What did you think of our latest creation and what other things would you like to see us build? Let us know in the comments below and thanks for watching!

[@TheZeinas]

God eters Somas sword

[@newtubefag]

Legitimately, one of your finest builds. The level of craftsmanship show here is breathtaking.

[@maplelad3761]

I love the this build. I want to see you guys build orrn hammer from League of Legends. He's a blacksmith like you guys and have a nice beards like you guys as well.

[@valicove]

Please make Drizzt's scimitars.

[@kamalputeh6271]

AWE me please make traditional keris from meteorite

[@Briguy1027]

Ilya's artistry is just amazing. I can see why he does armor. Doing all of that artwork freehand is just incredible!

[@rdu239]

Briguy1027 This project highlighted IIya's intricasy for details. But what amazes me is how he managed to closely duplicate the 2 blades

[@IgorCalheiros10]

Ilya rocks!

[@ZerefTheMage]

ILLYA MAKES ARMOR?! Someone please link me to that!

[@ralfssprogis7286]

Zeref The Mage just check man at arms playlist. There is couple episodes with him making armor. A cuirass a gauntlet of some sort and skyrim helmet. There is also forged in fire episode with him where he made spiked shield with gauntlet.

[@anormalvideditor3555]

I don't know why, but it bugs me when there is an alarming amount of comments requesting a certain thing to be built rather than comments that compliment their hard work in creating something amazing that we requested. These guys put in a lot of work, use a lot of resources, and a lot of time to deliver quality results to their fans. Sadly, I might even venture a guess that a majority of people who view their videos skip over the forging process and go straight to the end to see the result. Then again, most people probably aren't as interested in the forging process as I am. Anyways, thank you guys for your hard work in delivering great results for us fans. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next project.

[@RustyBrusher]

A Normal VidEditor. You read my mind

[@LevensteinLT]

they do say at the end of the video "please say in the comments below what you want us to build next" but yeah, a compliment before or after the build request would have been great

[@karmicfenix]

A Normal VidEditor because they are so amazing that we want to see our favourite weapons come to life. And they do the best job and they even explain how they do it! Which in my eyes makes it wven more magical and awesome!! P.S, also they know how good they are too!!

[@omenpl29]

i think the fact that people request stuff kind of means 'yo that was cool you guys are awesome please build this'.

[@bernardlermite178]

Don't worry, you're not the only one ! ;-) .

[@kacperwoek6026]

how can you even dislike this? this whole channel is beyond what we deserve here on youtube. These guys are doing an incredible job

[@danielroque2832]

Those who dislike are probably rat-kids that dont understand the effort put into this piece of work.

[@soplim8632]

And yet there are 969 people who are complete losers

[@dracophoenixttv]

it honestly doesn't make any sense this is one of the best Channels on youtube. I'd so pay them to forge me a weapon if I could. some of the dislikes I know are from people who look at things to be perfect as well even though I think the blades look identical some people see minute flaws and dislike. Which those same people I say to let's see you do better.

[@isaacverrall8782]

Its because fat nerds critique everything , how people can dislike this is beyond me , they should have been swallowed

Dear, sweet, baby Jesus what a build. What a challenge. What a sword. My favorite piece so far, not just because of it's size and difficulty but because of the detail work on the panels and it's faithfulness to the source. Exceptional.

[@Kaiser_XIII]

You want detail work and faithfulness to the source? Look at the Great Sword of Artorias build. THAT is my favorite piece EVER.

[@fernando.s.b7258]

@@Kaiser_XIII yeah artorias sword is amazing too

[@traderjoe9467]

Of all the times I've watched Man at Arms: Reforged, I can say without a doubt I've never been more proud of the team. The skills you guys used to make this sword are insane, and it's always a great learning experience as well as fun to watch when you guys make these projects. Congrats on the job well done, can't wait to see what else you guys bring to the table!

[@jlly16]

Ilya was born to do this. Just Gorgeous and so precise as always. You guys make a great team.

[@decay79]

Ilya is insanely skilled

[@DragonmanX90]

[@OvAeons]

man we need to see Ilya do more armour forging..

[@MrC4ctu5]

What about him forging a tank? 1 week max.

[@IAmBeowulf701]

I can not begin to express how much respect I have for you guys. Incredible.

[@youngzm]

This thank you needs to be higher than everyone requesting new builds. This must have been such a challenge to every craftsman in the shop to make due to its exhaustive size. Thanks guys, truly an incredible build you've shared with us.

This is what I love about forging. The process at its core is simple to the point where anyone with the right equipment can do it, but the end result is highly dependent on the skill and care that only comes from years of experience. A true art.

[@elbacano97]

10:39 this legitimately looks like a magic forge or something. Amazing and truly a work of art. Great job guys!

[@Gwlyddyn]

Whatever you pay Iliya.. Give that man a raise!

I’m gonna forward this to Mr. Madureira, who is the creator and art director of the Darksiders games. I bet he’d enjoy it.

[@prismaticc_abyss]

Any progress?

[@MrDarkanLTU]

Thumbs up for Ilya's, the skull making even to look at it how its made is hard. thanks for not giving up! are those skulls only on one side? how does the blade look from the other side?

[@sovietwarcat]

Raiden that’s what I was thinking

[@snuglebuni]

It’s on both sides but for time and resource management I’m assuming they didn’t do both sides

[@Merennulli]

They only show it from one side the whole time and didn't show anything about replicating the pattern, which would be a task unto itself, so I don't think it's likely they did both sides. I can't blame them, though, that's an insane amount of work just to be able to flip it over and say "yeah, did this too".

[@w3lc0metomyl1fe]

Had they had done both panels, it probably would've been too heavy to even do any demos at all!

[@DanielBaylissB]

StormBreaker!!!

[@sunilpermaul7876]

This is honestly insanity. Complete art. Amazing job guys :D

[@dragonman101]

You guys are freaking amazing! Ilya, DUDE! The sculpting of the faces on the sheet metal! Speechless... Just wow!

[@CaseyGray58]

Ilya is seriously a master of metal. Absolutely incredble skills

[@liliyaanisimov925]

yes he is

[@eurogryphon]

For one of these heavy builds you should have Hafþór Björnsson (The Mountain from Game of Thrones) on the show to swing it around.

[@michaelbabyak8004]

I like the way you think

[@robertorojas4952]

I had the same idea

[@andrewshraga7301]

but then it would just look like a normal sized sword hahaha

[@BootsThaRareBirb]

This show is by far the coolest thing I've seen on KZbin. You guys obviously work very hard to make these pieces as beautiful and functional as they can be, and the end result is always breathtaking. You guys deserve more credit than you get for the painstaking patience and attention to detail during the forging, and I appreciate that you explain many of the techniques and processes that you use. Being a huge nerd, I really love this stuff, but I am honestly surprised that Chaoseater was the most requested weapon over even Dragonslayer from Berserk, I assume. You guys deserve more views and attention than you get, and more comments that appreciate the hard work instead of just begging for requests.

[@TheDoubleNickel]

It is truly awesome to see Ilya’s master craftsmanship, and everyone that helped in creating this behemoth.

[@EIixir]

That blade is insane! I'm amazed you actually did it! Can you do Stormbreaker please?

[@monosito59]

These guys are the caliber of blacksmiths that youd have to finish a quest for in an RPG in order to craft the best weapons in the game.

[@rhayvenlance]

i can relate. haha like finding the golden hammer in suikoden 2 in order to max upgrade your weapon

[@LordOfRuin707]

Seriously guys, this is probably one of the coolest creations I've ever seen in my life... The craftsmanship...just unfreakingreal... And Darksiders is one of my favorite series so... Bravo! 👌👌

[@chembiofun]

That is just incredibly hardworking and is much patience and time it took, and amazing unbelievable result!!! I really love to watch your videos, thanks you a lot for details of processes and comments, for a catchy views and angles, I am sure there is nothing what you guys can't build!

[@mrgilgamesh4252]

Heimdall's Bifrost Sword would be awesome. Ghal Maraz from Warhammer Fantasy would be awesome. And either the axe Seperator from Brutal Legend, Lars' sword or Ophelia's Blades from the same game.

[@cheapskatecoins5709]

I wish you would have said the total final weight on that thing! Also I agree with the folks saying do Heimdall's bifrost key sword.
