Outstanding craftsmanship! Truly enjoyed watching you work ! I like it better than a sword draws much quicker What an incredible skill set u have I can tell it took u years to reach that level of skill
Actually ordered it from a catalog. Company had 3 initials for the name. And specializes in stealth weapons like swords in canes. Knives in what looks like a fountain pen, and lots of other very interesting things.
This is a useful size, and blade shape. Most "sword" canes I see are too light and too long to be useful. Here, you can get some leverage, do some useful cutting, and still have a robust stabbing blade.
This was well crafted. I learned a bit too. However next time you make one get a longer one and use the file end as the handle. Plus the thinner end will be more easy to make a tip. One good hit and that nice handle will fall apart in your hand. It also doesn't allow for solid hits with it when striking. A spearhead is the way to go for this as well. Best stabbing tip.
HI at 2:50 you put it in the oven, I presume to harden the steel? What temperature do you heat it up to, for how long and do you cool it rapidly by quenching when you take it out again? Many thanks.
Hi Jon, I put it in the oven for one hour at 250c, left it to cool down until as low as room temperature, and repeat the same steps two more times. Hope this help.
Esta perfecto el trabajo pero tengo una duda, yo he trabajado con limas y siempre se rompen con el golpe o se le podría hacer algún tratamiento térmico para darle mas tenacidad? tienes alguna idea?
perdon por tardar en responder. Los archivos son duros y quebradizos, sí, templarlos realmente los hace muy fuertes. ¿Puedo saber para qué parte de la ballesta usarías la lima? Lo siento, no sé su idioma. Espero que el traductor de google habilite el uso para entendernos.
I'm not sure if I can call you a craftsman, only because you're using some modern tech. But I really would like, you to be recognized as one of the best on RU-vid!
I think he should’ve made a cane sword instead to fill out the cane a bit more by pounding the file a little so it would be thinner and longer but otherwise a great job!
did you soften that file before you started grinding? it makes it a lot easier, just so you know. get it up to forging temperature, and let it cool slowly for a day
Thanks Jesse for the question. It would be easier to soften it first but I like to temper the blade after grinding it to shape, this way I can avoid forging. You have a good advise. I should try it one day 😊
@@backyard.craftsman I wanted to ask the same question. Seems like it would be easier to grind after softening, but I understand the idea of wanting to avoid a forge. It's perfectly fine as long as your tools can still grind it down.
thanks brother for your comment. You might want to check this FB page, I think he also sell this type of walking stick web.facebook.com/sallyantiques?_rdc=1&_rdr
I made this one only as a hobby, but maybe you can buy one from this site www.swordcane.com/embellish.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-daUBhCIARIsALbkjSYiCzPB16tvDTsPazgT4ORrenTwuOc-KRfN_aWo_LHW31yLoyTX5RUaAtJeEALw_wcB
Man, when I saw you sharpening the cutting edge of the blade ( video 3:10 ), with the sharp point towards your body, I really scared as when somebody passing you from the back and accidentally push your body forward, you would be seriously hurt or lost your life ! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT AGAIN !
मैं इसे खाली समय में सिर्फ शौक के तौर पर बनाती हूं। मुझे खुशी है कि आपको यह पसंद आया। मुझे लगता है कि आपका स्थानीय लोहार आपके लिए अच्छी कीमत पर एक बना सकता है।
