In this 40-minute video from the "Steel-edged Weapons" series you will be invited by master swordsmith Richard Kazda to his forge and guided through the half-forgotten world of swordsmithing.
In the film you will witness:
- The making of a replica Nordic-type sword using traditional swordsmithing methods, from selecting the material to the final assembly of the sword.
- Forging the individual elements of the sword, surface finishing, hardening the blade and strength tests, making the grip, decorating the guard and pommel, assembly of the sword, making the scabbard and performing cutting tests.
- Many detailed views, including decorating the sword with silver-copper and brass inlays.
- Clear animations explaining the production processes and the sword's construction.
The film was made with the aim of explaining the essentials of making a replica of a sword both to the uninitiated public and those more experienced in this field. Collectors, fencers, members of historical re-enactment associations, hobbyists and those who seriously consider making their own or buying their first sword will find here a wealth of information and previously unpublished swordsmithing procedures.
