[@BaltimoreKnifeandSwordCo]

More forging and custom work from the guys at BKS!

[@seanbullough6296]

Still waiting for you guys to make the Glaive from Krull. You made a working chainsword, you have the skills to make the Glaive!

[@christopherkevinsetchell972]

They did that off camera in post production.

[@jimaustin3361]

what will you make next?

[@jjhggdcqz]

Request: Sword of Fiery Cataclysm, Kaijudo.

[@jjhggdcqz]

Request: Calabrass, Zak Storm.

[@anamoose461]

It’s not a real Gaffi Stick unless you have a lizard climb into your brain and make you trip balls for a week before you find your branch

[@wbond6692]

How do you know that part wasn't cut for time? 🤪

[@martelldeus]

So this is just sparkling pole arm?

[@DCHainline]

Lmao

[@jackturner3803]

FENNEC! I’m tripping on 15 grams of lizard, and it’s making that Sandussy look really noice!

[@richardmyhan3369]

I was tripping balls a month ago. I brought my bearded dragon, so there was actually a lizard involved.

[@alexblackburn2021]

I never realized just how satisfying watching someone carving wood rather primal huh?👍😁❤️

[@Louzahsol]

You should see me work on bone carvings. All I do is pacific island art

[@Dheinamar]

As someone who has worked with wood previously I can imagine how many hours went into this build not to mention all the forging

[@Nobelnaga]

this episode reminded me a lot of the earlier man at arms episodes, love to see it

[@isaackim7675]

Like a Bantha!

[@TheKing-rp9by]

1:25 I bet people don’t know that cutting the branches out of the tree actually help make the tree last. Too many branches on trees can split the tree in half from windy days.

[@TCMECH79]

Very observant of you

[@jdavalos5477]

I actually did not know that, thanks.

[@mattschm5486]

For many trees it’s beneficial to cut out some branches. In winter. It helps with windload and also the tree has less branches to support/ bloom in spring. So for example for fruit trees you will get more fruit

[@wbond6692]

After watching the kukri video last, I suggested the Gaffi stick. I knew you guys could do it. A true weapon that will garnish awe and respect for anyone who uses it amidst the Dune Sea and beyond. The Stormtroopers it is used against will never know what hit them.

[@Sombraptor]

Kyrimorut Clan represent! Oya, ner vode!

[@billcollison4393]

Damn right!!

[@dennisjansson6239]

BEST Man At Arms: Reforged episode in years. Time to make Flaming Swordmans sword from Yu-Gi-Oh!, The Sword of Tengu & the Sword of Heroes from the Kung Fu Panda movies. ❤

[@ProfSir1]

If only the actual show was as cool as this episode of Man at Arms Reforged.

[@yugioht42]

The Gaffi was literally whatever the Tuskens could scavenge to create a weapon. Mostly parts of old speeders or transports. cooling fins became maces random metal became spears. no two were ever the same. it was also the weapon to fight the Krayt Dragon while the pearl is a lightsaber crystal if done correctly.

[@kisham]

Also before TBOBF retconned the concept, young tuskens had to get the scrap and assemble de gaffi themselves as part of their adulthood initiation.

[@kisham]

Also no wood whatsoever, this thing of "Tatooine used to be a paradise" is too much a cliche and doesn´t fit with the tusken theme.

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

@@kisham Well, that concept was firmly established in the "Knights of the Old Republic" games back in 2003, and was even hinted at in the original novelisation of ANH. In the KOTOR games, at least, Tatooine was basically bombed into glass by the Rakata as punishment for the native Kumumgah rising up against them, and that turned the planet into a desert. Over the millennia, the Kumumgah split into two different peoples: the Tuskens and the Jawas.

[@jrhamilton4448]

@@kisham By my understanding the planet was completely different at one time but because it was so heavily mined it became a desert planet. Kind of how much of Egypt used to be.

[@kisham]

Omg both of you are right, forgot about Kotor and it´s true it´s metioned, forgive me. I only remembered the old canon when Old Republic settlers tried to mine Tatooine but the metals were magnetized beyond use and the sand crawlers were left behind and repurposed by the jawas, and those miners turned into the tusken eventually. I guess this is not canon anymore.

[@nickmurphy2936]

Love it when you guys take a design and make it your own, good stuff.

[@jediweaponmasterliam9]

Those are some high quality Mandalorian armors you guys put up, that Gaffi stick was a very nice build. I love it! Rick did an EXCELLENT job making a Gaffi stick of his own version. Edit: Could you guys possibly build the Mandalorian Darksaber? That would be awesome.

[@VastDivide]

Dude! Now I'm thinking of a dark saber with a Damascus patterned metal blade. That sounds really cool.

[@jediweaponmasterliam9]

@@VastDivide I absolutely agree! Nice thinking man!

[@TheKulu42]

I like the approach taken while making this Gaffi Stick. I can imagine Tusken Raiders making their own sticks and other weapons, so each one's going to look slightly different.

[@stratman50th]

As always, I enjoyed the video. Nice to see you participating Rick. Talk to you soon brother! Don

[@DarkGXA04]

It’s pretty awesome that you are using the same Custom thing in the movie by forging a chance of your own design

[@sharlharmakhis280]

16:43 I'm imagining a teenage Tusken getting all *kinds* of crap from their friends because they caught their Gaderffi-in-progress on fire trying to harden it

[@joshfournier9390]

Sick looking mandos! Well done!

[@AweMe]

Glad you like them!

[@shatnermohanty6678]

@@AweMe More Star Wars Builds on the Way ??

[@moonyollie6977]

Nice! I know it's not a sword or anything, but I think that Obi-Wan's butchering knife in the new series is really neat, you could do that next?

[@oneshotme]

Excellent looking weapon and a masterful job making it by the team!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@jasoncaswick4561]

Liking the new edits!

[@crowseth4654]

Mandaloriens FOREVER !!!🏒🗡🛠🛡

[@xaviersonntag4302]

You guys should make the mandalorians spear staff next! And since they used damascus as bescar from the set you should make it out of it ;)

[@wbond6692]

That weapon should not have been made. Beskar is only to be used as armor and not a weapon to defeat the armor. "This is the way."

[@Candlemancer]

@@wbond6692 of everything from the new Mando lore, that's the only thing I really hate. Beskar swords or "bes'kad" were a classic Mandalorian weapon, literally their answer to the lightsaber. Hopefully that's just another weird cult thing like "no removing your helmet" and not a reflection of Canon Mandalorian history now.

[@dr.brucebanner7931]

Is the way!!!

[@geradbrown1663]

That’ll crack some heads

[@natsu2010]

Should make a Mandelorian helmet with you guys personal design. Something clean.

[@fernandohcsilva]

Like a Bantha!

[@Spiderchris126]

I would love to see the beskar spear

[@calebhart5023]

The weapon (the club end anyway) is taken from Fijian culture and is called a Totokia. i love the inclusion of a pasifika weapon in star wars but i do wish more people recognized that a gaffi stick comes from a very real culture, especially as weapons like totokia are considered tapu/spiritually charged

[@triune_blades]

I would've thought the club end would have a point, but it all still looks amazing! The Mandos at the end looked great as well. I love woodworking so to see some carving and shaping done on the walnut was a huge bonus. Well done team!

[@michaelgatford6194]

Fantastic work guys, absolutely love it. I'd love to have my own. It would be great if you could make the dark saber!

[@guilhermeflou6686]

Jaster Rogue: Desert Seeker (Rogue Galaxy) Riku: Keyblade Way to Dawn (kingdom hearts 2) Dai: Dai's Sword (Dragon Quest Dai no Daibouken) if you can't make everyone on the list just do one or two on the list. I thank you and your team very much I wish you much success and great achievements

[@JonDoe42069]

Oh! _The_ sword from "Samurai Jack"!

[@ZoidsGenoHydra]

This looks awesome. Now I want my own personal Gaffi stick.

[@jamesallred460]

I had started to carve my own Gaffi stick back when the show came out, but I've since dropped the project and moved on to other things. Thanks for getting me inspired again!

[@BIGCHIVES4]

Truly amazing 💯🎯💯🎯

[@nodeartr8134]

I don’t know if it was mentioned but the Gaffi stick was partially based on a weapon from the Fijian people, the Totokia

[@InkyCloneJoestar]

THIS IS SO GOOD- gosh I am obsessed with those videos Would be cool if you guys ever did Undertaker’s death scythe from Black Butler- the design is so cool

[@PatrickNiese-sn6fs]

I believe this would be the envy of every Tusken Raider you meet.

[@Secretlycat31]

I really like the animated look for the transitions, it looks really smooth

[@Eidolon5150]

Been awhile since I watched but it’s cool to see Rick helming a project

[@grahamwillis585]

I love Iliad but good job Kevin on shaping out the point made it look very easy.

[@thehost9817]

i know its supposed to look like one of the wooden maces except its made of metal, but im not gonna lie it looks like a car part.

[@jrhamilton4448]

The Tuscans use whatever things they can find which likely includes speeder parts, so, not far off 😉

[@Kagenou_CidV2]

The Gaffi stick? Ever since I saw Boba Fetts new weapon, I'm really curious about it. And this is worth watching it. Keep up a good work Man at Arms

[@gousmc1983]

"Larger knob on his end" giggity!

[@acemarvel1564]

That stick has a strangely primeval feel to it

[@angry_genius]

Imagine getting a ❤ from AWE me

[@musicman1088]

This is so awesome! I would love to see y’all make Skeletor’s sword from He-Man. The two swords that form one. That would be so awesome!

[@OriginalOddball]

Drew's sword cane from Dislyte would be an epic build

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Out-filthyword-STANDing! This nifty departure from the usual bladed weapons makes me wonder -- might Skeletor's Havoc Staff be fun to try your hand at...?

[@teneesh3376]

I want to make a Gaffi stick of my own. Step 1: Have a lizard go into my brain so that I can have a trip to find a tree branch. What's that? I can't do that. Well give me a tonne of drugs and throw me into a forest

[@bloodsling]

that fluted spike on the end is "eh" the section set into the stick looked way cooler,and would punch into flesh much easier.

[@FantasyWeapons]

Good job. 👍🏻👏🏻

[@temporary67315]

Those Mandalorian armours look great!

[@AweMe]

I think so too!

[@collecter343]

Of course these wonderful nerds have their own Mando outfits haha.

[@DarkSS1994]

Awesome work as ever

[@johnroberts4456]

Love to see the Swords of the Cross from the Dresden Files

[@noneyabidness9644]

Just checked to see if there were any new videos a few days ago. Looks like I was a bit early and you guys were working hard to bring us a legendary weapon. :)

[@rukaaikujo9445]

Still waiting on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anubis katana

[@zaldygallardojr.322]

For several times since following this series, I'm requesting this one: Forging Rangiku Matsumoto's katana blade (the Haineko) from "Bleach"... Greetings from the Philippines!

[@MetFreak42]

This is the way.

[@VektrumSimulacrum]

It's a Fijian Totokia...in space. I love it when irl weapons make it into scifi.

[@heavymetal19610]

Solid content, thxs for sharing!

[@promiscuous5761]

Thank you.

From the _Wheel of Time_ books-Rand’s heron-mark sword, Perrin’s moon-bladed axe and his war hammer _Mah’alleinir,_ Mat’s ruby-hilted dagger and his glaive-like _ashanderei._

[@nocteinperpetuum7777]

I really wanna see you guys make one of those really long tuna knives. I hear the professional ones sell for a lot of money.

[@TCMECH79]

A tuna sword is very expensive

[@flatlineforge5119]

oh that would be fun

[@Thefemaleslovesosa]

You should make General Kai’s Jade blades from Kung Fu panda 3, thought it might be a cool build to see

[@wrightkeavon95]

Great build! Would love to see your take on that spear from the Mummy Returns!

[@hunterjordan4966]

For your next build I think it would be cool to see Excalibur from TrollHunters:Rise of the Titans. That or Jim's Daylight Sword from TrollHunters: Takes of Arcadia.

[@Rzlickofficial]

He was like I’m going off the book for this one I don’t know if I’ll make it back

[@jackthompson8714]

I'd love to see Drizzt Do'Urdens dual scimitars Icingdeath and Twinkle/Vidrinath. Always loved his character and 2 longsword style in the books.

[@MibMine_2]

Along the same lines of the mandalorians, you should make the armorers hammer and tongs. That world be awesome.

[@vexxama]

Could you forge any of the daggers from solo levelling?

[@ultimateneek530]

Did anyone else hum the Book of Boba Fett's theme song near the end of the video?

[@McMemeTME]

Impressive craftsmanship indeed, absolutely nails it. I’m not sure if you’ve done these before, but I’ve got some interesting suggestions that might peak your interest, or even suggested by others. - Terra Blade (Terraria) - Night’s Edge (Terraria) - Murasama (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) - Bloodlust (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) - Fire Demon (Pixel Gun 3D) - Blades of Corruption (Gacha World) - The Horseless Headless Horsemann’s Headtaker (Team Fortress 2) - The Eyelander (Team Fortress 2) - Survival Knife/Thermo blade (Subnautica) - Trident (Minecraft) - The Yamato (Devil May Cry 5)

[@jameslamasters4384]

I got a suggestion for something to build : A tool used by the Tusken Raiders to build their Gaffi Sticks In the Book of Boba Fett and a real world survival/brush clearing tool that dates back to WWII: Knife, LC-14-B aka The Woodsmans pal. It was standard issue by U.S. Army for years in air-crew survival kits, in the Pacific Theater, and a combat manual was made for it. It's the tool that's used to clear the limbs off of the stick that Boba Fett brings back. The Woodsmans pal is still available today, but I think it would be interesting to see what the Stagmer Brothers could do with it...

[@GVBiggs524]

I would like to see y'all make a Mongol sword.
