Alec takes on an enormous Viking sword, one of the most ambitious builds of his career. To achieve this, he tests a wide range of new skills and implements.
Alec creates a stylish and deadly cane sword, a concealed blade hidden within a walking stick. This 18th century design has features he's never worked with before, such as a handy locking mechanism.
Alec takes on two fearsome weapons: a brutal naval boarding axe and a humongous Grim Reaper Scythe. Both share a particularly risky forging technique.
Alec sets out to make one of the largest weapons he's ever attempted, namely a fear-inducing 8-foot Halberd.
