[AweMe]

The guys in the Man at Arms shop team up for this Orc challenge sword build! Let us know in the comments who you think is our winner!!

[ziziorens]

The older team has my vote. I absolutely love the design of the blade and the handguard, the finish, and especially how vicious it looks. All of the design choices fit the purpose of being an orc's weapon nicely and the sword just begs to be bathed in man's blood! Such a great job!

[harkinlarkin]

Glad to hear the Forge again. I missed the sound of hammers smashing on anvils

[Tharaldsen]

The old timers definetly. It looks like an orc sword, while the young guys looks like any old cutlass used by pirates or a curved falshion used by medieval brigands and raiders

[googleisinvasive]

One looks like it belongs to a mildly evil pirate, the other looks like it belongs too an Orc. This is a no brainer the older team did better by far.

[michaelwilliams]

The OGs won this hands down. There truly captures the essence of an orc sword made in Mordor or one made for the Uruk Hai at Isengard. Job well done by both teams.

[chriscormac]

the top one on the stand, the blade's very metal looks Mordorian in nature

[SyNiCaLLogic]

I would go for the more Orc look by the older team. The D guard on the other just made me think of an ominous pirate lord.

[kaseydick]

I really like the blade that the older team made, they have my vote.

[kelticknight]

Absolutely easy choice old school for the Win 🏆
It's more Wicked and the Skills to multi grind the different edges. Well done on both teams amazing craftsmanship
Cheers 🍻
Old school BKS Collector ⚔️🙏⚔️

[Its.Just.Sasquatch.]

Older team gets my vote! Love the blade shape.

[donovandelaney]

What if Elsa had a sword? Create a sword for Elsa.

[LarsEllingLunde]

Y'know, the thing I love about this whole presentation the most is the notion of a BKS commercial. We live in wondrous times, my friends. Oh, and I love Kevin & Paul's solution; it's very Uruk Hai art!

[omegahunter]

This was a great contest. It's a tough choice because both blades look amazing. However, I will give the EDGE to the Chicken Saw Orc Blade. The shape on that thing is terrifyingly brutal, perfect for a war hungered orc.

[stephenkuntz]

For seeing the Orc swords being forged, they bring the fine beauty of their own creation and breathing into life of the weapons they have brought in your own world.

And for the people of the Man In Arms, one would to inspect that they have the mighty smith of Dwarven Blood for being the master artist for bringing in their own greatest craftsmanship.

Man at Arms try not to disappear for months on end every year challenge: Level Impossible

[BeaglzRok]

Reading the title I thought it was going to be you guys smelting rings, and then ten minutes into the video I remembered that "Rings of Power" was a series that came out fairly recently XD

As far as sword preference, Gari and Andrew made a good mean-looking sword that could practically be made of a giant chunk of salvaged scrap, but Kevin and Paul got what feels more like a commander's blade with how much raw functionality and character they fit into the thing while keeping it intimidating without ridiculousness. I can imagine orc armies armed with Team G&A's sword design while the champions and leaders are granted Team K&P's design for outstanding prowess.

[Endless-fire]

I would like to see you guys make the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.

[dmen]

I absolutely love how you guys started from the basis of a Macieowski bible falchion. Don't see too many of those in the wild...

[Psyerntk]

I like the sword that the veterans made! 💯👍🙂
