@leoszes 4 года назад

the black "sooth" is called "forge scale" and a lot of smiths like to leave it on because its actually harder than the steel and also protects the steel from rust. smooth all the parts out and finish shaping with paper or files, then throw the pieces back into the forge until they're at least cherry red, take em out and wait till the color fades, test with water drops, once the water no longer immediately turns into steam, rub it down with a rag coated in lind seed oil. makes for a beautiful black finish .

@collinwolf8689 2 года назад

10:02 I want to emphasize how much of a good thing this is. This isn't just a cop out either, medieval craftsmen were really not all that concerned with symmetry as we are now. I'm not much of a sword guy, but definitely an armor guy, and in armor we constantly see asymmetrical pieces of armor and pieces of the metal with quite a rough finish due to the construction, and these are seen even on the highest of end pieces out there made for kings and the nobility. Modern craftsmen strive to accomplish the elegant level of imperfection. Though I must say, that crossguard may be a bit too much on the odd end, but it really does give it character.
