That's some world class engraving work right there. Good Lord Illia's a patient and methodical man.
They all do great work but damn, that engraving is something else.
Agreed agreed agreed. Wow.
Ilya's part elf and part dwarf, it's the only way
Yeah, Mimi, that about sums it up.
Got to be. His dwarf part has to come from Nidavellir. Eitri would be proud.
That Ilya guy is insanely talented
and he is the only one that uses the weapons properly XD
joe shmo nah I'm 14 and I can do better than him it's all about patience and precision
Lucas Beaumont no you can't, you child...
joe shmo he should be the king of Avalon
Rare is the occasion where he is not in an episode XP
All hail His Majesty, Ilya of Baltimore Knife & Sword, First of His Name, King of the Blacksmiths and the Engravers, Lord of the smithy, and Protector of the Shop.
here here
Dilly Dilly!
Hail Ilya! Lord of the engraving
L.J. Kommer here here
I shall raise my glass to such a amazing lord!
This entire video is basically just Ilya flexing on us
Fr
I think this is one of the most beautiful swords that has exited your workshop. Keep up the good work.
Exceptional work. Beautiful sword. I think the sword from King Arthur: Legend of the Sword was best rendition of Excalibur though.
Ilya is a phenomenal blacksmith.
Richard C M Slater all of them are 🙌
illya is a mastersmith
Ilya is COMPLETELY KAWAGANE
Kawagane: the medium hardness steel in Japanese swords?
That's an understatement lol
Any chance of getting a time-lapse of Ilya doing some engraving? It's really cool to see him start and then see it further along, but I would love to see the whole process.
That would be cool, indeed
Indeed, would be great to watch!
I second this. I also feel like Ilya is worth his weight in gold. Is there anything he can't do?
That. Is. Needed.
I would like too have stats about the time invested too, and maybe more in-dept about all his engraving tools. There's so many!!
Incredible work here, like always.
I was wondering about that too!
It's heartwarming to see that these skills won't be lost to time. It takes a real master to look at a flat piece of metal, a rack of small chisels, and a two-ounce hammer and say 'Yeah...I got this.'
Mad props on the uniform engraving work. That takes serious skill.
Damn i want to see how Ilya made his engraving tools and some basic lesson how to start. It would be so nice to make engravings into projects i make, to spice them up a bit, but i feel spending on ready made tool set is just waste of time and probably does not cut as well...
Nice job guys, props to Ilya on the engraving, props to Matt for the grinding. I don't think a majority of your fans realize quite how difficult blacksmithing is, I've been a blacksmith for about 4 years now and all I can say is props to you guys.
Same about being a blacksmith. These guys are just next level. It's quite nice to see how the pros do it.
I actually learned some of the techniques I used to make my first shield and helmet from watching these guys.
I've always wondered if it is possible for someone to learn how to make a sword just from watching Man At Arms: Reforged.
Same here. I would like to do something like this myself, but getting started with smithing seems really difficult, and since I'm in my graduation year, I doubt that I even have time to properly practice. :I
I've never even built popsicle-stick toys and I can tell that wasn't easy AT ALL. Anyone who'd think otherwise is probably a bit insane.
Barghest Blue it wouldn't be possible for someone who has not been trained, they don't explain all the details of the craft.
I've been a blacksmith for about 4 years now and I'm just making my first sword. I would suggest going to your local smith and just asking some questions, just don't be eager to start making swords right away.
That moment you realize that the reveal song had parts you've never heard before because no other sword has been as amazingly detailed as this one
Yeah I got all emotional at the reveal moment, that sword is gorgeous!
It took me off guard so much tbfh
Beautifull piece!
And so it is shown, Ilya is truly the God of the forge
Though you have to give some serious props to Matt, its difficult to imagine how nerve wracking it would be putting a grinding belt anywhere near those engravings
Hephaestus would like to know your location.
i just whitnessed engraving jesus do his thing. Stunning work
Engraving Jesus. Damn.
He looks the part
could someone make a list of what to call Ilya?
HA
Dog God Only one: Ilya Sensei, 10th Dan Master Swordsmith...
Damn, Ilya was a BEAST this episode. Not to take away from any of the rest of the team, but damn..
He’s the beast every episode
You can't make a sword intricately aesthetic without losing the swords integrity for fighting
Ilya: Give me my engraving tools
Ilya ia the best
my god Ilya is simply an artist, I hope you pay him a boatload!
indeed, hes quite the god in the workshop
airforce9872 whatever he's getting paid. I feel like he still needs a raise
I could watch him do his work without any cut just match it with some epic bgm and him explaining with his accent! wish they would upload that :D
airforce9872 I was thinking the same exactly thing
for real
Illia is by far the best blacksmith in the world. I would put him up against anyone with both knowledge and talent. He is the sole reason I can't get enough of this show. Pure genious.
I've always been such a big fan of Ilya's work. I must say he's not only a great craftsman, but, an amazing artist.
Ilya never ceases to amaze me. You're a legend man.
Indeed, that is the most intricate piece you've done yet. The care put into its making is fitting to a legendary weapon. I would imagine you'd quote a piece like that higher than almost anything else you've made on this show. I probably don't even have the money in savings to match the work you put into that weapon.
An other thing is that i think it has the longest showcase time in the end compared to any other work they have done.
+Martin A. Olesen And with damn good reason.
Sapheiorus agreed this is their most beautiful piece of work to date. I'd love to see Ilya do more engraving.
Plus that last guy cutting the fruit had great edge alignment
What I love is the fact that these are not showy replica's. What they create in their shop any ancient king would have gladly carried on their side! I'm always impressed when I see the craftsmanship and the attention to detail that each one of them put into each piece. Stunning isn't a strong enough word.
The engraving and the details of this sword is unbelievable
Ilya's one hell of an artist
Marc Polo yeah imagine how stable his hand is
I wholeheartedly agree, what I wouldn't give to be there in person watching any of the creation of any of there swords
That sword is gorgeous, omg. Extreme props to Ilya, that was a lot of engraving, masterfully done!
Out of everything you’ve made, I want this sword the most. So beautiful. This and dawnbreaker
This sword is immaculate and totally beautiful! Thank y’all for this amazing sword!
it's interesting to see the guys working, coz you can see they all have a specific role. Kerry is good at the smaller parts of the sword, such as pommels and cross guards, Matt is your guy for grinding and polishing, sometimes drawing out the blade, and Ilya is a jack of all trades and master of all of them. everyone in the shop can do a lot of stuff and they're very good at it, but Ilya is just next level
Ilya is a god in the forge istg. If I ever made a High Fantasy game, im gonna have a Russian character called Ilya who is the greatest blacksmith in the world who even the dwarves look up to, he's also gonna be an anime lover.
Yep I would play that game so I could meet and get a weapon from Ilya ☺️
@@nordicrose7243 It's official, the patron god of the forge in my D&D world is now named Ilya
@@kanpai44 Yay 😊😊
Jimin -sama he is actually a cosplayer
Jimin -sama I think you need to see a therapist
Wow. That thing is glorious. Ilya, are you sure you're not actually Hephaestus incarnated as a Russian? That engraving work was incredible.
You mean Vulcan 😉
@@SebvdBergh As a greek fan, I am guite angry to find a roman boi here.
@@alexcao2825 😂
You're all wrong. He's the Lady of the Lake.
Maybe he is one of Hephaestus' mortal descendants!!!!🤔
I think this, The Witcher swords and Altairs sword are the most beautiful pieces the guys have made so far. So much talent!
this is no more just a sword its a great peace of art
Flaschen Geist *piece
*It's more than just a sword :)
Fa771n9 he said "this is" not its
This is no more than a just a sword. This guy named art just achieved a great state of peace.
Am I getting you right?
Grammar check:
This is not only just a sword, it is a great piece of art.
this show is just Ilya doing the whole thing
BazookaAce I think grinding is quite hard but boring to watch so they just cut matts work out.
Yeah, Matt puts in a lot of effort for pretty much every blade they make.
Fittneskick803 that is true, i just revise. Ilya and Matt carry the team
probably more going on behind the scenes, also theyre a company, so chances are they have other projects running in parallel with this one.
Different people take charge on different projects. It does seem like Ilya and Matt are the driving force behind most of them, but other members of the team do the majority of the work on other projects some times.
respect for the engraver
mad skills
With all the replicas of Excalibur, all the variations in design I have seen, yours I believe best represents what Excalibur was. Your creation definitely has the magic and represents the pinnacle of the armourers skills. Each of you imbued magic with your skill and sealed it with your living breath and created something greater than the sum of the parts. That sword will always represent Excalibur to me. Well done gentleman, well done.
"I'm Matt. I'm Kerry. We are the Stagmer brothers of the Baltimore knife ans sword. Ilya's gonna be building some of your favorite weapons"
Hahahahahaha ^^
HAHAHAHAHA
After watching what Ilya did with Excalibur... what ever they pay him is NOT enough!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
😂😂😂😂😂😂thats true
I love this episode guys. Also, digging the new music.
I would go to a blacksmith school if Ilya taught.
NITESCIENTIST totally agree
NITESCIENTIST same
I'd invest for that school to be built. Only if I had the money.
Likewise
NITESCIENTIST same
I’ve watched every episode of Man at Arms multiple times. This sword has got to be the most beautiful piece you guys have ever done. Absolutely incredible work all around.
yall should do a MAN AT ARMS sword kinda like a freestyle.
Oh! Have each of them make a sword for themselves, that represents who they are, sorta thing?!
Awesome idea
AllMrPlatypus Platypus They really should. Im all for it!!
Personalized sword contest or something
AllMrPlatypus Platypus this would be awesome! that's a great idea
This truly is the most beautiful sword to have come out of that shop.
It's excalibur forged with a dragon's breath xD
Salute for Ilya. This is HIS masterpiece. Love to see him do the engraving.
If this is in the hands of your enemy on the battlefield, you dodge his swings not to survive, but to preserve this stunning piece of art!
this sword is just amazing!! i want it so bad
How much do you think it'd cost if it where to sell ?
Anthony Jaccard i dont know
Maybe 10000-20000!? But if it would be mine i wouldnt sell it! not even for 100000€
the materials aren't that expensive but the engraving work is. won't be that high but it would fetch a high price. If you want a comparison, a roman Gladio engraved and with gold details starts at 3.500€
You might want to check the prices on the Baltimore Knife and Sword website. It would be way more 3500
They have a pattern welded Fantasy Hungarian Yatagahn that sells for $2200 and it's detailing is so basic compared to Excalibur.
Matt's right, this is the best sword BKS has EVER made. I'd easily pay over $10000 for this sword. With a sword of Excalibur's quality, it's not the cost of the materials you need to worry about. It's the, more than likely, 100's of hours Ilya put into that engraving because that blade, it's fucking gorgeous!!
The sword blade to make itself is something these guys make relatively easily. However the cost of a master engraver's time.... i would estimate somewhere between $5000 - $8000 depending on engraving detail. Well worth it though. Probably their finest build to date.
Should change the name to Ilya and his assistants.
Ilya has got the patience of a monk
he sure does
Of a GOD
Their is a shirt or a chart of bread levels now there must be for a hair one.... his hair is that of a god... The God of the Blacksmith
you have to have that level of patience for this sort of work.
Sometimes I feel bad for Illya cause he has to do almost all of this by himself but he should be very proud of his accomplishments since according to Karry, he's almost completely self taught and he's an absolute master in his craft of both forging and engraving
this is probadly one of you guys best sword, such a sweet build :D
Holl crap! That's the mo beautiful peace of metal I've ever seen in this channel
Fun fact, the sword in the stone, and Excalibur are not the same sword, at least not in the original tellings of Arthurian legend. Excalibur was a gift to Arthur by Nimue, Lady of the Lake. She straight up had Arthur pick up the magic sword from out of the lake where she resided.
Correct. The sword in the stone actually has a different name than Excalibur. It was Caliburn, iirc.
Look, strange women lying about in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power should come from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Geoff Green BE QUIET!
Ilya I have so much respect for you having patients to forge and carve in this Excalibur project of yours
absolutely amazing. The team at Baltimore Knife and Sword has to be one of the world's top talents in their craft.
Troy Stuart I honestly don't see how any other swordsmith could have improved upon it.
Troy Stuart You don't earn the title of master smith by being a shmuck. if you think you can do better make one up. As a team they can hold their own against most shops out there.
Was sure I heard it somewhere. if not they still do amazing work and it's some of the best I've seen.
------The joke--->
(your head)
+Troy Stuart dude. to earn the title of master smith in america you need to make a pattern welded damascus knife which they've done multiple times.
This particular episode is "Ilya and his assistants make Excalibur" :P
Lord Baktor and the previous Ekusukariba was like that to
Lord Baktor It's always like that Man 😂
Of course of course !
Lord Baktor I agree
They are all extremely talented craftsmen; however, Ilya is a goddamn master.
Throughout this whole build I couldn't help but think. FOOL, My legend began in the 12th century
FOOOOOOL!!!
Ilya consistently has the best shirts.
Please make Corvo's sword from dishonored
yeah!
YES!!!
Shaunak Deshpande up you go
we are asking for it for 4 years now. with NO result.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
that's one pommel i would cry tears if i'd have to throw
You've made my day, good sir! But you need to throw the pommel if you want to end him rightly!
Scrolled waaay too far for this.
dude, you would be most lit executioner around if you got that pommel!
To be honest...
If you wield Excaliber you are the one who decides what counts as ending someone rightly.
But, then again, no one would expect you to use that trick with a sword like that...
ayy, skallmemes
If you guys uploaded an hour long video of Ilya just carving metal I'd probably watch the whole thing multiple times. That was astounding.
Still one of the most if not the most beautiful swords I have ever seen in my life.
Himura Kenshin (Battousai)'s Reverse blade sword!
That would be interesting to see them make
DapperDragon I agree
yes pls
this one please!!
can you make the Himura Kenshin Reverse blade.
Illia is literaly a god
maxthecheese cheeseboy Haephestus incarnate
I was thinking the exact same thing. I think they should have a episode where he can make is own sword with his own design. However he wants it to look.
They crazy thing about Ilya though is he is completely self taught when it comes to his engraving skills
Who does the video production?
I swear I've been wondering for years now.
And this, is probably one of the best episodes ever
Indeed
I was wondering the same! The editor did a great job with the close ups of the engravings at the end.
***** what really? I had no idea. thanks
+KirbyGoezPink Erik Burke does the editing
Probably my favorite episode. The sword has an amazing design, and is just flat out beautiful.
Perfect for King Arthur. :)
Ilya is a brilliant artist.
Can't get over Ilya's engraving on this sword. Jeez.
Does anyone else agree with me that we would love to see longer editions of these videos? I would 100% totally watch a 6 part two-hour series on the making and assemble of this sword alone.
This Excalibur us such an amazing build that I keep coming back to watch it every few months, just love it :)
How many times do you think that tiny hammer was hit? I reckon at least 12.
12 THOUSAND
Well, you aren't wrong. It was at least 12
Did you see how much work that was?! It was at LEAST 23 times!!!
3
You mean Ilya?
This is my favorite build on a sword! The craftsmanship, care, and detail is mind blowing. Truly a work of art!
IKR! This sword flat out IS Excalibur in my mind.
Illya is such a Master! I really hope he is very well paid :D
What a wonderful display of Ilya's skills, not only as a smith but also his artistic ability as a designer and engraver - thenk you!
he just made the sword this channel might not able to surpass for a quiet while
And there's no better sword than Excalibur to do that for
iRapplexD they just surpassed it with Optimus primes sword
Bethel Vingthor I don't think they did necessarily. I mean it has a LOT more parts and was obviously way more difficult to assemble, but in terms of how awesome it looks and skill involved I still think this wins. Now obviously I'm not saying Optimus Prime's sword didn't require skill, clearly it was extremely difficult to make. But the sheer amount of detail in the engravings on this blade astonish me to a point where I still don't think they've surpassed it quite yet.
Make brisingr from Eragon
or even Zar'Roc
Dude, I just posted this cause I started re reading the books and am glad to see someone else wanting it. Really hope they do both Brisingr and Zar'Roc.
Even Oromis' sword, Naegling would be dope.
Man I haven't read these books since I was a teenager, totally going to revisit them. 4th book wasn't even out when I last read them.
Its cool other people read the Inheritance series some of my favourite books
But technically they're all from a book. In that case, they don't have any kind of official art or something like that, right? O.o
Absolutely the best Excalibur design I've ever seen, including purely digital ones.
I've been really hooked on forging videos ever since I saw a demascus knife. This is by far one of the most amazing and beautifully detailed knives I've ever seen. Ilya is a literal God when it comes to forging and his engraving
I love how the normal comments for these videos are people making requests, but they're all about how awesome the sword is in this one
Yeah because this was the best sword they ever made
by far although i would have liked it if they had made the handle (is that the word you use in english for the part of the sword where you hold it?) out of leather instead of just wood
Ilya did so much beautiful work, he is insanley talented! All the other is also awsome!
This is a breathtakingly beautiful sword, beautiful details and god level engraving...hands down one of the most stunning swords I've ever seen and it made me kinda emotional at the end when the sword came together, wow!
I watch these videos with pure amazement Ilya absolutely stood out with his engraving skill...and the rest of the crews talent shines also..
To the entire BKS family...your are an inspiration to a generations
Ilya, I just want you to know that if ever I get the chance, I want to apprentice under you.
Yes beat me master
Unquestionably the greatest piece they have ever made. Well done, guys.
Wow that engraving was intense! Ilya did a damn fine job!
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship! Excalibur is indeed your finest sword!
I really enjoy the extended showcases of your amazing work. We want to see the final product!
Skana prime from Warframe its so cool
Halit Yildirim Really anything from Warframe would be awesome tbh.
DrLemonbuster Yeah ty for the comment :),i really want them to do it.
Halit Yildirim and the prisma skana?
Ferruccio Crisanti Well there are many sexy melees in warframe :)
Halit Yildirim or scindo prime or war would be supes cool
anyone else notice that Excalibur cut smoother and finer than any other blade forged by this channel to this day?.... Or is it just me. I understand if its just me...But is it?
Because its a request from the company making the game so they probably paid well and want a sword very well taken care of
it's not just you...
The blade is very sharp. But the guy who uses the Excalibur agains that fruit is the best swordsman between then. Point is, is not just the sharpness but also the skill to hit a zero flat hit agains the object.
Asuna's rapier was pretty sharp most of the time they chop a bottle and it goes flying with the rapier it actually chopped in half
it's the steel and how they forged it. while being of low carbon, 1045 steel can still be made into a great cutting steel if forged by a skilled blacksmith.
The level of craftsmanship that goes into every project is absolutely amazing. By far my favorite channel
"And many men say that there is written upon his tomb this verse: Hic iacet Arthurus, rex quondam rexque futurus [Here lies Arthur, the once and future king]."
-Thomas Malory
Oh wow that is an awesome sword and Ilya your hair is gorgeous!!!
Wow!
This was a master class in engraving, mad respect for Ilya!
Michael Coulter
Totally off topic ...
That be a Toyger from Too Cute ... one of my favourite cat videos ... and channels on YT ...
nigelft
LOL!!!
Nobody has recognized my avatar before, well done, Sir!
I love that video, I've watched it dozens of times!
I chose Sparky, he's just too fricking cute!
all that engraving!! words can't describe that workmanship, true artistry!!! ilya just keeps wowing me!
Ilya Alekseyev is so amazing, a true master !
Also... Definitely the best piece of work I've ever seen from you! Well done!
Definitely the best sword they've made
The amount of work, dedication, and love were AWESOME!!!
This episode put water on my eyes!! REALLY AWESOME, awesome!!!
Ilya, Matt, and Kerry I believe that all the Glory of Merlin is present with you all!
That The Great Architect of the Universe blesses you all!!!
From a Brazilian fan, THANK YOU VERY, VERY, MUCH!!!
Damn what can Ilya not do
I know right? He's so amazing! They're all are!
Was thinking this myself. Dude has a wide spectrum of talents and I love it!
Надпись на футболке - "профессиональный русский"))
dab
Singin' maybe ;-)
absolutely beautiful work :D
and i couldn't help but think "it belongs in a MUSEUM!" :D
This has got to be your most elegant and beautiful sword to date.
When they revealed the sword at the end I got chills. Such a beautiful sword.
One of Ilya's finest works, this was stunning.
Do we even know if Ilya is human? I mean, he's insane! It seems like he's a master at everything he does!
That's a LOT of detail....
i think this is the most detailed sword they make....hands up from me...how hardwork u put it in ...great job sir..all of u guys...great great...
