BeckoningZebra1 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Have you ever wanted to see a real life energy sword? Well look no further! Ok, so maybe it's not humming with energy but just look at that detail! This energy sword was replicated by Tony Swatton, a Master blacksmith. (In case you didn't notice) This sword is made of steel and measures in at 2 inches wide, and 39 inches long. The blade had to be heated to 600 degrees Farenheit to achieve that beautiful blue and purple color.

Snipe MD Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Meanwhile, thousands of pimply nerds run towards the sword with thousands of there mother's dollars and demand it to be sold, to which the blacksmith stabs them in the eye with a fork....... ......I'm First by the way, so you know that I was going to say something Fu ed up. Censorship FTW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I bet that thing will break against a properly tempered blade. >.< Looks pretty decent though, just that that bloody thing isn't safe at all, the hilt is surrounded by sharp metal that you can cut yourself with, thus making it a bit silly to be anything but a wall prop. And plus, you've got your facts wrong or that's just a bad smith. You harden blades, then temper them (otherwise they're a bit useless). Heat to 2100 fahrenheit, roughly. Then it is quenched when glowing red. You'll have a blade that can slash straight through an arm, but it'll be brittle (it'd break, like you're using it against Titans when you're really using it on a plank of wood). Temper it then by heating to 600 Fahrenheit (roughly), you then let it cool. You'll lose some integrity of the blade, but it won't break even a tenth as easy as it was when just hardened. Tempered blades are the best, just a little less integrity that you'll need for the hardest of objects you want to mess up, but your blade will survive for years instead of days.

Unease Peanut Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think the carrier of the thing hurt himself earlier than a potential enemy. Looks pretty neat though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinWarrior Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I smell a Skyrim mod to come from this... Sword looks deadly, but not exactly like the energy sword, though, that's probably impossible. Still looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buns Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 A user by the name of "Screech" already made a post about this.Also it isn't real since it is made of metal and not plasma. False advertising Zejerk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbrabbit Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I respect people like this. Forge makers and craftsman of today are not to common. So someone like this deserves some big recognition from someone or some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
