I'm Kerry Stagmer and we are the blacksmiths of Baltimore Knife and Sword we're going to
be building some of your favorite things and fantastic objects you've never seen before
this is Man at Arms Reforged
one of the things that I enjoy most about shooting Man at Arms is that we get to show
the guys that are here in the shop we're going to show you some new faces today and they're
going to give you a good idea of the talent that they came into the shop with and I think
you're going to be very pleased with what we make we'll show you some new Talent we'll
show you some new technique so here we go Man at Arms reforged
uh some of them back to the workshop my name is Gary Jimenez we're doing a recreation rendition
of the sitting born sacks that was found in England and historically that seax was made
with iron now this is a piece of bloomery iron that a friend of the shops of Mark Green
thanks Mark made for us uh and this here is Hearth steel however with this build we are
not going to be making these both materials as these are slated for another build which
I'm excited for you to see today we'll be using modern Steel in a Damascus stack and
we've prepped a 100 layer Billet before this build
first of the forge to pick up the temperature and then directly to the nasal hammer
first he cuts off the excess material to get to the Clean Center and then divides off the
material he'll need for this build

holds the hot cut as Gary begins to use the sledgehammer to drive it down and cut this
into multiple sections that's really just so that we can create patterns these bars
are going to be altered in form and then put back together to create the blade
[Music]
thank you
now with the Billet up to temperature Gary takes it back to the power hammer and the
three bars become one
thank you
Gary's now going to go to the grinder to create a pattern in this material we've just got
some basic layering and some twists but by grinding the pattern will follow the shape
of the grind when he goes back and begins forging again [Music]
[Music] too many options now that's a good problem to have with all these selections
available to me I don't have to be limited when it comes to character creation I can
be a knight a viking or even a pirate the possibilities are Limitless are you interested
in or involved with Stage production filmmaking Western martial arts or you just like to walk
around rent Bears if so you're in the right place here at steel Warrior films we use a
Baltimore knife and sword company weapons the number one name in combat Weaponry in
the last couple of decades the weapons forged by a Baltimore knife and sword are the finest
combat swords we've ever used

[Music]
[Music] now that he has all the material Consolidated into a bar he's going to go back to the nasal
hammer and draw out a Tang that's where the handle will be fitted
[Music]
Gary now takes a diagonal cut on the end of the bar this is so that the pattern will follow
the form of blade [Music]
[Music]
now that we have the completed form of this blade it begins to forge the edge [Music]
now into the grinding room bill will begin to surface this blade [Music] once he's happy
with the overall shape we'll be going to the edge and start grinding it prior to heat treating
thank you
[Music]
again
[Music] with the target temperature 1500 degrees Gary now quenches into Parks 50 oil
I'm gonna tap the fire to get a plate [Music]
[Music] thank you
[Music]
there really is no substitution for a Craftsman's handiwork Andrew's going to take the time
to make these finishes perfect it's all hand sanding he's going to keep rotating the paper
so that it's fresh and get these surfaces exactly where he wants them before we go to
the edge
[Music]
[Music] foreign [Music]
files to create the slot in this Rob pylon designed silver handle fitting
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
[Music] the ancient bog Oak that we've selected moves slowly on the sander Rick's going to
take his time so as not to burn the surface of the wood and create the final shape for
this
[Music]
[Music] the polished and clean knife goes into the ferric chloride and as it comes out
the beauty is revealed oh
[Music] foreign
[Music]
starting from a hundred layers of pattern welded Steel we added iron 5000 year old bog
Oak and silver to create this knife we bring you the blade that any Viking would be proud
to own the Viking sacks
