Aragorn's Narsil / Andúril (Lord of the Rings) - MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED

[@x570Belmont]

Good thing that Narsil, and by extension it's re-forged self Anduril, wasn't forged by the Elves then. Narsil was forged by Telchar in the first age, one of if not the greatest Dwarven Smith to ever exist in Middle Earth. It had a sister blade, a knife called Angrist, which was used by Beren to carve one of the Silmarils out of Melkor's helm. TLDR the elves only put it back together. Narsil is originally dwarven.

I'm a mechanical engineer but I've never watched any of their vids before. When I saw how little it was deforming from the hammer hits at 1:15 I realised how hard their job is. It must've taken hours just to get the rough shape done. Massive respect for their workmanship.

[@virajkadam1684]

[@gmourao]

Too high carbon on it, probably. It's tool steel, and they used charcoal...

[@aimilios439]

@@gmourao It would lose a lot of carbon in the reforging process, so they must have thought about it and went too far with the first blade.

[@nubreed13]

@@aimilios439 they used a charcoal forge so some of that carbon is probably out back in that way.

[@sonoffenix3399]

@@rlchamp7019 That's more accurately grain than damascening. The whole blade is made from the W1 (and, probably to counter scale losses, a touch more from the original bar) and the lines you can see are a result of welding the pieces back together, with carbon loss along those interfaces. Think like that grain of Japanese steels, not modern pattern welding of different steels, or even wootz.

[@dylanwatts1045]

It was pretty awesome that they forged Narsil, broke it, and reforged it into Anduril. I especially love that the forge welding and folding gave the blade a wavy - almost flame-like - pattern. Fitting, as Anduril is The Flame of the West. It was also interesting to see how the tempered sword flexed when Sam accidentally hit the table at 9:48. If it wasn't tempered, I'm pretty sure the sword would have either bent permanently or straight up snapped. Well done, gents!

[@adsfacvadtrvawefdghjdsfpoi5704]

Tarik360 Where the Damascus folded steel pattern looks nonuniform and coarse the Nordic method of taking the steel dividing it into three equal parts and pounding those back out o the length of the sword then twisting two to the right and one to the left (or vise versa) result's in a really sexy and repeating pattern down the blade. My favorite style is the serpent where the center core is staggered and pounded flat again making it look like a serpent going down the blade.

[@Kartissa]

According to Skallagrim, That's how traditional medieval longswords were supposed to be used.

[@connerdale4221]

+Ted Melkoumov (SSB Computers and Knives) A bastard/hand-in-a-half sword is exactly the same as a longsword. Sometimes they're different (such as handle shape/size, and/or blade length), but overall, a longsword and a bastard sword are the same

[@bloodfrog8657]

Bastard sword is a more modern term I remember. Also hand-and-a-half sword is misleading. A proper longsword (and for sure a beast like Anduril) is way to long to be used with one hand. Yes you could do it, but it would be very hard to wield und very ineffective. A bastard sword would be a sword with the long handle of a longsword, but a shorter blade...a "bastard" of a longsword and a one handed sword. Indeed, a Hand-and-half sword.

Sauron is a lot more attractive then I remember...

[@MosdrasTheLight]

Have I got some news for you...our fave glowing eye was big time attractive before he went all evil. Was part of a mythic race in lotr lore that created elves and humans as well as dwarves. He betrayed his own and later everyone. All because he trusted another of his kind who was also an evil son of a gun. :3 so yeah Sauron was quite hot to the point people trusted him completely.

[@zetamusic162]

That ain't Sauron. That's one of the Nazgûl, their leader, the Witch-King of Angmar, but in this case, it's the Witch-Queen

[@MosdrasTheLight]

Santiago R actually the book Tolkien wrote the Silmarillion explains who and what Sauron was before his fall from literal grace. It’s an amazing book. Massive and long but a good read the nine were mortal men . Sauron was of the Valar and Maiar two races created from spirits who wanted to be apart of the world physically. One of which was a Being called Malkar whom wanted the now created world for himself rather then let elves,dwarves and men have it when they came. :3 if you wish to know more lore feel free to ask me . I am happy to share.

[@zetamusic162]

Nichelle M I know. I've read the Silmarillion, and I know it describes Sauron's armour. But based on what I saw, the armour that woman is wearing is looks more like the Witch-King's armour than Sauron's. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out

[@MosdrasTheLight]

Santiago R ahh ok. Guess we had tiny miscommunication then haha and no problem I’m a fountain of random lord of the rings lore.

[@fadingjedi]

I'm intrigued that they used 19th century techniques. I wonder if they would try even older techniques. Go for broke and make Excalibur using 7th century techniques. Or build Excluding Roman or Celtic techniques.

[@murrylancashire]

[@PinkThorn242]

They've already done Excalibur though.

[@quitwastinmytime]

I was intrigued that they decided not to use any Elven magic. Or did they?

[@unclemiguel4221]

forging blades and armour is its on magic friend, whether it be elfish, orcish, or dwarvish (the dwarves can't use magic but they can enchant, i dont know how but hey magic is magic)

[@MartinTraXAA]

While interesting (and for academic recreations, necessary), doing it exactly like they'd do it back then is uncessesarily time- and labour-consuming. A hammerblow is a hammerblow, wether done by a machine or an apprentice, what matters is the way the hammerblows are used to create the finished piece of work. Method =/= Technique. Having seen an axe made using historically accurate tools, method AND technique, I can say it's incredibly difficult, time consuming and GOD DAMN SO COOL!

[@storspeaker5475]

I wanna say, one of things I love and noticed about this sword is the contrast of the metals. With Narsil, you see the full metal of the sword, when Andúril is made (using the tile stacking) you can notice the contrasting metals in the cool wave pattern. It’s really cool!

[@AlexA-bx8jr]

my jaw was dropped when seeing the preliminary sword at how gorgeous it was and then was even more shocked when you smashed it. Then the damascus coloring came through after reforging and was even more impressed. The engraving is particularly gorgeous, as simple as it is. awesome work.

[@chinaboytag1]

6:21 "That is no way to reforge a sword." Please remember kids, never reforge a sword instantly, with elven magic. It's not only more effective and faster, but it's also improper blacksmithing. If the elves needed a smith, they'd be out of luck, because they don't like dwarves.

[@Cajolikhan]

^ he doesn't know that Tolkien elves are best smiths in the entire world (laughingnoldor.jpg)

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

+Cajolic There's not a lot of them though. And weren't the good ones the 1st Age ones?

[@chinaboytag1]

John Peacekeeper The 1st age ones could craft crazy stuff that could almost rival the rings of power. So even still, the 3rd age elves could at least fix a sword with magic. Not only that, but they were clearly capable of imbuing their blades with magical properties. Hence why sting glows when orcs are near, and the elven rope burns Gollum. If I wanted a blade, I'd probably go to the Elves,

[@kiraina25]

I think the rope burned Gollum specifically because he was so tainted by the Ring that the touch of something that Elves made was unbearable. Just the _presence_ of something so fair was like acid... actually, kinda like how Quirrell couldn't touch Harry because of his mother's protection? That said, the elven rope was totally magical. It slipped its knot and came down just on Sam's say-so.

[@chinaboytag1]

kiraina25 That's my point. Elves don't make rope, they don't smith swords. They magic them together.

It may not be the way to reforge a non magical sword, but narsil was a magical sword which was reforged with the aid of elven magic.

[@midshipman8654]

well, in the books, I dont think it mentions exactly how it was reforged, so the movie interpretation is probably just a hand-wave “probably looks right”. I dont think it being magical was a significant factor in making the scene, thats more retroactive justification.

[@AlexanderRJaruk]

Thanks for the explanation!

[@dawnbaker9274]

Just popped up on my feed. I know nothing about foraging swords. I am impressed by your work, patience, and skill. Well done, gentlemen, well done.

[@greenhornet510]

Ruroni kenshins reversed blade sword

[@AmeeBor]

woah the amount of work you put in here guys...... impressed

[@WintersCosplay]

Omg me as a fangirl thinking for all of the first half of the video that they should make Anduril instead of Narsil cause they showed the wrong footage at the beginning. Still, the footage of Aragorn beheading Lurtz (the Orc leader in The Fellowship) is neither Anduril nor Narsil cause at that time the shards of Narsil were kept at Rivendell and he used another sword ;)

[@marenmahler3373]

Haha another fangirl!

[@glennaberg]

AgentMI6007 im in love!

[@JakeGuestChannel]

AgentMI6007 His first sword is a Dunedain Chieftain's long sword (:

[@tokyoaro7236]

Thank you for posting this. I hate when companies do little to no research.

[@OhanCockett]

I was exactly the same..It is amazing though!

[@the_legit_tsm]

I love that you break Narsil to forge Anduril

[@AlexanderRobocop]

Am I the only one who got a bit emotional when they started to reforge Andúril?

[@moanguspickard249]

The Vagabond Prince i was like "the king shall return once again!!!"

[@balmoraman4]

The Vagabond Prince That is the most badass thing they've yet done.

[@Achw3l]

The Vagabond Prince I got shivers when he read the Andúril passage :3

[@matteoarnetoli3402]

The Vagabond Prince nope you' re not!

[@squirrelknight9768]

1. Make a sword 2. Break a sword 3. Repeat 4. ????? 5. Profit

[@holdencaulfield1906]

David Köppel They were recreating the transformation from Narsil to Anduril. Narsil was broken into pieces by Sauron and was reforged by the Elves of Rivendell for Aragorn, the true heir to the throne of Isildur. Narsil was wielded by Elendil, the first High King of Gondor and during his final fight with Sauron, Narsil was shattered and Elendil was dead leaving his throne to Arathorn II, his son and the father of Aragorn. With Elendil's death the Second Age ended. So that is why they "broke the sword".

[@laharl2k]

Lourenço Rosa OH THAT MAKES IT ALL SO MUCH CLEARER NOW! /s summary: A guy was killed and his sword broke, then his son came and reforged his sword and gave it a new name.

[@alexpjp9082]

Laharl Krichevskoy the son didn't reforge it, elves did and gave it to his heir later on :P the LOTR can be confusing.

[@squirrelknight9768]

Lourenço Rosa yeah well, I know... It was just an old meme bro

[@holdencaulfield1906]

Spike Tacular Well, as you can see, I clearly wrote "Narsil was broken into pieces by Sauron and was reforged by the Elves of Rivendell for Aragorn, the true heir to the throne of Isildur.".

[@DerekMoore82]

Aragorn never used Narsil. Narsil was forged by Telchar, originally belonging to Maglor, who later passed it on to Elros, who would later become the first King of Númenor. Eventually it was passed down to Elendil, and then picked up by Esildur his son and then broken. Aragorn's first sword is a Dunedain Chieftain's long sword that Aragorn used before receiving the reforged Andúril from Lord Elrond (forged from the shards of Narsil, but no longer called by that name - it became Andúril, Flame of the West).

[@irvirgil]

Derek Moore neeeeerd rage. Aragorn did not wield Andúril to kill Lurtz as portrayed in the introduction

[@Forgenshoot]

Derek Moore You did watch the whole video, right? They broke Narsil and reforged it!

[@TheDarkalkymist]

irvirgil in the movie that scene is not done with narsil, but with a different blade that has far as I am aware carries no name

[@Gildamidget73]

Forgenshoot yeah into a different sword, and they didn't break it, it was already broken. They forged it into Anduril.

[@meldroc]

Derek Moore In the books, Aragorn did possess a broken Narsil, and when he revealed himself as Aragorn to the Hobbits, he pledged himself to Frodo's protection with Narsil. Later, when they got to Rivendell, Narsil was reforged into Anduril, and Aragorn wielded Anduril for most of the trilogy. The films changed things so Aragorn only got Anduril in Return of the King.

[@cris-ci8fs]

Le rêve de pouvoir forger une telle épée. Magnifique travail. Merci beaucoup pour ce partage qui donne tellement de rêves et d'envies de créer

[@yairkornblau9440]

While watching the beginning of the false showcase I was like "Where was the tempering?!"... Can't say you disappointed me

[@jeffreyventura3382]

I love how they broke the sword and re-forged it, just like in the story. Well done, gentlemen! But who was "Sauron"?

[@julianmorgan2849]

I cant wait for the new King Arthur movie comes out so they can finally forge Excalibur!

[@Omen_Seven]

Technically they already have done an interpretation of Excalibur. They did the version of Excalibur that the character Saber (Arthuria Pendragon)wields in the Fate/Stay anime series. Go and watch it if you haven't already, its a beautiful piece.

[@IronBridge1781]

Julian Morgan The newer version from King of Avalon is quite possibly the most beautiful sword they've ever made.

[@jair_cuthegar]

i love the work a smith does. seeing them even smithing with old technology only makes me even more happy

[@leonardmarinacci4303]

Please do Inigo Montoya's sword from The Princess Bride.

[@leonardmarinacci4303]

[@johnleemcmulln2168]

[@freaky_friday2413]

Plz do his sword! It would make my day!

[@zebdeming]

[@petedvorak548]
