Armorsmithing is totally different story than bladesmithing- I'm super impressed of your skills in this matter! Beautiful work Phil!

[@PJTForging]

Thanks a lot Dawid! Appreciate it man. Your build blows me away, it came out great!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Phil, you did not disappoint! Fantastic build!!! Entertaining, funny, scary … all the good bits of a knife video! Well done my friend. 👍

Thanks Erick! Appreciate it dude! Looking forward to seeing yours!

New subscriber because of this challenge. I love that this challenge came to pass. So many new channels to watch.

[@PJTForging]

Hell yeah! Thanks! This challenge was a great experience, and a great opportunity to learn from each other.

[@constantinbarbu.]

knuckleduster are illegal but a bladed gauntlet is ok....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PJTForging]

Welcome to the weird world of English Law. You can own a machete, but if you paint the handle neon green, or write "zombie" on it, it instantly becomes illegal. 😂

[@constantinbarbu.]

@@PJTForging 🤣🤣as it should be🤣

[@DonsArtnGames]

@@PJTForging o.O my American mind is trying to figure out the circumstances where the notion of neon green handles and "zombie" would present a threat to the public... but then again, this is the same country that changed "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to "Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles "...

[@leoscotton7575]

@@PJTForging The reason is because that implies the machete’s purpose is for violence when it should only be used as a tool

[@johnfranklin87]

Makes sense, knuckledusters are concealable whereas a bladed gauntlet is kinda hard to hide lol

[@TheOrklord]

I am very glad I clicked on this!!! Your humor and enthusiasm earned this sub! I look forward to watching many more, thank you.

You did a great job. The gauntlet idea was brilliant and original and they came out great. I really admire your willingness to share your failures and be transparent. They are truly a work of art.

[@lollorosso4675]

Everybody and their grandmother does pattern-welding these days. Making a cool war-gauntlet is what set you apart from the other great projects. Going back to the roots definitely was a great idea. Got my vote in for your project and subbed. P.S. I am just listening to the „Dungeoncrawler Carl“ series of audiobooks and your project definitely fits the theme.

[@PJTForging]

Thanks so much Lollo! I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Dungeoncrawler Carl, but I think I'm gonna have to check it out now. 😂🤘🔥

[@caseyelworthy2759]

That piece you made is beautiful! The whole thing is great, especially considering it represents the third, fourth, and fifth knives you've ever made! Seeing the whole process with all the setbacks was neat, as well!

[@PJTForging]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! 🔥🤘

[@driveitlikeyastoleit55]

Nice work! Looks cool and it's functional. I would have sharpened the top of the blades as well so you could cut with a backhand.

[@jeffjefferson2676]

Well its pretty unique i can tell you that. :P I did like the Danish oil too. The finish of that stuff really is pretty. This concept is pretty fantasy... Good luck with the challenge! Greetings, Jeff

[@PJTForging]

Thanks a lot Jeff! 👊 I did like the glossy finish too, I just didn't think it quite matched the scuffed/dirty asthetic. Looked a bit too uniform for what I was aiming for. But it sure is purty!

[@kryptonianbat]

That was awesome weapon to wat u build from scratch!!! Keep up the videos!!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Love it! The dirty aesthetic really works well. Would be a great gladiatorial weapon (looks cool, but isn't the most effective) but those jagged edges must catch on EVERYTHING - how much has it made you bleed so far? Oh, and I really enjoyed the Bobby Dukes style scream montage!

[@PJTForging]

Cheers dude! Surprisingly, the edges actually don't catch much on things (after I rolled most of them over). The only time I cut myself on this build was when I intelligently decided to pick it up by the claw shortly after I sharpened it. 😅

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@PJTForging Colour me surprised! Yes, we all have those brain fart moments from time to time. I'm waiting for the nail on my left hand index finger to grow back completely, after I sliced it in half being that kind of stupid... 😅

[@NagelHausForge]

Duuuuuuuuuude I absolutely LOVE this build and this video overall! I love how you use multiple aspects of blacksmithing and bladesmithing along with even some armor making techniques. I also am a huge fan of the brute de forge finish (my favorite finish on my knives) and love how you finished the piece off!! Safe to say, you're getting my vote!! Cheers man! NagelHaus Forge

[@MeleeTiger]

I'm not 100%, but I for keeping the blades straight, would steel bailing wire have worked in place of a clamp? The real thick stuff, so you could twist it nice and tight and not lose a clamp?

[@PJTForging]

Possibly, but I think there may still be too much flex in the wire. The clamp was a crappy cheap one anyway, and is currently still sat in the bottom of the quench tank. 😅

[@peltiereric6497]

I do like what you ended up with in the end, not sure if it’s fully into that fantasy category as it is more historical than fantasy but have to say it’s one of the most functional ones I’ve seen yet. I do wonder why you didn’t line it with sheepskin fleece or something like that to protect the user

[@PJTForging]

It's fantasy because, to my knowledge at least, there are no historical examples of this. Yes there are historical gaunlets, and yes there are historical tekko Kagi, but as far as I am aware, there was never a combined version in this style; otherwise an argument could be made that no knives can be fantasy, as there are plenty of historical examples of knives. I did consider lining it, but surprisingly, it wasn't necessary. It fit very well and comfortably to my arm, so I didn't feel the need.

[@Take_And_Make]

Great job Count Fistula! Though i wonder what the Antonio Banderaz Lovedoll ever did to you to deserve this.

[@PJTForging]

I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT!

[@DonsArtnGames]

Definitely in my top 3... If I nitpick, the only part that I felt could be improved would be the back end of the blades. The squared off cut looks out of place compared to all the organic curves and modeling. Otherwise, great job!

[@PJTForging]

Thanks a lot Don! Yeah I must admit I wasn't entirely sure how to address the back of the blades. I decided to leave them slightly rounded so that the gauntlet looked like it was just a normal hand holding onto the claw.

[@threecatforge]

I’ll say it again. That is pure badassery. Could totally see some lich warrior cutting up some hobbits with it.

[@PJTForging]

That's a horrifying image! 😂 Thanks! :)

[@thewind1399]

u know if you put somethig in front of gauntlet between claws so that if they block a slow it will be stuck in between without injuring your hand like a SAI-dagger it is in fact quit realistic and efficent weapon and was also used exept it was jst smaller bc they didnt have resourced for making whole gauntlet like that

[@CapnMadelyn]

I think the plate between the hand and arm should have been leather so you can move your hand more

[@PJTForging]

I did consider this/similar. However I actually kinda wanted to limit the movement a bit. With the leverage that would be felt by hitting things with the claws during a full swing, I wanted the wrist to be quite robust; it's also the reason I moved the hinge back a bit further, to just behind my actual wrist joint. There was some method to the madness. 😅
