Forging Twillight's Edge - Blade and Soul
Рет қаралды 994,738
3 жыл бұрынBlade and Soul: Revolution is out now ! bit.ly/ThatWorksBNS . Join us as we forge a fantasy Integral Katana from one solid piece of steel. Making this sword was a real challenge. Forging it on piece and then carving a ton of details into the handle. This video shows some great blacksmith forging and a ton of stock removal techniques to create detail. Blade and Soul did an amazing job designing this sword and it was fun bringing Twilight's Edge to life to celebrate the launch of Revolution.

What is the blade made of it...and If I went back in time 800 years would that sword be functional as combat weapon. I remember Aragorn's sword on man at arms and I think that one would be. I think this sword is beautiful just sure about functionality

Well dang I’ve been watching these two create absolute master pieces for 7 years today, the first episode I saw was links sword on man at arms. They bring so much knowledge and creativity to everything they build and it is always awesome to see the process of forging done from stock to finish rather than just plasma cutting or CNC to do it faster. To me it showcases the craftsmanship and skill these two bring to the table. Keep up the good work and thank you for all that you do!

The nice thing about steel is that, with the right welding skills, you can always add material back if you take too much off. Tig is probably the best at that because you can use the same steel used in the blade as fill and using an argon gas unit means that you don't burn up the carbon in the steel since the gas displaces oxygen.

The end sword looks really nice. The detailing work on the hilt and pommel look fantastic. Also, I may be in the minority, and I imagine that it's pretty difficult to capture, but I miss the sounds of the sword being forged, the music is okay and all, but I the sound of hammers and power tools ringing out as the metal gets shaped really helps with connecting to the video.
