    I have to admit I was skeptical about this build when I first saw it. I was also skeptical about how the LED’s would look on a mostly natural build. But the final result was breathtaking. I was dumbfounded and extraordinarily impressed. The fact that it actually looked magical took the realism to a whole new level. Excellent build.

Pretty epic all around in my opinion! Thanks for sharing another make it real and spending the time needed to make it look accurate. From the way I saw you holding it it looked like it was at least like 40 pounds of weight maybe more that you had to swing around just to test it.

      @@leonardhaworth5632 Eagle Claw is based on a macuahuitl. a weapon used by the Mesoamerican civilizations most notably the Aztecs. The obsidian blades, while extremely sharp were also very brittle and struggled to defeat metal armor worn by Europeans. Against unarmored opponents and animals it was very effective. The macuahuitl came in a variety of styles and spacing of the blades. The one requirement to become an elite Aztec warrior was to capture 20 men on the battlefield, so the broad flat wooden part was used for non-lethal subjugation. Sometimes the blades were left intentionally short and widely spaced apart so to deliver multiple nonlethal cuts, in order to wound but not kill. While these were pretty brutal weapons for the time period, steel swords still had a number of advantages including keeping a sharp edge and having a thrusting point that is better at defeating armor.

    I love how you really focused on the individual manufacturing methods and achieving a high-quality finish with this video, and it was nice to see materials other than metal for once! I know that polycarbonate is really nice to work with, but that piece of Che Chen looked absolutely amazing and was definitely the star of this project. I'm also quite surprised that you don't have a CNC table router in your shop, they are really useful. Thanks so much for showing this video, it was a real joy to watch! 🧡💜💛💚

    Oh my God I just saw the obsidian and I'm afraid. I've made arrowheads with it before, had to carve it under a few inches of water. It's so hard to keep a blade of it sharp tho. Keeps chipping apart! But I heard doctors have made scalpel out of them before, hopefully we can learn more about how to accurately produce stable blades!

    When they started cutting out plastic for the faces, I started thinking it might turn out meh, but they could probably salvage it with some paint. Then I saw the obsidian "knapping" and of placing the pieces in resin, and felt they had probably failed, but decided to withhold my judgement til I could see the final product. Now, at 12:29 I think it is safe to say they did indeed fail.
    The faces (and some other details) should look yellowish/golden, but instead look transparent/grey/plastic.
    The serrated obsidian 'teeth' should be 8 solid pieces (somehow) knapped to have spiky teeth, but are instead haphazardly shrapnel essentially glued together.
    The hilt should also be golden coloured, but looks like sheet metal and plastic.
    Overall this would have looked way better if they did a paint-pass on all plastic components, and some metal. As for the obsidian, I have no clue how they should go about knapping them to shape (obsidian doesn't behave like metal or wood or such, as it is a type of glass. The model kinda struck me as impossible when they first showed it), but whatever they did wasn't it.
    They did a good job with the wood, and the metal in the blade. And the eye looks both neat and accurate (maybe a bit too good, the model's eye strike me as more jank than what they managed :p). Still, I would consider this a failure (even if they painted stuff, so long as the impossible obsidian doesn't look the same, it isn't the same..).

    This is why Netflix is so successful. They know the right people to throw money at. And, yeah, Obsidian is no joke. It's also known as volcanic glass and tends to have EXTREMELY sharp edges when broken. It's this quality that made it attractive for use in weapons before they even knew that metals existed. This thing would mess up your day something awful even without the modern metal reinforcement.
