Awesome to see that he normalizes his blades. So many smiths skip that step then wonder why their knife warps or cracks when they quench it during the hardening process. Great video, badass bush knife...sword. Thanks for sharing.

It's hard to pull off. If the heat isn't even and isn't quenched out right it will create a weak spot with a ton of stress on it. The transition from blade to handle makes for a very thin cross section.

I would've made the handle a bit different. You can definitely mount it on a pole and use it as a spear, but I'd make it where you can use it to keep your flint, kindling (if that's what it's called, my English isn't great) and other small survival stuff. Like a multipurpose handle. Awesome sword nonetheless.

Hi.This is the first video of yours that I have seen and I am very impressed with the style and execution. I know it's a home made video, and I think it is great. I like that you have shown some of the lesser shown on KZitem but more practical blacksmithing things such as trueing the blade by bashing it in the anvil when it starts to all go sideways. Awesome work. I am wondering why you put an edge on the top, or back edge of the blade? To my thinking, if this is a Bush, or Brush sword, the back edge does not serve any useful purpose in 'Bush' use, and is more of a hindrance in a circumstance when you may use the sword to baton wood for example. Or perhaps my understanding of a 'Bush' Sword is very different to yours? lolIn any case, you have produced a fantastic looking, and performing, blade. I really like your video. You have two thumbs up from me. Thank you.
