@@murkwithasmirk6877 There is a european steampunk man, I can't remember his channel name, and his whole channel is him just making massive things and using them. I wish I could remember the name but I remember him making a massive sword from an anime and swing it around.
@@planetmaker3472 He may have made a crucible sword but the video I remember was a big rectangle sword that was not the crucible for sure. EDIT: Found it! he goes by the name michaelcthulhu on youtube
It definitely makes a huge difference in some instances. Every time I see another channel male a so-called "Damascus" blade (it's actually just pattern welded, but that's a whole other rant,) they do the lazy thing and plasma cut the tip to shape. It sucks because then the pattern in the metal just continues right off the tip of the knife. When you forge the tip the pattern of the metal actually curves with the tip the way it's supposed to. Ilya, unsurprisingly, is the master of this sort of thing.
I'm getting sick of plasma cut blanks too...it's almost like putting actual craftsmanship into a build makes the content more appealing...novel thought I know
Other swords that have unusual, crunchy textures are the Nazgul's blades from the Lord of the Rings, it'd be cool to see you guys replicate that super dirty look too.
@@ThatWorks If u r taking votes for Nazgul weapons, I want to put my vote towards the Witch King's sword w/ all the small details on cross-guard, pommel, and the middle section between the upper and lower separate grips. It would be awesome to see this blade w/ texturization. Additionally, I have always imagined the Witch King's sword in Game of Thrones world. So a crossover type sword! Basically, Witch King's sword made out of high contrast Damascus (not sure if Damascus looks good w/ texturized look?). Dream sword right there!
Now that I've seen it in real life, it makes me wonder- Just how strong is the Ashen One that they can stab this thing into things and do more than just bludgeon them a bit? How much force is behind that swing that it can do slash damage?
I had to cry at the showcase, I don't know why... I am going through a lot and I am starting therapy next week. A lot of emotions and things going through my head. Knowing that video games help a bit with coping and seeing this brought to live with an eye for detail, lore and black smiting techniques... it just broke me. Thank you guys for the amazing work

I come back here every once in a while to rewatch all my favourites of yours. This is definitely the one that makes me feel the most emotion. I got Dark Souls on launch way back in 2011 (I think) and just seeing the amount of care put into recreating the coiled sword makes me feel things I didn't know I had. You guys are the best :)
@@jwanikpo As said above, Estoc is a thing. It is a piercing weapon with a very rigid blade and meant for ramming the blade through the weaker mail protected portions of a full plate armor. It is like a Longsword version of the Rondel Dagger. It can only thrust, not cut, but it is very good at it.
I just want to say I have a lot of respect for a channel that promotes a product because they actually like it and use it regularly. Really helps the credibility of both the channel _and_ the sponsor.
Aleksey absolutely smashing it again with the "rough with intent" look. I feel like this piece would have been easy to just twist some bar and call it a day, but the extra detail really makes a difference.
Watching this honestly made me emotional. The dark souls franchise means so much to me and I hope one day I can have a coiled sword to make a backyard bonfire one day.
Amazing build. Well done 👏. If you guys aren't tired of Dark Souls swords I would suggest Slave Knight Gael's sword. I feel with its broken down appearance as well it would be a great opportunity to show really unique techniques
I absolutely love the work you guys do because Blacksmithing is like, super cool to me, if I wasn't terrified of fire, I'd be a blacksmith.. or a chef, one or the other (I'm slightly clumsy and had a bit of a traumatic experience with fire as a kid)
Wow this looks amazing. I hope you guys do more dark souls videos. That series has so many interesting and iconic weapons. Personally I would love to see the Dragonslayer Spear or the Bewitched Alonne sword
I’d be more interested in Ornstein’s spear than Alonne’s sword : I’d wager both would be difficult to create given the details on the first one and the absurd length and thinness of the other, but precisely because of all those intricate details on the spear compared to merely the technical difficulty of forging such a sword, I’d prefer seeing them try their hand at the spear. Or they can try creating Gwyn’s sword, good luck even lifting it up the ground XD
@@nathanjora7627 True that Ornstiens Spear would be a real fun build but the Alonne sword would actually be an excellent opportunity for another of the historical builds as it's basically a traditional nagamaki with very few fantasy elements. I actually commented on a previous historical build that I would like to see one on that particular type of blade so I see that one as a win-win
@@nathanjensen7825 Well, I’m not an expert, or even a buff, but searching for historical analogies for Alonne’s sword I couldn’t even come close to finding a sword that thin and that long. I could find pretty long sword, but not nearly as much of both. Hell, even normal katanas seem thicker (in both depth and the... dimension perpendicular to length, the word escapes me for now) So I don’t know about the « historical » part.

Bloodborne: Ludwig's Holy Blade (it would be super cool to see you guys build the sheath as well and it'd still be wieldable in its transformed state!) 2. Dark Souls: Silver Knight Straight Sword 3.

Great work on this, the coiling techniques were brilliant to watch. I'd be excited to see how you handle the much more exotic and out-there designs of the games, say, the Dragonslayer Swordspear.

do even mooooooooooore dark souls build please :D This one turned out awesome and the lothric sword was just unreal. This game has so many cool weapons (Splitleaf Greatsword, Dragonslayer Spear, Dragonslayer Greataxe, ...)
I think the Dragonslayer greataxe may be a little bit too difficult for them just now XD I’d love to see the sword of Astora though, probably the most iconic sword that managed to be in more than one darksouls (except the coiled sword of course). Technically speaking only the starting weapons made it through all three games unchanged, but I don’t think it’d be really all that impressive to have them create « generic straightsword nº288401 » ^^’ *starting weapons and Ornstein’s spear + 2/3 of BK weapons
I was literally just watching a Dark Souls 3 video and then this notification popped up. Can't wait to see you guys link the First Flame with this bad boy.
@@antonior4220 It makes you wonder who they consult for history - because either they do that or have some artists who consult historical artwork themselves. While their "grounded" swords aren't super accurate, their grounded armor seems to have a lot of thought put behind it compared to many franchises. Comparing their original Fluted set to the lame redone version by Bluepoint is probably the best example I can come up with.
I dunno if it would be possible with swords, but the machine shop I work at does a lot of work with stainless steel. When you heat treat stainless to 900F using the H900 heat treating method, it turns a beautiful golden bronze color. We only get it up to 43-46 on the Rockwell scale though, and I believe swords have to be a lot harder than that. Still be cool to see a sword made from stainless and heat treated that way though, even if it would be a wall hanger.
@@murphsmodels8853 I mean, bronze swords were a thing and are way softer than steel ones. You basically fix the dents on them by hammering them cold. So I don't think it'd be an issue to use your treatment, might be cheaper than using bronze too !
Surprisingly not accurate. The Coiled swords edge isnt blunt, just twisted around. The blade would actually be MORE dangerous then your standard blade simply due to the particulars of parrying. With that design, a bladed parry would result more then likely in your blade twisting out of your hand and the Coiled sword slicing happily into your forearm. Edit: with a solid sheild, this would cease to be an issue, but even then actually blocking with a shield is like to shatter your arm.
The coiled sword is more than a weapon. Its a symbol of how something created as a weapon has evolved into a central tool of keeping the world alive. Even if it no longer serves its original purpose, it now serves a much greater one.
The onyx sword from the game is pretty cool looking. You can tell the developers really put time in designing some of these swords, maces, axes and hammers
Absolutely gorgeous! What would happen to the sword of you were to leave it in the centre of a bonfire for a long time? Would the sword weaken and break from the heating and cooling?
something like that actually exists in dark souls 2! the primal bonfires have been around so long that their sword has melted in half - at least thats what i always assumed
Watched roughly 30 videos before realizing I wasn't even subscribed. A video showed up on my feed a couple of weeks ago and they kept showing up. Now subscribe. I love videos and channels like this.
I'd really like to see you guys build the AC Valhalla version of Excalibur. They reimagined it to be a relic from the first civilization instead of just a normal sword.
When you said that you have to quench the chisel every few hits so that it doesn't "lose its temper"... I finally understood where that figure of speech came from!!
@@WinterJack15 well yes but if you were fighting someone who was wielding say, a long sword, would you rather a regular long sword or the firelink greatsword?
Me at 9:07: Dear god, he's going to coil it before sharpening it? The absolute madman Me at 10:05: Oh.. I guess they just aren't sharpening it? Coiled club?
well the weapon is practical in where it comes from, its literally a sword that is lit ablaze by the the first flame, and during the soc boss fight its still smoldering hot like it just came out of a furnace, its more of a burning weapon, that & it can still impale you

I think the Dragonslayer greataxe may be a little bit too difficult for them just now XD
I’d love to see the sword of Astora though, probably the most iconic sword that managed to be in more than one darksouls (except the coiled sword of course). Technically speaking only the starting weapons made it through all three games unchanged, but I don’t think it’d be really all that impressive to have them create « generic straightsword nº288401 » ^^’
*starting weapons and Ornstein’s spear + 2/3 of BK weapons
Morion's blade? XD
@@hornet6679 that one is very nice too. I totally forgot it :o
I was literally just watching a Dark Souls 3 video and then this notification popped up. Can't wait to see you guys link the First Flame with this bad boy.
Seriously this is such a sick build. Dark Souls is also still sorely underrepresented in fantasy sword replicas.
@@limonbattery yeah, love the fact that FromSoftware mixes historical and wacky fantasy weapon designs without ruining the lore and aesthetics
@@antonior4220 It makes you wonder who they consult for history - because either they do that or have some artists who consult historical artwork themselves. While their "grounded" swords aren't super accurate, their grounded armor seems to have a lot of thought put behind it compared to many franchises. Comparing their original Fluted set to the lame redone version by Bluepoint is probably the best example I can come up with.
9:50 BRUTAL seems he suffered from bloodloss. The unique look , methods implemented , the rough look and simplicity is amazingly beautiful. Well done.
I would love to be able to get my hands on one of those, it looks amazing!
4:54 u think we dont see Yhorm's greataxe back there? I hope we get a video for that
nah the onyx blade
You're tripping. Yhorm doesn't have a great axe lmaooo
It’s a machete, but he’s still right since the game puts it in the “greataxe” category, probably due to the moveset.
God I so hope to see you make a Golden Sun sword, Felix's concept art sword or the Gaia Blade with a bronze finish (if not a bronze blade)
Hmmmm
YES THIS!
I dunno if it would be possible with swords, but the machine shop I work at does a lot of work with stainless steel. When you heat treat stainless to 900F using the H900 heat treating method, it turns a beautiful golden bronze color. We only get it up to 43-46 on the Rockwell scale though, and I believe swords have to be a lot harder than that. Still be cool to see a sword made from stainless and heat treated that way though, even if it would be a wall hanger.
@@ThatWorks so many good swords in golden sun plus a great game
@@murphsmodels8853 I mean, bronze swords were a thing and are way softer than steel ones. You basically fix the dents on them by hammering them cold. So I don't think it'd be an issue to use your treatment, might be cheaper than using bronze too !
9:50 - Uff looks like for this awesome blade, some actual blood has been shed - hope his hand is fine again!
A "That Works" video based around Dark Souls?! I don't think I've ever clicked a video faster in my life!
And we made one about a year ago too
After This
Well
Sword’s like This Are very Hard to Top Memetically
Immaculate Art
Beautiful Work
Thank You
My request has been listened by the forge gods
Glad we could help
Forge In Fire be like: Sir your sword wouldn't kill!
Could if you hit hard enough!
@@kevgmei i think thrusts should work as well
Surprisingly not accurate. The Coiled swords edge isnt blunt, just twisted around. The blade would actually be MORE dangerous then your standard blade simply due to the particulars of parrying. With that design, a bladed parry would result more then likely in your blade twisting out of your hand and the Coiled sword slicing happily into your forearm.
Edit: with a solid sheild, this would cease to be an issue, but even then actually blocking with a shield is like to shatter your arm.
When forging a sword from the game is easier than the game.....
So true
"You have died" (This /is/ Dark Souls...)
But Dark Souls is incredibly easy?
@@kiwirar5885 i'd say it depends on the person
@@zoronic4345 Experience
The coiled sword is more than a weapon. Its a symbol of how something created as a weapon has evolved into a central tool of keeping the world alive. Even if it no longer serves its original purpose, it now serves a much greater one.
The onyx sword from the game is pretty cool looking. You can tell the developers really put time in designing some of these swords, maces, axes and hammers
You should try building the Gae Bolg (a mighty spear from Irish mythology) or an Executioner Sword
If you had to pick one though
@@ThatWorks Probably Gae Bolg, since I'm interested in what would be your interpretation of it.
Absolutely gorgeous!
What would happen to the sword of you were to leave it in the centre of a bonfire for a long time? Would the sword weaken and break from the heating and cooling?
something like that actually exists in dark souls 2! the primal bonfires have been around so long that their sword has melted in half - at least thats what i always assumed
i imagine you'd get a lot of deformation over time just from gravity and the weight of the blade
Damn... Now I wanna see them making the Mea Culpa from Blasphemous
Me too
A highly deatiled hilt i see
Doesn't that sword have thorns in the handle just like the start of the blade?
The handle is the picture of the virgin mary
@@aaronbustamante9282 Well, then I said nothing.
Letting the ashes fall out of your hand at the end was a nice Dark Souls touch
Watched roughly 30 videos before realizing I wasn't even subscribed. A video showed up on my feed a couple of weeks ago and they kept showing up. Now subscribe. I love videos and channels like this.
I physically need a great sword of judgment
Odd
I'd really like to see you guys build the AC Valhalla version of Excalibur. They reimagined it to be a relic from the first civilization instead of just a normal sword.
Hmm interesting
I can’t believe they were able to accurately capture the absolute crustiness of the coiled sword in real life
this is the most beautiful piece i have ever seen
Props to the smith on that great work. Very talented
Setting up the sponsor I thought he was gonna say it was grinder xD
lol
Prithee, be careful. I don't want to see m' work squandered!
literaly everyone: link the flame, ashen one
me: nah, but im keepin dis sword
so freaking epic looking sword the details are
exquisite, pure art.
When you said that you have to quench the chisel every few hits so that it doesn't "lose its temper"... I finally understood where that figure of speech came from!!
An interesting way of turning a sword in to not-a-sword
very true. to be fair its not a weapon in the game but more of a key
@@ThatWorks actually in Dark Souls 3, there's the firelink greatsword which is litteraly a thicker version of the coiled sword
@@WinterJack15 well yes but if you were fighting someone who was wielding say, a long sword, would you rather a regular long sword or the firelink greatsword?
@@nahrikkon i'll just go with lothric knight straight sword or the frayed blade
@@WinterJack15 bro they frayed blade? Would literally brake immediately if someone parried a thrust or slash
Me at 9:07:
Dear god, he's going to coil it before sharpening it? The absolute madman
Me at 10:05:
Oh.. I guess they just aren't sharpening it? Coiled club?
I mean to be fair a coiled sword is only useful as a club anyway so…
Any exotic sword from Destiny 1? Preferably either Young Wolf's Howl, Raze Lighter, or Dark Drinker
Hard to believe that we haven't yet.
Love the finesse and high quality of work you guys put into these weapons.
putting Johannes Bornlöf's music in man at arms' videos was literally the combo i didnt know I missed from my life
I like how blacksmithing today has basically turned to "I'm gonna make the least practical weapons that still somewhat resemble real weapons"
well the weapon is practical in where it comes from, its literally a sword that is lit ablaze by the the first flame, and during the soc boss fight its still smoldering hot like it just came out of a furnace, its more of a burning weapon, that & it can still impale you
@@tru3boc ………and the greatsword form has one secret power …………. To make you cry plin plin plon
To be fair I feel like we probably aren't going to be needing to actually use a sword in battle any time soon
