Tengen Uzui's Nichirin Blades : [Demon Slayer] Season 2
The making of Tengen Uzui's Nichirin Blades from season 2 of the Demon Slayer Anime. Much like the making of Tanjiro's Katana, this video is shot more like a documentary of the San Mai Japanese bladesmithing kitchen knife only much much longer. Tengen duel wields a pair of large Nichirin blades that are connected by a chain. We forge the blade from wrought iron from the 1800's with a high carbon edge insert using the hot dog in the bun technique. We forge the blade and grind and polish it. The quench for the heat treat is in water. We made the Tsuba in tachi style with layered sepa and a raised copper border. We forge some bronze for the rest of the fittings. I think this Wide katana or huge kitchen knife came out very well and represents what the sword from the Demon Slayer Anime would be like in the real life if it were to exist. With next season of demon slayer coming, how fitting is it's name "To The Swordsmith Village" ?

Canonically, in Demon Slayer the swords the Corps receives are made with very specific techniques made by a very small number of extremely talented swordsmiths. Every single one is a work of art on its own, and the smiths get *very* mad if anything ever happens to one.

Not just a decorative piece but a functional and true piece of art. Ilya and Matt are without a doubt, the finest smith's I've ever seen and it's always a pleasure to watch them work and to be educated by them.

I really appreciate that you guys always go the extra mile to show the more realistic versions of some of these anime weapons. Everybody who watches anime should know how ridiculous some of these designs are. The fact you can capture such a close likeness with real techniques not paint and fake parts that would just fall off or fade if the weapon was actually used is why you guys are some of the best on the platform.
It is a privilege to watch Ilya work, the attention to detail, the dedication to a mostly forgotten art, the respect for traditional practices. Everything put together is a pleasure to watch an artist at work. On top of that everyone else's work is also amazing to watch.

Tengen Uzui will be proud of this build. Bet he will sneak at night when no one is around to steal that art, besides he is a Shinobi. 💯👌🏽
I love his sword the most out of all the swords in the show, absolutely stunning
my favorite thing about you guys even when you were at the other channel is that you didnt shy away from non traditional weapons nor did you complain. you did this because it was what you got into the job for creating art weather it be real or not, youve touched real weapons to stuff from movies and anime and games.
鬼滅の刃ファンというだけでなく、しっかりと日本刀の構造、美しさを理解されて作っている姿に感動しました✨
I love how the blade has three color tones, and the delicious demo.
Your commitment to traditional techniques and showing every step of the process to the best of your ability really is impressive. Keep up the excellent work

Ilya lecturing about rod iron and ancient smithing is always pure gold
It honestly makes me happy seeing someone try to keep old techniques alive, you never know when they might become useful again or just simply a showing of how it used to be done and how we got to where we are now
Fantastic work as always guys. These episodes that strike a balance between historical and pop culture always tend to be some of my favourites. As far as episode ideas go id really like to see a build that explores some unusual techniques that we haven't really seen from you guys before. Theres plenty of examples both pop culture and historical that i think could be good for that but the one that comes to mind at the moment is the Godskin Peeler from Elden Ring. I feel like between the shotel like blade, the double sided nature, the corkscrew like spike and the detailing on the handle and fittings that it would offer plenty of opportunities to do some really interesting work
always amazing seeing you guys work the fantasy build and definitely taking the time showing the process on camera.
This here is what it looks like to put your heart and soul into something, absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for putting so much time an effort into something like this to share with us

THE ART AT IT"S BEST ! You've put so much heart and soul in this work and this sword look so cool 🔥🔥🔥
Love the more “realistic” look you give the pop culture projects, they always turn out so cool!
Hello from Russia, I watched all the seasons of this beautiful anime and I can say that the blacksmiths there love their work so much that they hid from everyone. But you...I don't even have the words to describe what you have created with your own hands. This is not just a large and weighty kitchen knife, it is above the usual word masterpiece. I have been following your channel for quite a long time and I can safely say that you are raising the bar of your splendor higher and higher. I wish you great luck and will continue to follow your channel)
Another fantastic video! All the way from the actual craftsmanship in the sword, to the video itself with the filmography, editing, and music.
A lot of work in the planning and interpretation that paid off big time. Appreciate your hard work.
I love this build, i really enjoy seeing the time and progress that the blade travels through to get and end point. So satisfying. 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome seeing a full build again...been a while...thanks Guys
So glad to see IIya his skill is unmatched
Amazing work as always guys ! Really enjoy seeing the piece come together and the editing of the video as well !! Both a joy to watch!!
Ilya is an amazing smith, sone of your guys’ builds made me start forging a few years ago, and it’s not easy with just hand tools but wow you guys do great work.
I really love your narratives as you show the build process. Really gives meaning to the whole video and the essence of your mastery!
More phenomenal work, guys! Thanks for the hard work and stellar careful craftsmanship!
Love the passion and the attention to details, you guys are the best at doing those builds !
After the Man At Arms videos stopped (or even slightly before that), I lost touch with you guys. So glad to see you're doing your own thing. I'm eager to explore this channel.
I think that's what I like best about the pieces you guys make. You see other people who use paint or other impractical means to make their pieces look exactly like they do in the anime or video game they come from and they come off looking like cheap toys. On the other hand you guys use traditional methods to make a real world interpretation and as a result your pieces look... well, real.
Gorgeous work, gentlemen
Thank you sooo much for this build!!! I've been wanting to see someone actually make it since I saw the anime!! :)
Great video as always. Loved the phone call portion. It was a great way to start my day, before heading into the shop. I just hope Tsetsco, shows up while I'm working. That would be cool.
