Ilya and Matt knock another build out of the park. Thanks to Lincoln Electric and Harris Torches for being a part of this build ! Tell us what you want to see built next !
No disrespect to Men At Arms, but your Chastiefol looks 10 times more authentic, and props to Ilya for forging the whole blade out of 1 piece. You guys rock.
Yep, though still oversized this looks like a weapon, while the Men At Arms one looks more like a movie prop. Guess the old gang has a hard time finding someone as skilled as Ilya, but the AWE channel adds better video production to the balance. Both entertaining, both worth my subscription.
@@cmdrspiros7997 Eh... I mean I'd rather use this one, which is (mostly) forged from one piece, but from the way they were handling it and just looking at it, this thing is way to heavy to actually use effectively.
Finally found them....Man dont get my wrong. Men at Arms: Reforged was dope. But without Matt and Ilya it doesnt feel right. I hoped and search for them and now my search is over with.
I'll still watch both, as they are all very talented and I enjoy what they do. BUT, also glad to have found Matt and Ilya as no one does quality work like they do.
I really enjoy the in depth technical side Matt and Ilya bring to forging weapons, the detail and craftmanship is next to none and their interpretation on how the weapon would look like brought to reality from fictional world.
@@ThatWorks im assuming you guys dont do that to save time and maybe (again on assumptions) not everyone seems to have as much knowledge as he does but either way awesome build
I know a joke similar to the one you toldd. A man finds a genie lamp while strolling on the beach one day, and once rubbing it, a genie appears. "For releasing me," claims the genie, "I will grant you three wishes. However, your ex-wife will receive double your wish." The man ponders a small while, then is ready to wish. "First, I would like $10 million in jewels." "Done. You have two wishes remaining." At that moment, $20 million worth of precious jewels appeared before before his ex, and $10 million before he. The man replies with his second wish, stating "I want food to last a lifetime." Instantly, the man was surrounded with all sorts of confections. His ex, however, got 2 lifetimes worth. "What do you want for your final wish?" asked genie. "For my final wish," the man said with a smile, "scare me half to death."
Dont hate M.a.A though. They had to cut the expensive processes coz AweMe was involved with DEFY media scandal. The money that DEFY media embezzled was too much that AweMe cant afford Matt and Ilya's fees. Hence, the M.a.A Reforge's videos are meh or lacking.
Man at arms doesn't feel the same without these two. So glad that they have their own channel to continue with builds. Great video keep up the amazing craftsmanship
I watched the Man at Arms one first and they did an okay job, but my major complaint was they didn't do a single piece blade construction welding it like that gave it to big of a stress point to be a an effective long lasting weapon. I was super pleased to see the skill level of Ilya shown here.
BKS just made this same spear today, and (1) the cameras really make a difference, (2) glad to see you decided to forge as much of the weapon as possible instead of how Kerry's team did it (mill almost everything except for the very tip of the spear).
As someone who's complained about the hero shots before, I have to say, FANTASTIC work with this one! Great lighting, nice focus and framing, excellent use of slow-mo to really ratchet in on the details!
Having just seen the Man at Arms Chastiefol build, I was curious to see how you guys were going to go about forging the spear head, and I'm honestly impressed with how this turned out. Excellent work as always, guys.
I'd love to see some more builds based on book descriptions like you did with the sword from Eragon. Possibly any of the three swords of the cross from the Dresden Files series, or really anything where you have to take just written descriptions and use your own creativity and knowledge of swordmaking to make an awesome interpretation. A very different challenge than recreating from images it seems like
I love seeing large chunks of metal being worked like this. Every time, my brain says there's not enough material and yet, every time there's more than enough. It always fills me with a sense of wonder and awe.
@@ThatWorks totally brother love your work as well lets make some giant kunai, Shuriken or something like this 😎 DM me on Facebook or email adamceladin@seznam.cz cheers brother
@@AdamCeladin Windmill Shuriken! Naruto series! Before i ask that? Would it be possible to build it with the inner bearings so that the blades spin around the "handle" which is just the center ring in the shiriken. Sure would be sick though!

On and off again I have been trying to figure out where Matt and Ilya went with things for the past couple of months and today I found That Works! I'm so happy to see Ilya's expertise on the forge and Matt's mastery on the grinders! (Matt you're a great blacksmith too but your work on the grinder and finishing is just awesome!)
Just watched the new Man at Arm, was wondering why I was bored. Then I noticed Ilya and Matt were not there, did some research and found this channel. Instantly subscribed!
Same dude. Matt and Ilya were the most lively ones in the shop and the ones who did the most. It's a shame that whatever happened happened that caused a rift between the Matt and Ilya and the rest of Baltimore Knives
A few weapons I'd like to see in the future: -Erdrick's Sword (Dragon Quest series), shield optional. -Skana, Skiajati or Paracesis (Warframe) -Brave Blade and Chicken Knife (Final Fantasy V) -Ganon's Trident of Power (Legend of Zelda series) -Kabal's hook swords (Mortal Kombat series) -SCP-572 (SCP Foundation) -Luck Blade (Dungeons & Dragons) -Pyramid Head's Greatsword (Silent Hill series) (edit: nevermind this one, have already been reminded that Man at Arms already did it) -Rakuyo (Bloodborne) -any of Toth's knives (Nomad of Nowhere)

That Works channel is a passion project of Matt and Ilya.
@@ThatWorks if you want help with that I'd love to make that happen. I have a few ideas that might work to make the blade collapse and incorporate a firing gun. Don't worry, you can manufacturer a functional firearm so long as you don't sell it. Although I think this would be classified as an any other weapon.
Only just found you guys after you left Man at Arms, but I love the new channel. There's a feeling of... elegance to these longer videos that really catches my attention and keeps it. Looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of time catching up on your stuff!
That spear looked heavy. Took a lot to get it moving. I'd love to see you take fantasy weapons and make them more practical. Good job on this. The brass work looks awesome.
The design is already practical. It's just Thicke that it needs to be to make it easier to animate/draw. Also it doesn't need a metal shaft. It's silver/metallic in the anime but king use magic to levitate it. Probably couldn't hold it with his hands since he hase literally 0 physical strength.
The spear is based off a anime weapon, the spear is magical and isnt used by King with his own hands, he wills it to attack and fly around in the air, he doesnt swing it with his own hands and no one else can use it.
Maybe they can work with @Shadiversity with his weapons redesigned series? Shad has made videos of "overly fantasy" weapons and made 3D models of those swords if they were made into functional weapons while still holding on to the aesthetic that makes them recognizable
Recommendation for next build: For honor, warmongers zweihander and glove. since that recently released and maybe ubisoft might be interested in sponsoring ;)
With the new Dune movie coming out, I'd love to see you guys try a Crysknife from the series. The books say they were made from the tooth of the sand worms of Arakis, so maybe bone or ceramic would work. Not technically forging, but an interesting challenge.
A beardless Ilya is so different. I don't know how to feel about this edit: It'd be sweet as hell to see your fantasy take on a classic halberd. With some good pokes and slashes to it
Ilya's attention to detail and artistic skill will never not impress me, regardless of what the project is. I hope he continues to come back for artistic builds like this, but regardless I sincerely hope he never stops creating art. Edit: I don't mean to downplay the incredible work the rest of the team does too! The end result wouldn't be nearly as incredible without everyone who was involved.
what happen? are they not in good terms today? sorry, idk the complete details. I watched the latest episode of man at arms recently, & I was wondering where matt & Ilya were, & then, youtu.be recommendations led me here. 😁
@@j.vince.can28 awe me gave a boot to BK&S took over man at arms after they had made the series fan favorite, so BK&S decided to make their own channel and thats how that works was born... later on awe me brought BK&S back as everyone stopped watching man at arms after the team was gone however matt and illya decided to stay
This build was epic. May I give a request of Alexander Anderson’s holy blades from hellsing Literally 3/4 of the replies are about hellsing ultimate abridged, I am truly proud of this community
Thank you. Snaga would be a relatively simple build. Double headed axe of an interesting shape. Silver inlaid runes. But the Swords of Night and Day are very ornate, with jewels and a single scabbard that has a locking mechanism. Would be interesting to see how short you'd have to make them so you could wear the scabbard on your back, while still being able to draw them both at the same time, like Skilgannon does in the books. Would probably be around Roman Gladius lengths.
@@ThatWorks Have you guys thought of doing more Star Trek stuff? Thy'lek Shon's Ushaan-tor blades(Enterprise) comes to mind, but also the Terran Emperor's sword(Discovery) and the Tholian Crystal sword(Star Trek Online).
Production is very much different but somehow it fits very well. It's a lot more soothing and and the more subtle editing contrasts what's being shown. I actually prefer this over the other plus the build looks a lot better!
It's amazing to watch Ilya work... I know he makes everything look simple but the way he turned out two perfect circles from that round stock was so clean and fast. Can't teach that kinda stuff.
The version I heard was he got 3 wishes. The first wish was 10 beautiful women, the second one was a large penis, and the last wish he asked for his sex drive to be cut by half.
@@ThatWorks True, there are probably at least 1,001 variations of that joke the one I heard involved the guys wife getting double what he was granted :P Regardless it's been awhile since I heard it and Wound up blowing really warm coffee through my nose as soon as he hit the punchline. Good times ^.^
Another joke like Ilya's that I heard: Medieval Polish farmer finds old lamp in field. Rubs lamp, genie pops out. "I grant you three wishes," says genie. Polish farmer thinks and says, "I want the Mongols to invade Poland." Mongols invade, pillage farmer's field. Genie says "Still have two wishes." Polish farmer says, "I want the Mongols to invade Poland." Mongols come back, burn farmer's hut. "Now what?" asks genie. "I want the Mongols to invade Poland." Mongols come back, kick over ruins of farmer's hut "Why waste your wishes?" asks genie. "Every time Mongols invade Poland," says farmer, "they go through Russia twice."
Awesome build guys! I'm always happy to see you guys and learn a lot with every project. How about you try and do Lu Bu's Halbeard, from the Dinasty Warriors series? Anyway, awesome video!
Glad Kerry and the MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED crew finally uploaded a new build (hope it continues and not because it's sponsored). And you guys just made it better with this latest build. Keep it up guys!
@@benlevitt5017 I can't answer for them but I think because they're already doing so much for this channel and doing more work for the other channel when they have other awesome blacksmiths as well, will be too much of a workload for the 2 of them.
Yup, I guess so. The setup, tools etc. are still the same. They're just not present for the Reforged intro cause they're not part of the crew that will forge weapons for the AWE ME show. Fyi also, if you didn't know. The company/MCN that owns AWE ME before actually went bankrupt that's why they've stopped making videos. I don't know if BNK runs it now or a different company.
This may come out as a bit strange.....but I absolutely love the close up shots and being able to see the little imperfections here and there. This a gorgeous piece (just like everything I've seen you guys build) and the little imperfections just make it that much better because you instantly know this was hand made/produced. Great work as always and keep it up.
I love watching Ilya work. Y'all are awesome. I was thinking, maybe y'all can reach out to Shad from Shadiversity and make some of his "fantasy swords made functional" 3D models to bring those models to life. Those can be held side by side with their typical off the shelf super fantasy versions.
If anyone can answer. Why have Matt and Ilya made their own separate channel from Man at Arms? Was there a falling out with Baltimore Knife and Sword? Or was it just time to move on? Just curious. Happy to see you have your own channel now and great work on the Kings Spear. I think you have done a better job i.m.o. compared to what Man at Arms just released.
I opened Man At Arms video today and saw that Matt and Ilya wasn’t there so I was confused. So I dig around a little bit and found some information. So according to Matt in a podcast, basically the network that (previously) owned AWE Me when bankrupted and everything came to a sudden stop. So Matt decided to make a new channel while Kerry wanted to wait to see if anyone would pick up the show. I watch both videos and I have to say, Man At Arms is not the same without Matt and Ilya.
Min Little Monster Thank you I’ve been curious about this but didn’t look into it. These foods were the heart of the forge for me. I’ll continue to watch both tho.
@@2991Draag I know that some of what’s going on has to do with Ilya winning some competition(s). Apparently Ilya started to get some recognition outside of the man at arms show and that started a rift. I guess Matt went with him?
The Irish have a version of that joke too. A farmer in the field finds a magic lamp. The genie pops out and says you get 3 wishes but what ever I give you I'll give your neighbour double. The first wish is for a fortune, to which his neighbour gets double. The second is for a beautiful wife, to which the neighbour gets two wives. The genie then asks him what his last wish will be. The farmer replies, "Okay now beat me half to death" The neighbour then dies.
Another beautiful and deadly build from master craftspeople. While it looks a little heavy the balance seems good and you know it's wicked sharp. I would have liked to see more the final fit an fitting stages, but what a great weapons and thanks for the build. It's weird not seeing you on AWE me, but they are doing great it looks like and I'm happy for all of you. Please keep up the great work.
What a wonderful build. Very accurate to the one on the anime. I wish you guys make King Arthur's Excalibur, the one that he used to fight Chandler, Cusack, Zeldris and Meliodas.
Once again another amazing project knocked waaaaaay out of the park. So happy to see one of my favorite weapons of the series come to life! I would love to see Diane's hammer next!

I'd love to see how these guys, if they were even able to, make Ivy's whip sword from Soul Calibur
greatone1939 I’ve had a plan to make that sword for 5 years now
the blood violet godsword from coiling dragon would be great
plus you wouldn't need to deal with the retracting parts from ivy's whip
In my opinion, there isn't anyone better than Ilya and Matt on RUclips
This is much better than the latest episode of men at arms reforged
well Matt and Ilya were the heart of man at arms so i'm not surprised^^
what happen? are they not in good terms today?
sorry, idk the complete details.
I watched the latest episode of man at arms recently, & I was wondering where matt & Ilya were, & then, youtu.be recommendations led me here. 😁
@@j.vince.can28 wondering the same
@@j.vince.can28 awe me gave a boot to BK&S took over man at arms after they had made the series fan favorite, so BK&S decided to make their own channel and thats how that works was born... later on awe me brought BK&S back as everyone stopped watching man at arms after the team was gone however matt and illya decided to stay
@@dangelnut see my comment above
Finally found matt and ilya, i really love all your works, full of dedication and passion
This build was epic. May I give a request of Alexander Anderson’s holy blades from hellsing
Literally 3/4 of the replies are about hellsing ultimate abridged, I am truly proud of this community
Oh yeah, The Paladin's Bayonets!
@@Thomas.Wright BITCHES LOVE CANNONS
ooO
@@Thomas.Wright I see there are people who also enjoy enthusiastic walks.
@@Thomas.Wright yes
The Kings are back! Best smithing channel out there.
Druss the Legend's axe Snaga or
Skilgannon the Damned's Swords of Night and Day.
Both are characters from David Gemmell's Drenai series of novels.
We are gearing up to do some pieces from novels soon. Good suggestion.
Thank you. Snaga would be a relatively simple build. Double headed axe of an interesting shape. Silver inlaid runes. But the Swords of Night and Day are very ornate, with jewels and a single scabbard that has a locking mechanism. Would be interesting to see how short you'd have to make them so you could wear the scabbard on your back, while still being able to draw them both at the same time, like Skilgannon does in the books. Would probably be around Roman Gladius lengths.
@@ThatWorks Have you guys thought of doing more Star Trek stuff? Thy'lek Shon's Ushaan-tor blades(Enterprise) comes to mind, but also the Terran Emperor's sword(Discovery) and the Tholian Crystal sword(Star Trek Online).
It's good to see you back in action! I missed those types of Videos!
Man do i love that 14in wheel, not sure how i lived without it
right ?!
Production is very much different but somehow it fits very well. It's a lot more soothing and and the more subtle editing contrasts what's being shown. I actually prefer this over the other plus the build looks a lot better!
I loved man at arm's but that works is so much better ❤️
Thank you!
Man at arms is posting now again
@@WardNightstone thanks I know I watched it 2 days ago
@@WardNightstone Matt and Ilya aren't on it though. Not sure what happened, but they were the best part of that show.
@@rebilacx Illya and Matt's brother had a disagreement about his hours so he left. Matt still works at BKS if I remember right
I am so glad to have found this team again. Thanks to Shadiversity for the shoutout to you guys, keep up the great work
Our pleasure!
How about the Ebony Blade from Skyrim?
The unique two handed ebony sword that's designed after an odachi.
Rennis Tora perhaps. We are actually trying to decide on a Skyrim or ESO build
@@ThatWorks here is a bigger challenge from skyrim, mace of molag bal
Dawnbreaker from skyrim would be an awesome build to see.
@@ThatWorks Then may I suggest the Chillrend? That sword is legend among the players and looks awesome.
@@DlaneVans they already did Dawnbreaker on Man at Arms
It's amazing to watch Ilya work... I know he makes everything look simple but the way he turned out two perfect circles from that round stock was so clean and fast. Can't teach that kinda stuff.
Joe Rogan right?!
Illya.... I thought the punchline was "How about you beat me half to death"
Perhaps that's not how it was told to him in his motherland
That's the version I've heard before. It probably doesn't work as having reminded him by using the bottom donut punch the hole though.
The version I heard was he got 3 wishes. The first wish was 10 beautiful women, the second one was a large penis, and the last wish he asked for his sex drive to be cut by half.
@@ThatWorks True, there are probably at least 1,001 variations of that joke the one I heard involved the guys wife getting double what he was granted :P
Regardless it's been awhile since I heard it and Wound up blowing really warm coffee through my nose as soon as he hit the punchline. Good times ^.^
Another joke like Ilya's that I heard:
Medieval Polish farmer finds old lamp in field. Rubs lamp, genie pops out. "I grant you three wishes," says genie.
Polish farmer thinks and says, "I want the Mongols to invade Poland."
Mongols invade, pillage farmer's field. Genie says "Still have two wishes."
Polish farmer says, "I want the Mongols to invade Poland."
Mongols come back, burn farmer's hut.
"Now what?" asks genie.
"I want the Mongols to invade Poland."
Mongols come back, kick over ruins of farmer's hut
"Why waste your wishes?" asks genie.
"Every time Mongols invade Poland," says farmer, "they go through Russia twice."
Yet another beautiful piece of steel. Loved the joke about the genie at the beginning too. Nice aside from the difficulty of the build.
Awesome build guys! I'm always happy to see you guys and learn a lot with every project.
How about you try and do Lu Bu's Halbeard, from the Dinasty Warriors series?
Anyway, awesome video!
Tessa's please
Gustavo rampazzo thanks and that could be fun
Or Lu Shu sword amd hook would be cool
Sorry Xu shu just realised what i had put
Mother of god I want that spear. That looked absolutely amazing guys! King's spear is badass.
Instructions unclear.:
Spear went through the table
Reid Witt :-)
Absolutely gorgeous spear! What exceptional craftsmanship!
J M thanks 🙏
If only Studio Deen worked this hard on animating the show...
Love that you two are still going strong.
Glad Kerry and the MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED crew finally uploaded a new build (hope it continues and not because it's sponsored). And you guys just made it better with this latest build. Keep it up guys!
How come Matt and Ilya aren't on the episode?
@@benlevitt5017 I can't answer for them but I think because they're already doing so much for this channel and doing more work for the other channel when they have other awesome blacksmiths as well, will be too much of a workload for the 2 of them.
@@roan5250 are they still working out of BKS? I noticed neither of them are present in the new intro
Yup, I guess so. The setup, tools etc. are still the same. They're just not present for the Reforged intro cause they're not part of the crew that will forge weapons for the AWE ME show.
Fyi also, if you didn't know. The company/MCN that owns AWE ME before actually went bankrupt that's why they've stopped making videos. I don't know if BNK runs it now or a different company.
They are no longer at bks
So glad you guys are back. Seeing this vid in my recommended feed made my day!
Awesome! be sure to check out a past builds too !
as always, i am hoping for: HeartsBane from GOT. The most beautiful sword ever made.
supertedogpriken that would be a ton of work for a show that left bad tastes in most watchers mouthes
This may come out as a bit strange.....but I absolutely love the close up shots and being able to see the little imperfections here and there. This a gorgeous piece (just like everything I've seen you guys build) and the little imperfections just make it that much better because you instantly know this was hand made/produced. Great work as always and keep it up.
Should do everyone of the seven deadly sins weapons and the Ten Commandments weapons as well.
Gallands weapon would be interesting.... well what is his weapon actually? I really don't know how to call it
dreadwing01 if we only had unlimited time
@@vadimblin I think it's a halberd
You guys got the 1up on your old mates
Always Looking forward on your creations
Grinning Emo Prods thanks bud
you should do a collab with alec steele some day
Heron Pereira some day
Boi the sound when you are light the torch is so damn satisfying
Also, let's hear it for balmore', the Greatest City in the World! Aside from 1924 St. Petersburg.
It has it's Charm !
I love watching Ilya work. Y'all are awesome. I was thinking, maybe y'all can reach out to Shad from Shadiversity and make some of his "fantasy swords made functional" 3D models to bring those models to life. Those can be held side by side with their typical off the shelf super fantasy versions.
If anyone can answer. Why have Matt and Ilya made their own separate channel from Man at Arms? Was there a falling out with Baltimore Knife and Sword? Or was it just time to move on? Just curious.
Happy to see you have your own channel now and great work on the Kings Spear. I think you have done a better job i.m.o. compared to what Man at Arms just released.
I think Ilya wasn’t happy with the situation for various reasons, and Matt went with him.
I opened Man At Arms video today and saw that Matt and Ilya wasn’t there so I was confused.
So I dig around a little bit and found some information. So according to Matt in a podcast, basically the network that (previously) owned AWE Me when bankrupted and everything came to a sudden stop. So Matt decided to make a new channel while Kerry wanted to wait to see if anyone would pick up the show.
I watch both videos and I have to say, Man At Arms is not the same without Matt and Ilya.
Min Little Monster Thank you I’ve been curious about this but didn’t look into it. These foods were the heart of the forge for me. I’ll continue to watch both tho.
@@MinLittleMonster1003 Thank you! I've been trying to figure this out for a while!!
Finally, i found you guys again. No disrespect to man at arms but the reasons man at arms great are both of you.
Becario Christian thank you! Glad you found us.
And now... man at arms is stealing the idea. What happened between the brothers?
thats what i want to know?
@@2991Draag I know that some of what’s going on has to do with Ilya winning some competition(s). Apparently Ilya started to get some recognition outside of the man at arms show and that started a rift. I guess Matt went with him?
That's silly. Iilia was fired from Baltimore knife
I'm so glad you two didn't vanish, I was panicking after not seeing you at MAA anymore, so glad I found you here today
Recommendation: the emperors sword from Warhammer 40k
UppityPeasant ooo snazzy
That's a really insane one.
So this is where you guys have been! New favorite channel.
The Irish have a version of that joke too.
A farmer in the field finds a magic lamp.
The genie pops out and says you get 3 wishes but what ever I give you I'll give your neighbour double.
The first wish is for a fortune, to which his neighbour gets double.
The second is for a beautiful wife, to which the neighbour gets two wives.
The genie then asks him what his last wish will be.
The farmer replies, "Okay now beat me half to death"
The neighbour then dies.
Slavlife
Super appreciate the spears you guys have been building!
MrMopbucket Spears deserve the spotlight !
Another beautiful and deadly build from master craftspeople. While it looks a little heavy the balance seems good and you know it's wicked sharp. I would have liked to see more the final fit an fitting stages, but what a great weapons and thanks for the build. It's weird not seeing you on AWE me, but they are doing great it looks like and I'm happy for all of you. Please keep up the great work.
Oh yeah this is the classic illya and Matt teamwork im used to. That spear looks amazing
Overall a beautiful piece. Brazing with a cutting torch is a rookie move.
That sound track is on POINT
Just came here from Man at Arms Reforged. Can't believe I didn't know about this channel till now. I've missed you guys.
I didn't know I needed this build, but now I'm glad I have it. I'd love to see a build of literally any weapon from Legend of the Dragoon.
Glad to have helped and good request
Great game
I've been looking for you guys for years ... im going to watch all your vids now that im here .
What a wonderful build. Very accurate to the one on the anime. I wish you guys make King Arthur's Excalibur, the one that he used to fight Chandler, Cusack, Zeldris and Meliodas.
Once again another amazing project knocked waaaaaay out of the park. So happy to see one of my favorite weapons of the series come to life! I would love to see Diane's hammer next!
Caitlin Hayes that could happen! Thanks for your support!
Me and my mate been looking for this channel for so long, finally found it. Missed you two guys!
