    • @eiebsrebla
      @eiebsrebla 7 лет назад +3

      Bethel Vingthor I don't think they did necessarily. I mean it has a LOT more parts and was obviously way more difficult to assemble, but in terms of how awesome it looks and skill involved I still think this wins. Now obviously I'm not saying Optimus Prime's sword didn't require skill, clearly it was extremely difficult to make. But the sheer amount of detail in the engravings on this blade astonish me to a point where I still don't think they've surpassed it quite yet.

    • @Kishuy
      @Kishuy 7 лет назад +4

      the materials aren't that expensive but the engraving work is. won't be that high but it would fetch a high price. If you want a comparison, a roman Gladio engraved and with gold details starts at 3.500€

    • @CrusadeGamingTBO
      @CrusadeGamingTBO 7 лет назад +5

      You might want to check the prices on the Baltimore Knife and Sword website. It would be way more 3500
      They have a pattern welded Fantasy Hungarian Yatagahn that sells for $2200 and it's detailing is so basic compared to Excalibur.
      Matt's right, this is the best sword BKS has EVER made. I'd easily pay over $10000 for this sword. With a sword of Excalibur's quality, it's not the cost of the materials you need to worry about. It's the, more than likely, 100's of hours Ilya put into that engraving because that blade, it's fucking gorgeous!!

    • @spwicks1980
      @spwicks1980 7 лет назад +33

      The sword blade to make itself is something these guys make relatively easily. However the cost of a master engraver's time.... i would estimate somewhere between $5000 - $8000 depending on engraving detail. Well worth it though. Probably their finest build to date.

      They have. I used to use one. You can get both 'cutting engravers' and 'Lazer engravers'.
      You can also get some pretty sick results, but the thing is: it's so damn obvious when it's done from a machine. It looks lifeless and "printed".
      Work like this has much more of a feel and a look, you can literally see the skill in every tap.
      It's like the difference between an oil painting and something you pressed CRTL-P on, lol.

      For the kind of engraving done in this video, there absolutely are machines that could do it to perfection, we have the tech to make swords substantially more equal in terms of dimensions, solid and refined as anything hand made, the fact is a hand made is sword is just a lovely character piece, you know what went into it, it's a collectable as well.

    • @jamesaevermann9778
      @jamesaevermann9778 7 лет назад +11

      Rob M A fuller helps to lighten the blade since you're taking a good portion of material off, but also serves as a support structure strengthening the whole blade as well. Think of like an I-beam in construction. The fuller plays much the same role.

    It’s a great build... but on a channel that does countless movie/show swords and other weapons... WHY is their a picture of Clive Owen’s King Arthur if this is supposed to be a completely unrelated video game?
    It takes seconds to find a screenshot and superimpose it into the thumbnail, yet you use a misleading, unrelated movie, much more famous actor to promote a video that’s ALREADY being sponsored by one of those cheap mobile micro transaction games? It’s essentially the same actions that annoying clickbait kids use, but there’s no reason for it, it would be the same views regardless because no one even recognizes Clive Owen anymore.
    It’s more annoying than how Captain America’s Shield turned out. Why do these great works and efforts need stolen clickbait content when it doesn’t even generate any more interest than if you had used an image from the actual “game” that you’re making the sword from?

    I can say without hesitation that this is the finest sword Man At Arms has ever produced.
    If God were an engraver, He would bow down to Ilya's workmanship.

      ...except God's not an engraver, but yeah, He'd probably be at least a _little_ impressed.

      Well of course he's not an engraver considering he's nothing whatsoever. Oh, would that be missing the point?
      What Yonkage did there is called a metaphor, you know? Rather inane response there then.

      You know, Hitodama, it isn't typically a good thing to openly bash religion on the Internet. Unless you *want* to start a flame war, which is... okay, I guess...

      Nice Kill Bill reference, Yonkage. Well played.

      Curious if you're referring to me or Yonkage. If it's me you mean, I'll point out that the second bit is actually Greek for "Lord". Such as in "Kyrie eleison" or "Lord, have mercy".
      Some irony there eh? :V
      Anywho, I suppose I was a bit "triggered" as they call it over Yayas seemingly missing the point back then. Bashing religion doesn't really matter to me. It just annoys me when it seems human effort and talent is disregarded and/or misattributed to some god instead of the human themselves.
      And why yes, Hitodama is a "Japanese styled name". Technically it'd be written as 人魂 or ひとだま typically. Refers to souls that have left the body. I'm not Japanese, no. I'm also not Greek. What does that have to do with the name I choose to use though?

    If you guys uploaded an hour long video of Ilya just carving metal I'd probably watch the whole thing multiple times. That was astounding.
