Making Swords from Blood: How Many People Would it Take?

Let's forge a sword from the blood of our enemies! People have iron in their blood, so instead of using it for transporting oxygen, lets form it into a sword! How many people would that take? Is it even possible to do? How far will you have to go to make this morbid dream a reality? Come find out!

Question : How to make a sword
Google : Just buy iron and melt it
Bing : So if you kill 375 men-

You can use the carbon from the people to turn the crude iron into steel! Make higher quality swords!

Thank you for the informative video. I’m still learning to be a blacksmith and i hope this video will be useful for future usage

Important note: nobody wants an iron sword. Go for steel, use human carbon with the human iron. Processing becomes harder, but the numbers needed are reduced. Plus you end up with a tougher sword that can tear the soul out of those struck by it.

"This sword is made out of blood"
"Oh that's a cursed sword?!"
"No it's literally made out of blood"

I love how this went from "Let's go with men for efficiency" to "1.9 baby swords per hour"

[AmariFukui]

I love how he takes a pause to discuss practicality before immediately leaping right back into the madness

Guy: "My blade has obtained the lives of 375 men!"
Other guy: "So what?"
Guy: "I haven't even fought anyone yet."

that sounds metal. that could be an origin story of a legendary sword in a semi fantasy setting

[Adeone]

"But couldn't people donate blood?"
"No."
"Why?"
"No."

Imagine you appearing in a funeral and saying, "I'm sorry for your loss but can I have the body to extract the iron, I have a sword buisness to run."

[shinchanthebest]

This gives a whole another meaning to:
*"My sword is forged with the blood of my enemies"*

[bodyblend]

Imagine how badass that'd be, "Ah Yes! My sword was forged using Damascus steel!", "Nice! Mine was made with the blood of my enemies."

"And now we get to one of the most important matters."
"The moral aspect?"
*P U R I F I C A T I O N*

I think of things like this sometimes. I stop myself, saying it's messed up and I'm being weird and no one else thinks like this. I'm happy to know other people also think about doing irregular things and think about the steps involved and different "realistic" routes you can go through to reach the goal.

“Hey bro, nice sword! Where’d you get it?”

“Uhh...”

[welwyrmientertainment]

"Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should."

Hold my hammer.

So glad this dude end up being a youtuber and not a psychopath

[thermonuclearwarhead]

I do love how I can wonder and then search a question like this and actually find a video on the topic.
