[VIDEO] How to Make an Aztec Sword

Maquahuitl

Making a Macuahuitl, or also known as an Aztec Sword, is part woodworking project and part work of art.

Even more impressive is the only electrical tool this guy uses is a jigsaw – everything else gets completed by hand tools!

 

 

Making a Maquahuitl from scratch is quite the feat; even more impressive is the degree to which this guy uses hand tools with very little assistance by electric tools.

While the practical application of a weapon like this is limited, the end product is truly a work of art!

    Sweet, do I’ll go buy some hand tools, some twine, head to lowes for a piece of wood that’s been seasoned, then it’s off to the rock n gem show for some obsidian, got to wal mart n buy some glue… bam… ultimate survival implement.
