My Immersion...

I would be curious if one design over the others had a better effective range.

There was a bounty hunter on the cover of an young adult novel way back when (the obiwan and qui-gon series), which I always thought was awesome, but yeah as realistic as Lightsabers are, the saber-whip is so much worse.

Ever since I was a kid I wanted Sokka’s boomerang (always had a thing for axes, I’ve got like 7). You made it look easy to make, so I’m gonna make one for sure

I am become death, reaper of grass.

I think the pole connecting the two scythes shouldent be perfectly round... Hard to index the blade. If the cross section of the pole was more like an oval or diamond shape, ot would be much easier to index the blade. Also if we had the boades facing the same way on the double scyle then youd have a kind of klingon batleth sword. 😋

AKA: DUSK sickles tested!

So, just for shiggles, reverse 1 blade on the pole to turn it into a scythe ba'leth from star trek? The Klingon may have been onto something, with no blade coming at you when you strike.

Hey Tyranth awesome sickles/sickle staff. Ought to give the Kama a go sometime it's kind of tricky to get the hang of it but I don't think you would have any problems wielding a Kama.

So you should configure the staff to have the hooks facing the same direction?

Something to always consider, when examining these sorts of movie weapons, is the strength of the character. Not as in power level, but in raw physical power. Death is a supernatural being and so a lot of the conventional limits that 'mortals' face don't apply. Same with Thanos, he's categorically beyond normal human strength and is more than capable of going toe to toe with godlike beings. Yes, Physics will get him in the end, but he can push how far that is a lot further than you or I could.

If you like those you should check out deaths scythes from darksiders 2

Now I wanna see a Godskin Peeler from Elden ring. You're gona love it .

If he was actually using a lightsaber whip, dragging the whip along the ground in preparation for a strike would cause so much damage to the ground.

Don't forget the hooking ability. You can control your opponent by hooking them, outside or inside the body, and using a pulling motion.

You didnt try the back edge 😢

That staff holding the sickles together could be long and that may make it a safer weapon. As to that comment that a weapon like these have less reach it can be an advantage. the sword and many traditional do not preform as well in close quarters. So this weapon pairing is good in CQB. being light means you could carry them with a longer reach weapon.

I have cut weeds before and never got them that sharp, great job.

my theory is they were made like that by design, to act as a self-defense weapon. Imagine, there's like 15-20 of you out in the field and a random wolf shows up. Or a couple of bandits. There's a big chance you'd have no weapons on you, and it would be uncommon to even own proper weapons as a peasant. So, the best chances you'd have is with the sharp metal thing you already working with.

What’s the matter? Lives flashing before your eyes?

If the two blades would face the same way on the pole, wouldn't tha make it even more wobbly when spinning it around? Also, then the weapon would have a front and a back for the opponent to see - although I don't know how much good that would do for him. Couldn't you just take it apart again and attach the sickles facing the same way, just to try it out?

Interestingly the weaponization of sickles is what led the Egyptians to develop the kopesh.

Well, I have few sickles laying around. They are old and rusty but I bet I could test them out myself. But, I do remember that back in the days when I was a kid, I used to visit my grandma and she used sickles all the time for, believe it or not, cutting grass for her rabbits that she had. And one time I decided to help her and since I back then was new to using sickles, I remember cutting myself just by touching them by the blades, instead of handle. Just because I wasn't paying attention and was talking to my grandma, thinking that I'm gonna take that sickle by the handle. Well, that was a lesson for me, because that cut wound hurt like hell back then. It was like burning. Good memory. By the way, my grandma died back in 2015. She was very old at that time. Like 80 years old. She was a good teacher for me and a good person.

From what I saw on Skallagrim's video testing a sparring set of these along with this video, I'd say that one of those would make a gnarly offhand weapon rather than doubling them up in both hands. Use something with some reach in the main hand and this thing would be not only great at getting control of the opponent's weapon, it would be a devastating finisher if your main-hand weapon opens up an opportunity to get in close enough to bring this thing into play. It would probably be one heck of a chainmail piercer too.

To anyone reading this, please repent and believe the gospel! There’s a loving God who wants to know you and save you. He died on the cross and resurrected so we can be forgiven of our sins and be saved. Please consider the state of your soul! Believe in Jesus and follow Him so you may have salvation. Life is short, please make the right choice today!

Give them a bit more heft. All of the force of the swing will be concentrated on the piercing point, and the sharpened/serrated edge will glide cleanly through soft tissue. It'd be like stabbing someone straight through with a sword, but instead of the slicing area of the blades simply moving through them in a straight line, with the curvature on the sickle, that momentum is transfered to a cutting motion. So yeah, slicing gouges in stuff is a guarantee. Plus, sickles are "just" a farm implement. Not something people really thing of as a weapon, so you do have the consealability factor. For as much as people carry around farm implements these days, anyways.

So make a Realistic Bat'leth...

Would’ve liked to have seen u use them as a retractable projectile but other than that this is really cool

This is how Tyranth meets his end... The sickles seem like a terrifying serial killer weapon, getting up close and bloody. Would not want to get torn through by those.

I would go more into a shopel or a full blown khopesh at this point. The Sickles the Death used were very large and not that short.

could you guy's maybe do a video on just talking about ac shadows if not that is fine i just want some input from some of you guy's on how true to Japanese history it may be

Here is the usual full support for channel growth.

Could you look at some of the dmc weapons

Imagine what that thing would do to your coconut after seeing what it did to that coconut. That's nuts.

Anything with a sharp edge can be a weapon. At least once. Anything that is traditionally related to cutting wheat is fit for Death.

Alright. So I have seen a number of videos from various content creators about Cap's shield. I have seen versions for throwing...I have seen a couple where they made a version that could ricochet, although that version was literally no good for anything else and versions testing other aspects of his usage. The one things that I have NOT seen, is anyone making a versions of Cap's shield to see how strong it can be made. Testing to see how high a caliber of bullet they can make one to withstand before failure. .38? .45? Higher? Lower? How many shots? NO ONE ha, as far as I can find, done that. That is, in all honesty the PRINCIPLE usage of the shield, protection against bullets (and other things). I realize that with the materials in existence making as shield strong enough to withstand multiple rounds from a firearm even in low caliber weapons, but still be light enough to use as a shield is a difficult challenge but no one seems to want to try it? Why? Would certainly be very interested in seeing not only IF such an item could be made, but HOW it would be made.

Tyranth your costume looks so good brother, red suits you so well

In Japan, sickle's have been used as a weapon for some time. It was actually in Okinawa that they were first used as such. After the Japanese took over Okinawa they forbade the people from owning weapons so the people took regular farm tools and turned them into weapons. The farming sickle became a weapons known as a Kama, and then when a weighted rope or chain was attached it became the Kusari-gama. These were used quite effectively. Eventually the weapons was adopted into the Japanese arsenal of weapons arts collectively known as Kobudo.

Awesome stuff... Please switch them so both blades face the same way, and give it a re-try... that would be a SICK weapon!!!!!!

Based fellow scythe/sickle enjoyer

Tyranth's swing is so much better than Shad's.

Zombie go boom actually tested this and managed to stick the pencil through a human skull in one go
