Type 18 Long sword and scabbard by Tod of Tods Workshop

This video shows a type 18 longsword and scabbard made by Tod of Tods workshop and talks a little about the piece, dimensions weights and details that make up a quality reproduction sword. Sorry about the sound quality - I will get this sorted

    I would love to see a video on how you do some of these things. How do you cast your fittings? How did you do the pommel with the twisted cord file work? I know that workshop filming during a project can be a mental drain and consequently quite dangerous, but even just some snapshots of different steps with overlay commentary would be spectacular. Still, I'm grateful for everything you do show us. Just spectacular.

    I go back and forth between this and the A479 as my favorite pieces you’ve produced. I think I’d probably like this one from a practical standpoint, with the longer hilt... but I think the A479 edges it out in looks. The scabbard, including the “rough” back, is stunning. It gives it more character than if it were blemish-free and polished. But also, I really want to know where that hoodie came from.

    So what's the thinking behind tang buttons? I come across them semi-regularly, but don't know how common they were as opposed to riveting directly onto the pommel. I guess they're a later thing. Are they for making up the difference between the standard dimensions in the stock of blade makers and cutlers?

    I know this was popular in England. But it was also popular in other places. Like you mentioned, Germans liked it too. So why do I keep finding stuff calling this style an "English Longsword" Are there even any distinctly English features when it comes to longswords? All I know is that Bastard Swords were popular.
