  • Today I'm going to forge Scythe a pole weapon used by military. Couple of years back i forged a scythe with a different design, you guys loved it, so i decided to make another one with a new design so here it is.
    This time I used rusted iron chain Link to forge it. I believe iron of chain is quite good to forge something big and strong. I hope you'll enjoy it and share it with everyone and let me know your favorite weapons from history in the comment section. If you enjoyed video give it thumbs up and Subscribe @OLDSMITH to never miss any update.

    It's the shape of a scythe, but it's not really one. The inner curve is suppose to sharpened, not the outer curve. You just made a medieval battle weapon.

    • @OLDSMITH
      @OLDSMITH  Před 12 dny +33

      Yeah, I agree with you. Scythe's inner curve should be sharpen but I'm not going to cut crops and I made a weapon so I sharp it's outer curve to make it practical weapon.
      Hope you understand.

      ​@@generalgabrielsatori a farm scythe was not double edged though. I've owned and seen many and even in medieval Europe it was the same only the concave side was sharpened. To have it double edged as a work tool would have posed a risk to the person using it . And if you see the old war scythe it is indeed single edged.

    I feel like this is more of an axe. Don't get me wrong, it's a very cool weapon and the process to make one is incredible. I just think that with the bladed edge being on the outside of the curve, this would be used more like an axe. A scythe cuts on the inside of the curve to pull grass(or a person in the case of a war scythe) towards the cutting edge, like a sickle. With this, you have to cut with the outside of the curve, making it more similar to an axe blade for chopping, not hooking.

    Blade edge is on the wrong side of the curve like the shape is close to appropriate for a war scythe or fantasy sickle on a pole handle I mean it still looks good but don't call it what it isn't
    Also it would have been smarter to forge the pointed Long blade section instead of just cutting it out sure it might have taken longer but could have done it and then once you got it closer to the desired shape and size then you could have cut it out or attacked it with the grinder and the belt sander
    Also the shape of the blade is more like a kopesh from Egypt

      Yes, the epoxy alone isn't enough to hold the blade in place to the handle. Adding a mechanical component prevents the blade from wiggling in any air pockets within the epoxy which could, over a long enough period of use, cause the epoxy to loosen its hold for the metal and the wood.
