@yoursexualizedgrandparents6929 4 года назад

I doubt they ran out of material, I'm sure it's just for budget reasons. They're selling the sword from this video for $2k, even though you could probably find a better one for about half of that. They're not a multi-million dollar company, they need to make money to keep making these videos, so making another one could be a bad idea. I'm just rambling now, but in short, Will has no experience with making a sword like this, so if he were to try again it could end up being another failure.

Humor is about leveraging suffering. Observational jokes leverage the mutual suffering of the one telling the joke and the one hearing the joke. Self deprecation jokes leverage the suffering of the one telling the joke. Puns, however, are unique in that they leverage the suffering that they are about to cause to the one hearing the joke.

English will often use a foreign word to mean that word from the place the word comes from.

@marcuschung1843 4 года назад

Jian refers to a sword with an edge on both sides of the blade; a dao is for single edged blades. For a straight translation without context jian=sword and dao=knife but we see that a lot in history; for example, messer in German means knife, but we also see single edged swords with the same title. The way to distinguish sub classes of dao/jian/messer is by what leads the word(yanmaDAO, liuyeDAO, kriegsMESSER).

'Hilt' which comprises Cross guard (or quillon), GRIP, Pommel. It may also have a knuckle bow and other elements on a Rapier. Keep up the excellent work...just stop calling the Grip a handle.... :-) And happy 21st Will !

@TheWhiteDragon3 4 года назад

You've really salvaged a potentially catastrophic mistake into a beautiful blade. I'm not sure if it can truly be called a Jian, but it definitely maintains the traditional aesthetic and design intent despite using western construction methods (ie. the right answer to a math question using the wrong formula). If you guys ever want to get nerdy with it, there's _loads_ of different types of Jian from different time periods. I don't know if there's any books out there in English describing the typology of blades, but there are some absolutely beautiful examples out there, and even Jian which look identical but are balanced differently, giving an entirely different feel. Can't wait to see what's coming next!
