I love the wood spacer in the guard. That’s a cool touch, having it visually mix with the wood of the handle. Great job brother.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I'm not a blade Smith just a fan of the creativity you both have. Illya is the most talented artist I have ever seen.

Absolutely brilliant! The symmetry and cleanness of the pattern is a sight to behold. As for the handle, as a hole, what a beauty! That ff disc is a killer. Fantastic job, really glad for the new video.

That's a great looking piece of wood, the stain and oil really gives the whole rondel more pop. I also like you went with the uniform triangular blade to show off the symmetry of the damascus.

Much respect for continuing to challenge yourself! i like that you used a lower layer-count to create the look you wanted rather than use the "more is better" approach.

@jaquigreenlees

3 ай бұрын

I agree, Illya's contribution is missed and the quality of the builds is still there. I can understand why Illya has stepped back though, being a Master Armourer and only ever being asked to produce blades doesn't help him grow in his craft. Where is the request for a scale mail suit of armour? Or plate mail? or even ring and chain mail? For a shield? Helmet? With Illya being focused on all of those and never getting to actually build them by request it is understandable why he has stepped back to focus on them, sad he has not chosen to bring us along on his journey to explore his craft.

Amazing Build! as far as other weapons from Dark and Darker I'd want to see, it would be the Arming Sword. hope to see more builds form this game, cuz yeah they have a lot of Good ones! also a fun challenge you might want to take on if you are going for More detailed Builds is to try and recreate the Artifact weapons. they are the highest grade of Weapons in the Game and are Magic variants of the normal weapons.

Matt, you're cool as f***, dude .

Gator piss may etch you a depth on a blade, but will not not darken the pattern on it. also if you need a perfect forge weld, why not a cover gaps between sheets with TIG weld? or weld a tin sheet piece over them to prevent an air inside a packet?

Still no Illya?

Rondel daggers didn't punch through armor - unless you mean mail. They were used to go between the gaps in plate armor - and they did so very effectively. No need to give the dagger a magical property it didn't possess.

@ThatWorks

I knew I should have driven this through a piece of metal in the demo. Yes it was meant to find the gaps in armor but it certainly can be driven through plate if needed. At least cheaper foot soldier armor.

The rondel paired best with a full mitten gauntlet often used by the armored knights known to carry these daggers to defeat ring mail, puncture visors and gaps, etc. Matt Easton's channel Scholagladitoria has a great video on rondels, and so does Tod Cutler's channel, Tods Workshop. Tod actually males them and tests them in several videos
