[Music]
I'm Matt I'm Kerri
we are the stag my brother's a Baltimore
knife and sword we're gonna be building
some of your favorite weapons some
weapons that you've never seen before
this is man-at-arms reforged
we've been noticing a lot of requests
for weapons from seven deadly sins we're
gonna be making the demon sword lost
fame this weapon is like a large Zambia
but it has these really big deep hollow
grinds we're gonna go ahead and forge
this entire piece we'll be doing a bunch
of cut work on the outside we'll have to
make a whole Bakke to fit that that's
the fitting that slides up on the
backside and then it's got a Japanese
silk wrap for the handle so we're gonna
kind of mix these worlds up and make
this weapon and we'll be able to take it
into the demos and see how it performs
to begin working on the blade I select a
piece of round stock tool steel this is
obviously too much material for this
weapon so I'm going to heat up the bar
and nip off just the right amount
[Music]
pop tribe nipped off the right amount of
material I will begin by tapering the
bar
[Music]
I will flatten it and start beveling
going back to the hammer Ilya now draws
down and forms the shoulder which
creates the tang which he draws out
[Music]
this will go inside of the handle to
hold the sword in place
[Music]
using the dies of a hammer to pinch the
material down
he draws down the thickness along the
edge it'll be fairly rough so he's going
to be able to come back in with a top
tool and smooth the surface down before
hand fortune
[Music]
using hand hammer he now goes to the
large anvil and begins to finish the
bevels on this blade
there's a Center Ridge he'll drive it
down until that Center Ridge shows I'll
be using that to lay out where the
circles are for the cut through and then
Matt will grind that true
so Ellie has done forging loss pain so
now I got to go through cleanup the
perimeters so I can give it the carry so
you can start doing some machine work on
it
[Applause]
I'm gonna lay out where the holes are
gonna go I'm gonna make it real easy we
do this fairly often with objects I'm
just gonna take my phone turn my camera
on and then we'll just take this shot
from overhead and then I'll be able to
put that in the background and AutoCAD
throw a right over top what I need to
cut and then be able to program the CNC
mill from there
I'm using a carbide cutter running about
3,000 rpm
that should make pretty easy work of
this it'll go through cut that circle as
it goes it will do all five and we'll
come back and take more depth and do it
again even though we've purposely
softened the material it can have some
pretty hard spots in it so we'll be
taking pretty light cuts it's going to
go through and make fifteen or twenty
passes to get the DEF
alright I finally get my hands on this
plate to grind it we're gonna do a very
steep hollow grind on both the front and
the back edges just like it is in the
anime it might not be a very long sword
holy moly that's a lot of material to
take off it's over 1/2 inch thick in the
actual center so it's gonna take me a
while I'm never gonna make this blade
light but I am gonna make it sharp
[Music]
my rough grinding of both my hollow
grind is now done after watching a
little bit of the anime I realized that
the back edge is sharp just like the
front edge so I had to take a lot more
meat off my shapes now good to go the
next step before he treat is to add the
scoops that match the holes in the back
of the blade do that I'm going to use a
very little one-inch wheel grind those
scoops in then we're ready to heat treat
[Music]
with las vain now ground to shape I've
decided to go ahead and start adding in
detail that are on the back half of the
blade I'm gonna do that with our trusty
narrow wheel this narrow wheel really
has allowed us to add a lot of details
to different pieces very quickly this is
kind of pushing the limits of what we
can do with it
the pattern on the back is kind of like
a woven material look to it it's very
complicated my lines have to terminate
sharply it is very challenging I think I
can do it
[Music]
with the grinding out done and our
designs cut in the back of the blade
it's now time to heat treat Ilya
carefully controls the Forge to gain the
desired temperature across the whole
blade nice and even and this time we're
going to take the risk and quench it
into water afterwards Ilya places it
back into the Forge very carefully just
for a few seconds to gain a safe temper
[Music]
because I left the edges a little thick
to play it safe for the heat-treat since
I knew we were quenching into water I
now have to refine my shape a little to
get the edge nice and thin to make sure
we have a nice cutting blade
[Music]
with the garden out successfully sand
casted and we have to do a little bit
more fitting and polish it up
iliyan al takes copper begins to form
the sabaki with a double hollow grind on
a shape of this blade and how wide it is
this is a very difficult form to get
tight he'll work through this and
eventually we'll get it down nice on the
blade mount the guard handle and begin
the wrap even though we could have
gotten away with some paint
there will be bracing this by heating
the blade and then taking the brass wire
wheel and running down the surface it
permanently deposits brass over the top
it'll even patina over time and show the
same kind of surfaces that solid brass
would all of this on a piece of steel
this blade has already been hardened
cement inelia will be dipping the edge
in water so that they can heat the
backside for the brass work but keep the
edge hard
[Music]
billion now takes the bronze guard and
begins the engraving he lays this
pattern down with ease every single time
I see him do this work I'm amazed
[Music]
this is certainly the deepest hollow
grind blade we've ever made
I'm pretty amazed at just how sharp it
is be very intrigued to see with a
smaller weapon like this just how it
cuts
[Music]
[Applause]
