    This entire video is basically just Ilya flexing on us

  • @Comicsluvr
    @Comicsluvr ปีที่แล้ว +29

    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.'

  • @bazookaace
    @bazookaace 7 ปีที่แล้ว +771

    this show is just Ilya doing the whole thing

    • @Fittneskick803
      @Fittneskick803 7 ปีที่แล้ว +97

      BazookaAce I think grinding is quite hard but boring to watch so they just cut matts work out.

    • @Sainty-0
      @Sainty-0 7 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      Yeah, Matt puts in a lot of effort for pretty much every blade they make.

    • @bazookaace
      @bazookaace 7 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Fittneskick803 that is true, i just revise. Ilya and Matt carry the team

    • @josh29221
      @josh29221 7 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      probably more going on behind the scenes, also theyre a company, so chances are they have other projects running in parallel with this one.

    • @JacStance
      @JacStance 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      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.

  • @peridoodle2644
    @peridoodle2644 7 ปีที่แล้ว +330

    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

    • @black990ops
      @black990ops 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Yeah I got all emotional at the reveal moment, that sword is gorgeous!

    • @dantesabbath2107

      Beautifull piece!

  • @Payne3991
    @Payne3991 5 ปีที่แล้ว +174

    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

    @Lucky_2847 6 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    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.

  • @Goblin_Mom
    @Goblin_Mom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +414

    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.

    • @nocaster89

      That would be cool, indeed

    • @jamesruzicho735

    • @Tardisntimbits

      I second this. I also feel like Ilya is worth his weight in gold. Is there anything he can't do?

    • @maximoozer
      @maximoozer 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

    • @Luckeux

    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.

  • @cwparker253
    @cwparker253 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    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.

  • @SurotaOnishi
    @SurotaOnishi 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    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

  • @prices4182
    @prices4182 7 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    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.

    • @lukejoyce1107
      @lukejoyce1107 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

    • @barghestblue731
      @barghestblue731 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've always wondered if it is possible for someone to learn how to make a sword just from watching Man At Arms: Reforged.

    • @sinfuriated6899
      @sinfuriated6899 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    • @pedroscoponi4905
      @pedroscoponi4905 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @prices4182
      @prices4182 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @eiebsrebla
      @eiebsrebla 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

  • @WilliamMerzlak
    @WilliamMerzlak 7 ปีที่แล้ว +112

    • @Hellsong89
      @Hellsong89 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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...

  • @randomman818

  • @mikedooly7288
    @mikedooly7288 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @Kishuy
      @Kishuy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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€

    • @CrusadeGamingTBO
      @CrusadeGamingTBO 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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!!

    • @spwicks1980
      @spwicks1980 7 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      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.
