best knopesh sword i've ever seen!....do you sell your work?

will it keel? awesome video btw!

When you first opened the mold, I thought the casting had broken and felt so bad for ya lol. But it was just dirt stuck to it. Haha

Is there a reason to not cold forge the edges?

Could you tell me the composition of the molding sand. Perhaps you explained in the casting process, but I do not speak English well. Thank you.

This video could have gotten twice as many views if you had tested it at the end! It looked so cool, but it would have looked even cooler cutting something in half.

I'd love to see a bronze spearhead.

Sehr geiles Teil! Aber sollte man bei Bronzeklingen nicht eigentlich die Schneide mit einem Hammer bearbeiten, um sie härter, bzw. haltbarer zu machen? Trotzdem gelungene Arbeit. Son Teil hätte ich auch gerne...

Try making ancient Immortal army axe.

You really used the Megalodon tooth as a weight! HAHAHAH!

I am interested in getting into bronze casting, what PPE is necessary for it?

odd fact, but the Kopesh/Kepesh is thought to be more related to axes than swords. Being single edged and preceeded by the iconic egyptian club and later the one bladed club.

Where do you get your copper and tin? thanks!

Why didn't you use the cad file from what you 3d printed to cut the wood?

I hope I can get 1 of your bronze knife idol.

What kind of spray paint are you using?

wait, so I don't have to kill the Magister thousands of times to get this?

Please make a fail compilation too of motivation

Kindly let me know how much it is functional and what is the selling price?

how about trying cast iron bronze for a blade?

Another day, another sword, another FBI watchlist name

Omg I was like omg I named my mc sword khopesh!

POV: you main Diana

A beautiful piece when it was finished, but if you don't mind me saying so, the careful refining of the pattern seemed a bit pointless. You were always going to have to smooth and polish the sword when it came out anyway, spending hours getting a fine finish on the pattern was rather a waste of time.

I would have liked the scales to be pinned to the handles instead of gluing them in tho that is just me Beautiful craftsmanship tho

but will it cut?

You didn't heat treat the sword though?

Can you make indian sword

Nice work, are you sick of sanding yet? :)

High-tech

If not from bronze. A weapon I would wield.

Next time, sharpen the hook and tip. They used the hook to pull away a shield and then rammed it through.

But will it cut? Will it KEEL?

How much for two of those

your using the bronze megalodon toothe to hold the piece of wood

Great vid! The only critique I have is you using that nonsensical Imperial system when the world uses metric.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: I wonder if he made that bowl?🤔

Love your channel just discovered it but please don’t sharpen edges with a file 😢

The edge should have been peened to work harden it which gives a harder more durable edge.

Fun looking project, well done. I'm gonna be one of those guys though, ready for it... mono directional files only cut on the push or the pull, not both.

The only thing it Lacks is engravings

Would be a great zombie killer if it was made of steel.

why isnt he adding copper and tin at the same time?

I see people using spray paint to cheat the stencil trace

Anyone else think that sand looks like brown sugar?
