@donatoclan3222 7 лет назад

+Nelson iCies i never thought about that. anyway another episode I like is the "kill bill" build, a katana for that movie, the great things about this episode is that they always have an expert enlisted in their team to monitor the build which makes it more authentic unlike the fantasy built that they almost pre manufacture every piece and glue them together then call it a weapon.

@DavidAkhter 7 лет назад

Agreed

@nelsonicies4800 7 лет назад

Nomeno Djinova well some fantasy builds are as good... still lots of forging and authentic blacksmiths skills involved like the Kill a Kill episode... but i agree that some episode they cheated using the plasma cutter... honestly, this team take these builds much seriously than the previous group...

@alexandergatos2159 4 года назад

I can only watch in awe the craftsmanship of it all since I'm not a blacksmith. I am, however, a historian, not of the period, but I know enough to concur to Ilya's knowledge. It is no wonder this guy is a master craftsman, it's only about the talent, it's the inexorable motivation to delve into the historical details of his trade, to experiment with past techniques, visualise the processes and outcomes from blacksmiths of previous eras and integrate them to his own. Absolute respect!

@toothpickcity2 7 лет назад

Make a flintlock musket/pistols, just to show how most pre 1800s firearms were handmade by blacksmiths. You could do a damascus steel barrel. Or if you are up for a real challenge, make a wheel lock.

@simonknoll6999 7 лет назад

Should make a legit thor hammer, not like from the marvel movies But one from the sagas

@nikhilsinha7730 5 лет назад

It would be a small hammer

@DreamPen 5 лет назад

But far easier to wield and far more effective. A small hammer with a small striking head or point is what allows it to dent or punch through armor. The bigger hammers of pop culture- comic books, cartoons, fantasy fiction, etc.- have too much surface, diffusing force all over instead of into a point.

@superdj7719 5 лет назад

Bro ilya would have a new forging hammer/weapon

@Sacremas 5 лет назад

In a lot of ways the comic version of Mjolnir would actually be easier to wield than the saga one. According to the saga, when the dwarves were forging Mjolnir, Loki shapeshifted into a big black fly and bit the smith in the eyelid at a crucial moment, causing the forging to fail and the haft to break off, leaving it with an oversized head for it's short (sword handle sized or slightly bigger) haft, relying largely on Thor's godly strength more than a regular warhammer would need to.

@Biden_is_demented 6 лет назад

Funny part is that inlaying the Ulfbert word is actually weakening the blade on that spot, even if ever so slightly. A chemical etch would be much better, structurely speaking. The molecular bond between both metals is never 100%, and is widely known that any square angles are points of potential stress fractures. It takes only a microscopic flaw in the forge weld to begin building up that fracture to the point of failure. No matter how skilled the bladesmith is, that sword is always potentialy weakened, in exchange for such questionable low aesthetic value. Even more so back then, when the forge welds were more an art, and hard to duplicate. In trying to make their blades´ quality stand out, the original viking smiths actually introduced a weakness to their work. It is the modern equivalent to building a smartphone in a gold frame. Allthough visually appealing and valuable, a gold frame will never compete against the rigidity of its cheaper aluminium cousin. Therefore the Ulfbert swords were, at least in my humble opinion, more of a fashion and social statement, instead of a battle proven tool of warfare. Like the iPhone, really. Technologically much inferior to Android, but vastly more expensive, because of its added value as "jewelry", and its perceived social standing.

@TheRandomLurker 7 лет назад

Functional Chainsword from 40k would be great as-is, no need to be fancy with how they make it. Besides, 40k doesn't do high tech unless the weapon is futuristic, in which case it can't be replicated. Remember most technology in 40k is some sort of cult ritual with mchine spirit appeasement and other weird things, rather than special processes.

@havtor007 6 лет назад

The problem is that silicone or balistic gel is not realistic to how much damage it does to a real human being. Also also depending on where on the body you hit the harder or easier it is to see the real damage. The zombie head they show here is about 70-90% depending on who made it like a real human head btw so you can kinda see what it would do to a human head but also not really.

@Anino_Makata 6 лет назад

Dummies are not cheap, especially for one time use and they make a ton of videos. Same applies to dead animals as well as PETA would jump all up in there ass about it.

I've seen $250-$300 cheap-ass swords that are capable of stabbing through the door of a fridge and slashing in half the entire carcass of a pig effortlessly, I'd say pretty much every sword made out of modern steel that costs +$200 it's capable of inflicting lethal wounds to anyone who isn't wearing armor.

Bravo! My favorite build so far! You are all fantastic Craftsmen and woman.

@Klomster88 7 лет назад

Flamberge blade. Preferably a zweihander, but the rapier would be cool as well. Also, a late saber with a half blued blade would be cool as well.

@mylifeisacomplexpastiche7901 7 лет назад

Look up their Soul Reaver build

@thevdevitor 7 лет назад

ZWEIHANDER!!!!!!!!

@RaySpartan315 7 лет назад

Klomster idk what swords those are but they sure sound cool.

@Klomster88 7 лет назад

Trey Pehl Yeh, it's cool and all. But it would be cool to see the zweihander made from scratch. Or the flamberge rapier, those are actually wicked cool.

@codyweed5291 7 лет назад

zweihander is a massive two handed sword that took true skill to wield in battle.

@PsyCronox 7 лет назад

Indeed. Historical builds like these are awesome. love the backstory

@mconcepcion752 5 лет назад

Absolutely magnificent. Truly you people are masters of your crafts.

@gordondeitz7838 Год назад

Great episode guys! In depth intel. Of your presentation is smack on!

@shadyphoenix3148 7 лет назад

Just one word to describe this Video : AWESOME!

@aleramone23 7 лет назад

KIDS: Stop asking for cartoon swords and ask for historic swords like this one.

@ilyaalekseyev2102 7 лет назад

I like Anime swords.

@jamesjr6528 7 лет назад

Great quality production brothers at arms! Craftmanship and production top notch!

@muyhiram 5 лет назад

I keep coming back to this video every week or so.

@roadhandviking2741 6 лет назад

All you fellows are true artisans and craftsmen, it show more with every episode I watch. Love to see you guys make the warhammer from resident evil extinction

@tobyshane7685 7 лет назад

I would love to see you guys design and forge your own concept. No movies no games no history weapons your own design.

@dsaasd6162 6 лет назад

They can't! They're Blacksmiths not designers dude!

@janevyjem8037 6 лет назад

that does not mean they have no fantasy

@leonmuise 3 года назад

this is by far my favorite episode. sometime you guys talk a little faster, so some details get missed. but the way you went above and beyond not only in the traditional making of one my ancestors favorite sword. you also went above and beyond with the detail of how it was made traditionally and the explanations. this is fabulous. great work guys. all of your stuff really impresses me, but this takes the cake. since last summer i been saving up for a authentic viking sword. now i have even more ambition to do so.

@DebiB53 5 лет назад

WOW!! Beautiful craftmanship!!!

@gurindan 7 лет назад

Kenpachi Zaraki sword, pls .

@ray-jt2pu 7 лет назад

Lolka Nikiforovna yes !

@rallaa 7 лет назад

That's a good idea actually. It would be interesting to see how they go about it. Like making it new and then purposely wearing out the edge.

@darthraven1054 7 лет назад

yes please

@peatear42 7 лет назад

THIS!!!! 🙌

@theodorevanderaa993 7 лет назад

I agree

@thegatorator4984 7 лет назад

Maybe do a zweihander!

@miesling7304 7 лет назад

THE zweihander from Dark Souls would be awesome

@sanguineregis5354 7 лет назад

A Zweihander in general would be awesome.

@censorduck 7 лет назад

@iwatchtoomuchyt3070 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely stunning piece as always

@nicksshitbro 7 месяцев назад

Here i am, living in baltimore my whole life, wishing i could make swords and knives, and i could have just found these guys and begged to be an apprentice. Dammit. Now i just have to start my own forge.

@K1ll3rW0mbat 7 лет назад

I would like to see you make an Egyptian Khopesh please, bronze if you can handle it.

@GrahamCStrouse 7 лет назад

K1ll3rW0mbat That would be pretty damn cool.

@trendduos7679 7 лет назад

Would be cool

@lvcsslacker 7 лет назад

oh gods yes!

@zahktuthalxalyrion6364 7 лет назад

Haven't they made a weapon similar to the Egyptian Khopesh?

@gepetoton 7 лет назад

A build from League of Legends, is based on a Khopesh. Luna's blade I guess.

@Kronnification 7 лет назад

Raze-Lighter, Dark Drinker, Bolt Caster from Destiny... any of the 3

@Marcus-zp7nl 7 лет назад

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

@fmabrotherhoodx5007 7 лет назад

Frosty-Popcicle oh hell ya

@rodrigotellez2962 7 лет назад

even Young Wolf's Howl... though my personal favorite would be Dark Drinker (love the design)

@collyqually6486 7 лет назад

I'd suggest young wolf's howl from Rise of Iron but I feel the sword is a bit too plain.

@vishpatel45 7 лет назад

Why not the iron battle axe

@Phantomsbreath 3 года назад

DUDE! You freaking BUILT IT!!! This is easily the best damn thing I've ever seen. The Cadillac of Viking swords

@Phantomsbreath 3 года назад

Also, re the relative lack of ornamentation? The sagas tell that such a sword was considered to be beautiful beyond gold, just by the virtue of being what it is. Thus, it didn't need anything else to be considered a work of art.

@Barstid 5 лет назад

I have blacksmiths on both sides of my family. I never took it up (carer military) but it fascinates me. If I see a smith at a renaissance fair or something I am drawn like a moth to a flame and I can stand there and watch for hours. I binge watch Man At Arms episodes, too. I'm glad that Ilya was one immigrant that got into the USA.

@lordchapelseed791 7 лет назад

the Rose Quartz sword and shield will be a formidable challenge.

@100blueeyedboy 7 лет назад

I know they've done some colouring before but never bright pink. I'd assume some kind of paint unless they wanted to get real fancy

@100blueeyedboy 7 лет назад

***** probably. I'd put money on Ilya being able to figure it out

@TheDarkalkymist 7 лет назад

automotive paint, works wonderfully, they did the scissor blade and made it candy red

@MrSplattman 7 лет назад

Zar'roc or Brisingr from the book series of Eragon

@StrawberryBoreeJam 7 лет назад

Brisingr defiantly.

@MrSplattman 7 лет назад

Yes, would be so awesome

@rekka6277 7 лет назад

uuuu yes, Brisingr!!!

@liverpooland1995 7 лет назад

@MrJesus666 7 лет назад

ICE - Sword of Eddard Stark!

@MrJesus666 7 лет назад

You could then melt it down into Oathkeeper and Widowswail

@c3diy 7 лет назад

Tho: if valyrian steel is made with tempered steel AND dragonfire (obsidian?) melting it would ruin the material... And also melting it open like in the show would saturate the steel and make it shitty and finally third: steel isnt orange in liquid form, it's bright white/yellow

@maybecolby 7 лет назад

JessBooty that would be really cool if they made ice then made Oathkeeper an Widowswaile from it but you couldn't melt it down like on the show

@jonny5723 7 лет назад

That is what I'm saying! :D Please make Ice! (of atleast some other medival greatsword)

@MrJesus666 7 лет назад

Well they could do what they did when they made narsil and anduril. Break it into fragments and forge it that way? Either way. Just make Ice damnit haha I've been commenting for them to make Ice since they made Jamie Lannisters sword!

@SoleR7 7 лет назад

wow... this episide was awesome!

@bryantfox9689 5 лет назад

I was honestly just researching how to turn my bog ore into workable metal and you guys helped me with another piece of the puzzle. I want to make blades that only use materials gathered around my home in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. I have plenty of railroad steel and iron from the old narrow-gauge railway bed that I've been travelling on since I was a child. It's also littered with favorite, which I've heard can be a pain to work. I also have a sizeable bog on my land with so much ferrobacteria that we had to drill a new well because the iron oxide sludge had plugged up the pipes completely. I plan to crush and sort the sediment with a magnet. I'm already familiar with how to make charcoal and how to build a proper historical forge to do everything, I'm just now learning about how to work metal. You guys have inspired me to go back to the ways of my ancestors and really make something I can be proud of!

@SirRagnildius 5 лет назад

What did you do last week? Me: watched Netflix. Man at arms: we made a historical Viking sword laced with gold and silver, also it’s made of a super steel that is probably never going to break. Me: ...😶

@deadmeatdec2164 5 лет назад

Right! I am with ya

@SL4US 4 года назад

I just regular old crucible steel

@cirinosaldana9106 4 года назад

Steel that is considered valerian steel. And yes it will never break.

@BeatAssDude 7 лет назад

This is truly awesome, I recommend them to build this but they didn't put my name in the video, but I'm glad they finally did it

@samikuosmanen729 7 лет назад

Well done Sir BeatAssDude! May Ye fest with Odin tonight in valhalla, or atleast be very proud of Ye`r accomplishment today. And what I like to know is an viking axe already been made by these peculiars blacksmith´s or not?

@michaelcaldwell2345 7 лет назад

i think they have made a viking axe

@samikuosmanen729 7 лет назад

I Thank Ye Sir, for that specific information.

@GregTom2 7 лет назад

Hello I'm Matt, and I'm Carry. And today I will build a brick furnace and strike a hammer unto Ilya's chisel while he decidles everything else that we do and tells you about the history of metallurgy and also puts in most of the man hours. Hehe, don't you think it's time you add his name to the intro?

@michaelcoulter1114 6 лет назад

GregTom2 Agreed! I like all of these craftsmen, but Ilya is the Rockstar, no doubt about it!

@YayaFeiLong 6 лет назад

I think Matt and Kerry are the actual "hosts" of the show (they do the most talking/narration and everything) which is why they are always introduced by name at the beginning of each episode.
