In this video I will be metal casting a bronze Canaanite sickle sword, also known as the Khopesh from the middle bronze age.
I cast this sword using a bronze alloy melted in my homemade metal melting furnace consisting of 88% copper and 12% tin.
The handle on this sword is inlayed with Walnut.
Its 60cm long and weighs 890 grams.

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?
@notfeedynotlazy
@notfeedynotlazy 2 года назад
Hilariosly, the bladesmith would point out that he only made a wallhanger because he just ground the edge off - didn't form it by cold-forging it with a hammer to thin it out into a cutting, work-hardened edge. (To be fair, the bladesmith wouldn't look so derisively at _other_ works by Robinson Foundry where he does _exactly_ that).

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.

Dude, iron predates the Romans by around a thousand years (the Hitites carved an empire by using iron weapons in the XVII century BC; Rome was founded 753 BC), and the fall of Roman empire (476 AC) by about two thousands. The rise of the Roman empire had zero to do with trade around Europe and the Mediterranean; they just carved by the (iron) sword an empire by destroying the civilizations (like the carthaginians, desdendants of the phoenicians), that HAD risen a millenia before them due to that trade. If you don't (quoting you) "want alt history" (a noble sentiment), start by not creating it yourself.

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.

@InvaliDidea123 2 года назад
@@silentferret1049 origins of the word sword might shed light on the idea of a sword. I realised that many Nordic big blades were single edged aswell. Like Puukko, Leuku, Sami Storra nibbi (lit. The big knife, a heavy tool for chopping up caribou), or Seax - in finnish Väkipuukko, many known to have been the length of a man's thigh and carried vertically (instead of the Norse/Dane horizontal seaxes). How ever, I do not know what they used in 1008 when "holy Olof came to visit", nor do I know what preceeded them in the bronze age.

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.
