Sometimes I feel bad for Illya cause he has to do almost all of this by himself but he should be very proud of his accomplishments since according to Karry, he's almost completely self taught and he's an absolute master in his craft of both forging and engraving

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.

I’ve watched every episode of Man at Arms multiple times. This sword has got to be the most beautiful piece you guys have ever done. Absolutely incredible work all around.

With all the replicas of Excalibur, all the variations in design I have seen, yours I believe best represents what Excalibur was. Your creation definitely has the magic and represents the pinnacle of the armourers skills. Each of you imbued magic with your skill and sealed it with your living breath and created something greater than the sum of the parts. That sword will always represent Excalibur to me. Well done gentleman, well done.

But give him paper, pen and pencils and he can draw like he's getting paid for it. Ilya, though etching in metal, is amazing. To me, if you can create a design regardless of what it's on, you have my utmost respect.

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!!

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.
