Forging Twillight's Edge - Blade and Soul
Blade and Soul: Revolution is out now ! bit.ly/ThatWorksBNS . Join us as we forge a fantasy Integral Katana from one solid piece of steel. Making this sword was a real challenge. Forging it on piece and then carving a ton of details into the handle. This video shows some great blacksmith forging and a ton of stock removal techniques to create detail. Blade and Soul did an amazing job designing this sword and it was fun bringing Twilight's Edge to life to celebrate the launch of Revolution.

What is the blade made of it...and If I went back in time 800 years would that sword be functional as combat weapon. I remember Aragorn's sword on man at arms and I think that one would be. I think this sword is beautiful just sure about functionality

You two working together must be just about the best team on the planet.
Well dang I’ve been watching these two create absolute master pieces for 7 years today, the first episode I saw was links sword on man at arms. They bring so much knowledge and creativity to everything they build and it is always awesome to see the process of forging done from stock to finish rather than just plasma cutting or CNC to do it faster. To me it showcases the craftsmanship and skill these two bring to the table. Keep up the good work and thank you for all that you do!

I think I put a suggestion for this up for man at arms years ago, not ever expecting it to be made. and now I am extremely overjoyed to see that it has come to fruition.
Somehow it hurts seeing the sword dragged through the dirt... Such a beatiful peace of art.

Many thanks and respect from Korea! This is absolutely a piece of art. Especially that handle and pommel reminds me of ancient Korean chivalry sword, 환두대도(Hwan doo dae do, which means big sword with ringed head).
*That handle looks absolutely gorgeous.*
Absolutely incredible. The grinds in that handle are so intricate and I still can't believe Ilya forged that complicated pommel out. So glad you two went your own way and started this channel
the smoke swirling, the background music and the smith checking out the sword after quenching it in oil give me chills.. nicely done.

The nice thing about steel is that, with the right welding skills, you can always add material back if you take too much off. Tig is probably the best at that because you can use the same steel used in the blade as fill and using an argon gas unit means that you don't burn up the carbon in the steel since the gas displaces oxygen.
One thing I'd like to see you change is volume levels, your voice is waaaay to quiet, especially compared to music which blasts the hell out of our ears

Yup, I was already mentally wording the comment in my head while watching, I'm glad I'm watching this at 3AM, 'cause if there was any amount of noise around I'd need to have the music blasting my ears to be able to hear him. The music is cool but we're here to see you guys make stuff, which includes hearing you talk about it, Matt!
Most satisfying part of a quench is when you pull it out and see that transformation in color.
Both of you never fail to do forges. It looks exactly in the game! ❤❤❤
I love how Matts grinding skills have such fluid movement and definitely understands how to see with your hands
Wow both of you really showed some serious artistry in this build
Nice work. The single piece instead of multiple pieces for the full build was rather interesting. One day I'd like to see The Harbinger done from the Fable game. Very interesting design for that one.
Recommendation: always show us the complete piece. It's cool to see the details, but we also want to see the general outlook of the sword/axe/katana. Amazing job as always!
Absolutely nailed it mate, such great work.

7:20 "it will cut" In all seriousness though, this is one of my favorite builds. I just love the way the handle is done.

The end sword looks really nice. The detailing work on the hilt and pommel look fantastic. Also, I may be in the minority, and I imagine that it's pretty difficult to capture, but I miss the sounds of the sword being forged, the music is okay and all, but I the sound of hammers and power tools ringing out as the metal gets shaped really helps with connecting to the video.
Beautiful work, amazing result, congratulations!!!
