I learned you need a rounded transition, radius at blade/tang juncture from Mark Morrow, swordsmith.
It's interesting that iron / mild steel tangs were welded on because many years ago I made some Anglo Saxon pattern welded blades and I forge welded on a mild steel tang to get a little more strength in the tang. Good video, I learned quite a bit from it. Thank you.
Back in the day, good quality steel was more expensive (relatively) than today and labor cheaper. They probably forged to shape more and grind away less material.
this is why jet aeroplanes have round windows…they used to be square…and just as with the square shouldered tangs…this caused catastrophic failure in the air frame
Just copy a file.
Looking to get into Hema or Arma eventually, but until then, I'm just a nerd who's experimenting with medieval fantasy ideas. I found this rather enlightening because the main character of one of my stories has a sword that is shown being reforged. Very much appreciate the information here. =3
If you do "fix" the problem with the too sharp shoulder, I'd suggest looking at doing an undercut, rather than move the whole shoulder. Basically extend the line of the tang into the shoulder and curve up. Imagine cutting a half circle on the shoulder so that it is tangent to the tang. So you don't lose any of the blade, and you get your stress relief.

I like how he is always holding some nice steel into the camera.
Sooo, look out for your local forge.

6:50 there is another option of giving more strength to this part you are talking about. Don’t cut the angels out on the same level. That gives you a bigger cross section without the use of more material. And if u normalize the „cuts“ in relation to the more ore lesss „diagonal“…. Sorry I am no native speaker, but the trick is the same with tank armour, just angle it. Make a small drawin and you will see, … add some vectors for the possible forces …
Someone needs to create a database of what’s good and what’s crap.
Internal square corners are some of the weakest areas on many metal products.

What you said in this video about tangs and the rat tang that connects to a wider blade is also one of my problems with sword makers

SPiral Tang ^ ?
I build a few swords and I never had a sharp angle because I always used a full Tang never such an angled and pointed Tang to put a hilt on . I always wanted as much support under it as possible.

One of the earliest passenger jets had square windows, the stress fractures at these points are why all passenger jets now have rounded windows.
Why not make swords full tang? forgive me if the question is stupid, I really am just that stupid.
What tools did they have to cut threads 300+ years ago? That's what I'd want to know when it comes to wrought iron scarf welds on tangs. It makes the most sense to me that scarf welding an iron tang was a manufacturing decision because of the tools at the time. If files cost a fortune, or it took forever to chisel threads, and you ruin them every 2 swords, it would make way more sense to keep as much of that work on wrought iron as possible.
