I doubt they ran out of material, I'm sure it's just for budget reasons. They're selling the sword from this video for $2k, even though you could probably find a better one for about half of that. They're not a multi-million dollar company, they need to make money to keep making these videos, so making another one could be a bad idea. I'm just rambling now, but in short, Will has no experience with making a sword like this, so if he were to try again it could end up being another failure.

Edit to front-load this with: Happy belated birthday, Will! Hope you had a good one. It's unfortunate that the hook-swords didn't work out, Will, but I'm glad you were able to pull something out of the project. Not only that, but I'm very impressed with your willingness to forge ahead and hammer out the issues without losing your temper. ... I actually didn't mean for that many puns to come out all at once, but I saw what I was typing and just decided to commit to it. Reckoned you'd appreciate it anyhow, if you end up seeing this.

Humor is about leveraging suffering. Observational jokes leverage the mutual suffering of the one telling the joke and the one hearing the joke. Self deprecation jokes leverage the suffering of the one telling the joke. Puns, however, are unique in that they leverage the suffering that they are about to cause to the one hearing the joke.

I just found this video and I love hook swords and have been waiting for a good video of the making of these weapons as they require great skill and craftsmanship to produce. The fact that you made it as far as you did still is amazing to me because I have come to understand the great effort and skill ones need to fashion and forge the steel of a hook sword. I was shocked when I heard and seen your project snap, I must say it was hard to watch and I could only imagine your distain when that happened. All and all great attempt and well done, the fact that your project was compromised yet you still kept motivated and persistent to produce a fine result is excellent. I must say your video was inspiring and very well put together. Props to your finished product and thank you for taking the time and effort to present this video. I liked and will subscribe to your channel as I think you deserve support as you have a great gift and skill and should share that with others. Keep up the great work!! Cheers from Canada!! P.S happy belated Birthday I know it’s very late but just wanted to send my regards.

Jian refers to a sword with an edge on both sides of the blade; a dao is for single edged blades. For a straight translation without context jian=sword and dao=knife but we see that a lot in history; for example, messer in German means knife, but we also see single edged swords with the same title. The way to distinguish sub classes of dao/jian/messer is by what leads the word(yanmaDAO, liuyeDAO, kriegsMESSER).

Beautiful and simple craftsmanship. I love the was the sword turned out!

Kudos on the editing! You take the most tedious, mind-numbing work of the entire project and make it look like the opening of Twin Peaks!

The funny thing is, you can’t insert just after that punchline

That's a super interesting modern take on the jian; the utilitarian guard and grip, basic color scheme, monosteel blade are all very sleek and modern, but as with any sword, all that really matters is the blade, and it seems like this one cuts like a beast! Definitely a moment of pride to have your touchmark on there all by itself, I hope you felt it too!

Compared to some of the more complex pieces you and Alec have produced, I love the simplicity of that sword. It's gorgeous, just the right amount of different things going on, absolutely amazing will, and happy birthday. I just wish I had the money to buy that kinda thing.

When you realize you are hella early even without notifications

Wait, your telling me those dental hygiene brushes are actually ment for steel??? *well that explains a lot...*

I really enjoy Will's videos. I love Alec, and I love the two of them together. But I really appreciate Will as a stand-alone personality as well. I've thoroughly enjoyed this channel ever since I've found it, but even more so since Alec has been in the U.S. and working with Will.

Will is such an awesome element of this channels progress of awesome content and I hope someone buys that sword and gives it to Will for his bday, wish I could. Keep up the great work gentlemen and thanks.

The middle eastern music was cool will. Very nice build. Thanks for keeping the blade making alive here.

Simple things done well are beautiful, the finished product looks fantastic.

Congrats on your first solo sword. It looks great! And, happy birthday, Will!

Will made a beautiful job of the Jian, watching them cut with it showed the balance and design off really well. I have been training with a Jian for about ten years, it is said in China the Jian is a gentleman's weapon and to learn it thoroughly takes ten thousand hours. I still have a bit to learn.

This a really cool episode. I am very success-dependent in my projects and I can feel all the pain in this video. Huge thanks to Will for not stopping and turning a fail into a victory.

Congratulations on your birthday and your first solo sword! My condolences for the difficulties that got you here. Things happen... I think a proper san-mei jian build would be one of the coolest tests of both your skills. Please consider making one.

Happy birthday, Will. You are a fantastic craftsman and a cool guy. Nice work on the project.

That is a super beautiful sword, traditional blade but modern style on the details, very well done dude and a belated happy birthday man 🤘

Welcome back Will. Happy Birthday. You’ve been missed. And such a fantastically edited episode and a beautiful piece.

The look on Will's face when the blade snapped in the vice was just priceless. I felt bad for him, but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. I'm probably a bad person, I know.

Thats a great simple elegant design! Love it! Nice recovery!!

Gorgeous blade Will, way to persevere through ALL THE HICCUPS along the way!

Congrats on completing your first solitary sword project, Will. Although, I hope the hook swords come back as a future project, they looked brutal.

Brilliant video shots. I especially liked the close up of the sand paper starting

That was a brilliant result, that handle is magnificent.. never seen that technique before, but I love it.

Will, this Jian is beautiful and a great way to salvage the project. Also happy late birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL! Damn, 21 years old...you have no idea how lucky you are.

Great job pushing through the heartbreak Will, you ended up with a gorgeous piece. Love the textures and dark look of the fittings 😁

Absolutely love the sound track added to this one guys. Your editors are doing great! !m!

I hope you guys hang onto the broken blades and auction them off some day. Cool workshop memories that I'm sure people would love to hang on to. Much love will sorry for your loss. Basically every day I would wake up and go, "I wonder what's happening with the book sword?" End product looks awesome, keep on keeping on

It's so amazing to see such a huge sponsor backing the boys for this video!

It is good to see you making your handle from a single piece. I see a lot of these other forgers using the two piece handle. So they have to glue it together. The one single piece handle looks so much better with out the seam line. If you are not covering it, plus it takes less time and you do not have to use glue.

Jians are my ABSOLUTE favourite swords :)) super stoked to see

Will, your perseverance paid off.....love the stipple on the handle....I’m going to try that next, thanks...😎

Happy belated birthday, Sir William! What better gift than pride in the final product of your own hard work?
