Idk what took me so long to find this channel. I have a new favorite swordsmith.

What a master class and a beautiful sword. I love the contrast of all the different material. I think for most people this would have needed 2 or 3 men to complete. Honestly there should have been an award for "not taking the easy route" You won yourself a new sub with bells on. Incredible skill!

Nice job it looks great.

So, you got that steel by just.... combining different irons? I'm... you sir, are a voo-doo hoo-doo hocus-pocus worker. I think you'd probably even give Dumbledore and Gandalf a run for their respective money.

This is an amazing knife and the technique was super cool to see.

nice kitchen Knife

Man…. I absolutely love this channel. This the blacksmith channel that blacksmiths watch.

Exceptional work and processes.

If you have any issues it will come in the Quench. The steels will react and the stainless will react in a different way. Good luck with it, looks great so far!

Why did you add glass on top of all metals?

Metallurgically and technically the most interesting video of this challenge I've seen!

Remarkable build of skill talent and knowledge. Awesome job brothwr

Beautiful, Sir!

I hand make and carve hickory walking staves, so totally opposite of what you do. I really enjoyed watching your art. The joy for me in a video like this is how much you enjoy doing it. The true mark of a craftsman is the love of what they do and you seem to have that. Look forward to watching more of your builds. 🗡

Very impressive, Sir!

Very nice work! I think real Ulfberht swords were made of crucible steel, but, just as how in modern times you'll find more fake Gucci handbags than you will real Gucci handbags, some 2/3rds or so of all the Ulfberhts found have been fakes. That's not to say that they were bad swords or even cheap swords, just that they weren't actually Ulfberhts. Some of the fake Gucci handbags out there are really good quality. They just weren't made by Gucci. The Ulfberht was the Gucci handbag of its day.

I learned a lot in this video and I’ve got to agree with Mr. Tyrell,that was a lot of work! Great job!

I'm so grateful you brought up the uncertainty of the crucible steel ulfberht theory, excellent work

Wow Spencer! Full of information and try another epic build! Every video that you publish are awesome! Thanks again!

Wow 🙀

Cool beans Spencer! Looks like some serious effort involved. Loved the repurposed sample bottles, they finally found a job.That coated rebar looks familiar too.Have a great summer!---The Oiler

STUNNING!!!

So… I’ve watched this twice and will most likely watch several more times just for the simple fact being, this is an educational video that gives you information that most of the time cost money. Thank you again for sharing. Amazing job.

Out standing job. 👏👏👏

Amazing work, as always!

Love the wrought iron came out great!

Love it❤

Nice sword. I noticed that you ended up making the same mistake most people do when trying to make a viking era sword. You made the handle far too long. Even made for someone with size xl hands, the grip length should only be about 3.5 inches long. Your hand is supposed to be going over the pommel a bit when held correctly according to surviving texts.

Amazing build! Subbed!

I like that you forged in the fullers. It seems more authentic for some reason.

Can someone please tell me what the glass, or sometimes pepper is added for? ❤

Can't tell how tall you are, but your arms and hands are big for sure, so I can see how you can handle that sword, even at 4 lbs. Really nice work!

Fascinating build and the sword is magnificent! Thank you for the education as well!

Ты классный мастер! Лайк. Подписка.

Test it on a leg of pork.

Love the steel nerd talk haha. Interested in knowing how niobium affects the overall performance of the steel at austenitising temp, do you reckon it contributes to carbide segregation much like the chromium will? Either way, awesome work mate, brilliant build.

OK👍

Dumb question of the day. What was the green stuff you put in to make the ingot? And what does it do?

Fantastic build! man.... I love the WOOTZ.... on my list for one day! Looks soo good.

Great job dude!

👍👍👍🙂

If I didn’t know, you were a pretty nice guy I’d be scared as hell if I saw you walking around with that thing. Awesome Work.

Bro, you got the know how, and the can do. And who says a man can create anything of worth without a bit but if profanity? You done it. And done it well.

Interesting stuff 🤔 nicely done 👍

2:08 cmon disclose.... we won't tell anyone 😈

Awesome work brother!

Spoke too soon, I just tried to vote for you, but found out after my last comment that I could not. Too bad. Please do more videos on the metallurgy of Wootz, particularly the multiple re-heats needed.

Real WOOTZ! Realistic Ulfberht Design! Real Blacksmithing! Thank you for doin' it right. I've worked in steel mills since 1978 and you're the real deal, swinging hammers and not relying on fancy inlays. I voted for you and hope you win.

Your videos are always super interesting man. Congrats for the sword, really cool use of that weird swage block to forge and weld the tip of the cutting edge, clever idea! It came out looks great, love it!

Great Build!
