After a while, I thought you guys were going to use the same techniques for pretty much every build. However, you keep on showing new and different techniques of creating materials. While doing this, you are not only entertaining us but you are also educating us by giving background information on the techniques that are used to make the sword. You guys deserve the best things in your career.

Seams like YouTube algorithm took a part from the audio again

[yuki-yuna]

I wonder how these guys sharpen a Pencil..

[mortem_random]

Not only making blades, but they also know the stories behind them, very detail. That's what makes me speechless. Like they make it for fun, but also put their heart. Super!

[galacticgaming]

Is it me or does anybody else think blacksmiths have the coolest job

[theodorolofsson]

I'm supossed to be playing overwatch but this one player is kicking my ass

[slingingfool]

I love how they went to the extra effort to make the shurikens even though the requests were for the sword

[bassambarak]

You guys could have taken this and made just yet another Katana but with a green tint, but you went the extra mile to make this a unique build so great job there.

Instead of yet ANOTHER Katana like some certain comments are asking though, why not something different like Corvo's Folding Blade, or the Dragonslayer Spear from Dark Souls (or better yet another weapon from Bloodborne, even if its a year out now. So many of those trick weapons would be amazing to see brought to life, it'd be a shame to just stop at the plain jane Saw Cleaver.). Maybe after the work on this, just take the plunge and attempt to create the Moonlight Greatsword from ALL the Soulsborne games.

Always looking forward to another Historical build too if that ever happens. Maybe even another Shield. There's some amazing shield designs out there in the land of geekdom.

For all you know, these guys may only main torbjorn...

[troyfraker]

[christiansantos]

I didn't understand what they were explaining but damn, I'm here to watch their satisfying work of art ❤️

How is this not a show on history channel or discovery
