Forging a GIANT Axe from [Monster Hunter]

Forging the Greatsword Axeblade. We finally forge a giant weapon from Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter is known for its huge weaponry and the Axe Blade is no different. The team will have it's hands full with this build. There will be everything to make it come to life! Forging, fabrication and tons of grinding. We will use power hammers, 2 x 72" grinders , hand grinders , welders, torches and plasma cutters. Blacksmithing and Bladesmithing on a giant or should I say Monstrous scale. This is not a switch axe from MHW but perhaps we will do that next.

Amazing work, guys! Maybe this time it wasn't that much about forging, which is expected when you do something over-the-top like that, but you still showed a great skill in using different skills, from plasma cutting to forging, it was real pleasure to watch! And if you want to make something else from Monster Hunter, but in a more traditional way, i suggest Legendary Bang sword and shield from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. It has an interesting shape, engravings so Ilya can show off a little bit more, and an overall interesting tribal motiffs coming from it.

Thats why we chose to make this. People have made sweet props from monster hunter but I wanted something all steel and real!

[@eliavillhabrand]

If you ever feel useless just remember that there is a pommel on the monster-hunter axe

[@AtelierMcMuttonArt]

Not sure why- the pommel serves its purpose just fine.

[@omfgitsrayleigh848]

@@AtelierMcMuttonArt pommels were/are for balancing the weapon, aswell as preventing hands slipping and weapon flying out of the hand. both of these are not achieved with this pommel as; 1) it would need many more kilograms of metal to actually start balancing the weapon 2) this weapon is essentially unsafe to hold onto (unless you use the ground to stop the weapon, as in the video) as you would have to stop many kilograms MULTIPLIED by the speed you managed to swing it. can also think of other things the pommel fails at, this is not a peened blade so its unnecessary, also not a talwar style weapon where the pommel shape may ensure 'correct' wrist position when slashing.

[@AtelierMcMuttonArt]

@@omfgitsrayleigh848 The MH Greatsword is an extreme chopping weapon, so the pommel wouldn't be used to alter the point of balance. It *is* used to prevent it from slipping out of your hands, though- remember that this is from a fantasy game where the player is several hundred times stronger than an actual human. They use the ground to stop it with their stronger attacks, but they do have several horizontal swings that would make use of the pommel.

[@omfgitsrayleigh848]

@@AtelierMcMuttonArt while i could say they also need to weigh much more to not be thrown around by the weapon, wouldnt the HUNDREDS of times greater strength give them sufficient grip strength? I.e if ur "strong" enough to swing this, it would never slip out of your hands.

[@AtelierMcMuttonArt]

@@omfgitsrayleigh848 I have to say- I don't understand some folks' insistence on attempting to force reality into something that's clearly supposed to be unrealistic. If we must continue down this line of inquiry, then there are numerous situations where one's grip can't be easily maintained, regardless of how strong they are, such as the grip getting wet.

[@alexward1003]

What i really want to know is how much did that weigh. Thought it was funny that in testing u had it supported just out of frame. The axe head alone would make it unwieldy as hell

[@ThatWorks]

yea its was 100 lbs with a 60 lbs axe blade.

[@RuthlessMojo]

Wow. Great to see you guys use a plethora of metal working skills in this video. Every conceivable cutting technique, several grinding techniques, welding and forging. A bit of everything.

[@ThatWorks]

Thats what builds like this take!

[@gabudaichamuda2545]

I'm not sure why, but watching the scales fall off as the metal is forged is fascinating to me

[@BrokenWar46]

Might be because it is satisfying as hell. Especially when twisting

[@matthewmarting3623]

Even when you’re the one forging it is fascinating, except when you’re on the finishing passes and then it’s annoying.

As a MH purist and a main of this weapon, I have to correct you: It's called a SWITCH Axe, not a Sword Axe. Not an Ax Blade. But I guess it's not much of a problem when physically replicating the inexplicable morphing mechanisms of the in-game weapon to a real one. So I guess, yes, it is a Sword Axe. And WHAT a build it is! An amazing job by this particular smithy! ...The only question is: what materials do I need to deliver to you guys to get it? I'm guessing a few Wyvern Gems, maybe some ores?
