Love the work, everyday I forge its a coin toss

Monster Hunter fans rejoice!

Game developer: This will look cool Weapon expert: This can never work KZbinr: Hold my soda, old man

havent gotten far but wanted to say, part of why the motions look and feel weird to you are proportions. your weapon is way shorter and lighter, and although with the proper proportions it may be too heavy for you, hunters are stronger than normal people. also it needed more horizontal motion and speed, but I understand why you wouldnt want to swing too quickly

its curvin in the mittle of the handle of axe mode

Water hardened leather layerd with kevlar and chainmail tightly butted over top will make it knifeproof

This video popped up at the most opportune time because I've decided to dive into forging for the first time. Using the most bare bones set up being bricks, and a hair dryer but I know it can work from other videos just gotta stick with it.

This dude is grinding his smithing skill with iron daggers IRL

The biggest issue with turning back to sword mode (except small things getting lodged in the maechanism) is that you don't seem to have a lot of handle to caught for it. But it look great and as balanced as it can be. To improve it, maybe putting a second edge on the top to use it more effectively for piercing.

If you stick the spring in the tool hole of the anvil it makes it easier to straighten springs

Shadow fight 2

Puchased Nr 22 exited to get my hands on it!

I bladesmith and blacksmith as well and often hear the same comment but if you saw my first knife and how I went about making it you would never in a thousand years call it talent. But I did find that with every knife I made and continue to make I improve in some way and never is a newer knife worse than an older one. I won’t say blacksmithing is hard but it has a learning curve that people usually regard as nothing but I guarantee you I being of relative talent when making things will tell you that talent makes no difference when you’re blacksmithing. It’s persistence, patience and stubbornness that produce a good knife.

I've always wanted to do something like this this is AWSOME your pretty skilled

CHARGE BLADE! CHARGE BLADE! CHARGE BLADE!

tell us after you forge the 568th one so we can test your ability to forge dragon bone and Daedric armor

Hi, I'd actually really like that very boring video of you just making this armor, please and thank you!

80CrV2 I see what you did there.

I think it depends on the tone? I’ve never taken it as a back-handed compliment I guess. Take two people of the same experience level and put their work next to each other, and maybe one portfolio just has… idk. Cleaner lines. Or better handle fit-up. There’s absolutely a thing as “you’re so talented” as being a heartfelt compliment. That’s just my take on it I guess. There are sincere, and insincere, ways to deliver said compliment, for sure. Idk - maybe I’m just a 35 yo, 11-years married, father-of-3 little girls, and will just blindly, gladly, and willingly take whatever compliment someone throws at me 😂😂😂

Guaranteed he had a conversation with a troll on his videos and wanted to make a point. Never take trolls seriously, people.

En minuto 28: grite cuando se rompió el cable!

Mortal shell one would be more interesting

This reminds me of zabimaru sooo much

He found the iron dagger exploit...

Ayo we got a short

Switch-axe is a cool proof of concept!! Now, for the sake of _Yharnam_ could you make a *Saw-Cleaver?*

The stuck mud make me want a animation where all the palicos are working trying to fix the hunter equipment after they abuse them in a monster fight, and just complaining about how little care the hunter shows to the weapon as well as how impractical the weapons are

i think it would be most useful to create some way to lock it into *sword* mode. it seems to have a tendency to go back to axe mode usually.

I’ve started saying “you trained” instead of “you’re talented”

Talent or no, you clearly have the Skills to pay the Bills 🤑

So Gun Lance next? Uppercut+Slam+Full Burst and Wyvern Fire. Throw in Rise's Rocket flying just to be safe

How do you work in darkness like that?

Where do you keep this stored? For research purposes? XD

This is really cool. It reminds me of a transforming weapon from Bloodborne if a samurai had designed it. I was watching you demonstrate how a tip-hit could force it to initiate the early stages of axe mode, and I'm not an engineer, and you'd know better than I would, how your weapon works, but I was wondering if "V2" someday might be able to prevent this kind of issue using a simple detent-like mechanism. Just a peg that goes through a hole, or a ball that sticks out into a recession, to lock it into sword mode. With a detent, the press of a button or switch can retract the peg to allow movement when desired, and help prevent it when its undesired. But I know nothing, really.

Damn i want a big one of these in game

ngl the articulation of the game inspired projects "switch Axe" works enough then that means it's possible. its a success!

but.. WILL IT KEAL!?!??

ROAR ZABIMARU

fixed every problem present with a whip sword. good sir, i salute you.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few of those go through a break test

Bro came from shadow fight 2 💀💀

You could take the design of a plain longsword, use an axe head as a crossguard, cut out the area where the fuller is, and at the end of the fuller near the point there could be a latch that could catch the axe head in place. A trigger of some sort could be used to engage and disengage the latches that hold the axe head in place.

Its not heavy enough

Roar Zabimaru

I'm just finishing your prototype design, looks like I have more work to do

I suspect the word "talented" gets misused or is simply misunderstood by many. I suspect it's intended to be a compliment, but you're right, it can feel a discredit to all the hard work you put into learning something. You absolutely proved the point that practice leads to progress. The improvement between your first and last knife is striking! And it's not just the hammer work, but in all aspects of the process that you improve. Also, something a mentor smithy told me that I could never quite achieve but always kept in mind was that you need to keep the elbow of your hammer arm closer to your body. Holding your arm out more feels natural, but it's similar to slouching and will cause problems for your elbow and shoulder eventually. I think that's the tennis elbow you described. Just an observation. Great work! ^_^

Wonder if I can buy that sword now….

tempted to buy #69 just for the meme but I don't think my mom would approve lol

Yeah, totally cool effect,, I already see Brasil has new toys for their bad boys...
