Description: The first version tested: youtu.be/qrIv9EORYQc Would Star Trek Klingons approve of this? Well, it's somewhat closer to the original created by Kahless the Unforgettable but still considerably different. It's now asymmetrical, with two distinct blade / point shapes for different uses. It's lighter than it was before, although still pretty hefty. A thinner version would be more agile. Perhaps some will find this useful as inspiration for exotic weapon designs in sci-fi or fantasy settings, be it in video games, tabletop RPGs, writing, etc. Either way I hope it's fun to watch. :) Thanks to Quinn Waterfield for making and modifying this custom bat'leth! waterfieldforge.com/sales Also check out Vaughn Morphett's metalwork, he makes great historical jewelry & accessories: etsy.com/ca/people/vaughnmorphett (Australia) waterfieldforge.com/vaughn-morphett-metalcraft (stocked in Canada) *** Music *** Intro song: "Illuminate" by Vindsvept vindsvept.bandcamp.com/track/illuminate Used with artist's permission Outtakes: "Little People At Work" by Horrorpen opengameart.org/content/little-people-at-work-loop Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license (CC BY 3.0) Outro: "Highland Storm" by The Slanted Room Records theslantedroom.github.io/steve.yee Used with artist's permission *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server patreon.com/skallagrim subscribestar.com/skallagrim youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Want to treat your face fluff?
