  • Today Ilya and Matt are forging the biggest sword they have made to date and that is Wolf's Gravestone from Genshin Impact. No plasma cutter used on this build! We forged everything! We even forged the giant blade! Each piece was hand made 1 at a time! Happy anniversary to Genshin and to anyone who plays it and I hope getting to see the making of Wolf's Gravestone was a nice reward for you! This video has blacksmithing and blade grinding as well as brazing with brass using our Harris Torch. Forging a sword of this nature becomes more of a sculpture then traditional bladesmithing. Thanks to Genshin Impact for reaching out to us to make this sword for your anniversary and trusting us to make the right one! If you want to learn how to make a giant sword then this is the video for you. An anniversary special forging build as Matt and Ilya return to what they are known best for and that is making big giant swords come to life using as many proper blacksmithing and bladesmithing techniques.

      @@ThatWorks Originally just a heavy sheet of iron given to the knight by a blacksmith from the city. Almost like the Dragonslayer's description, being thick, heavy, and far too large to be called a sword. Also by the blade design, it was snapped off so could be a lot longer.
      Also, the activating object for the battle of Andrius, Wolf of the North, was the Wolf's Gravestone. Reminds me a lot about Sif the Great Wolf, except this time, it's the wolf companion's resting place, not the owner of the sword.

    The thing that originally drew me to channels like yours was seeing my favorite video game weapons brought to life, but as I have gotten older I am starting to realize that watching a true work of art, like the Heretic, be made is so much more satisfying than watching a giant slab of a sword that is difficult to lift be dropped on a watermelon. I know that a masterpiece like The Heretic takes an extraordinary amount of time, patience, and creativity to produce, but I wouldn't mind seeing some more stuff that is historically inspired or at least practical. I enjoy listening to you talk about the histories, the techniques, the tools, and the cultures behind the work you do. Big glowing swords will never not be cool, but at the end of the day that thing is going to sit somewhere to be a decoration. I would like to see more weapons and/or art that you were inspired to create (not necessarily weapons or armor), but I know that you have bills to pay and fun projects like this help with that.

    Beautiful work, I'm impressed by you being able to lift it up. I'm no craftsman but I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to do small fullers on the blade for the red lines to help with the overall weight of the sword and to use wood for the handler

    • @JohnSmith-ex8iw
      @JohnSmith-ex8iw Před 2 lety +5

      I think they were trying to go along more with the game's design of the Gravestone. And the handle being metal would actually be better so as to counterbalance the sheer mass of the blade. Regardless of whether they made it easier to lift, the blade's width is gonna make it unwieldy in battle no matter what. I mean, the biggest greatsword used in battle that I'm aware of is the William Wallace sword, and even that was exponentially thinner than the Gravestone.
