Welcome, I'm Iodo, and this channel is a bi-product of my life long hobby: Fantasy Reenactment, where I will try my hardest to bring to life the common aspects of a typical medieval fantasy world:
- Fantasy
- Archery
- Adventure
- Clothing
- Gear
- Skills
- And anything else...
I try to use real materials, learn real skills, take inspiration from history, and create something that functions in our world just as it would need to for a real life fantasy adventurer
The character I choose to portray most often is that of the Middle earth dwarf, Iodo Ionite. However I am not afraid of new things and the challenges they bring, so you might occasionally see me with other personas, so...
...on this channel, if you choose to, you can come along with me and maybe, you can learn as I do what it would really take to live as a character in a medieval fantasy world
Iodo,
At your service

Hi all,
Not you're usual update but the more folks who see this the better, but a lot of you know I am a knife and sword collector, and I know that a large number of you guys are too. It has come to my recent attention that the UK government are up to there usual tricks and are busy banning more random stuff even though it doesn't look like it will reduce crime statistics at all, I had to give up a load of stuff in 2019 and I'm not looking forward to a repeat of that.
For those of you who live in the UK, there is a government consultation open where you can write in and offer your opinions, as always please be sensible and constructive and watch Matt's video first so you know the details of what they are proposing, unfortunately you only have until the 6th June to respond to this
The link is in Matt's video description
Thanks for reading :)

Remember I mentioned Eric (from the YouTube channel Ichthean Forge) to thank him for inspiring me to make a knife for the Fantasy blades challenge by Tyrell Knifeworks, the video showing his finished blade is up and it's well worth a look if you like that sort of thing:

So why the engraving question?
My next project is in the works, A dwarven utility/bush-craft knife inspired by a viking seax. Maybe there will be a video on this at some point, but I made this for a competition with a deadline of October 13th (and I may yet not make it) so didn't have time to film the whole process, however I have Eric (Ichthean Forge: www.youtube.com/channel/UCDFP...) to thank for inspiring me to try this, please check out his channel, he has some awesome content :)
For now, here's some photo's of the metal work and the knife as it is right now in the clamp waiting for the resin to set, then hopefully tomorrow I can file the wood down to size and get some photo's submitted for the competition, wish me luck... [the blade blank was made as a favor from a local knife maker (www.ukcustomknives.co.uk/custom-knives-about-us/), he doesn't normally do knife blanks so I am lucky to have this, however I did make some small changes to it, and all the brass work is mine]

No context: Engraving or File work?

Just a quick update:
I reached 800 subscribers!!! Thank you all of you for supporting the channel :)
There's been a bit of a break in video's of late, because I had my summer holiday, and then all the "way too hot" weather we've been having has stopped me rendering video's because the PC starts to overheat, but hopefully I will have some new content up some time in the next week
