He lives in 高雄 gao hsiung, and sometimes he will go through rituals like climbing up towers with ladders supported by blades. He will also light joss sticks to pray and ask if he could use human bones that were not identified or taken back by anybody to forge swords. Would love if he could make a sword, deffo sharp and flexible.
@@hu4ngming Hey there, thanks for the info. May I check with you if 郭师傅 has a video on that? I really need to know this, please. I had a dream some time back, that there was someone climbing up a ladder made of blades, and up there he was doing some prayer. There was a table with statue covered in red cloth? I can't remember the details. In the dream, I was curious and I tried to go near, and the man turned and told me: "you're not supposed to be here". The dream ended there and I woke up. Then I dreamt about him again another night, with the same details. I get to stay a bit longer this time, and I think he was telling me that he needed permission to use the bones, before he turned around and told me: "why are you here again?". The dream ended at this point and I woke up. When I read your reply, I can't help but remember this. Before this I keep thinking that I saw some video that leads to the dream, and I tried to look for the video alike with no success. Thank you for taking time to read this.
There's something about a Jian that's just so beautiful to me. I've watched this video probably 5 times now and never get tired of seeing the craftsmanship that went into it.
how about instead of shouting what we want them to do and shout what they HAVE to make. lets just take a moment and say that they do a great job and it all looks very awesome. the comments section is flooded with people crying out for them to do stuff.
I hope this isn't true, as a straight sword like Jian will need the stiffness to properly function. A flexible sword is great for training and demonstrating fajin. However, if you stabbed and the sword flexes, then all that energy will just be wasted flexing(and possibly breaking) the sword rather than it going to puncturing the target.
@ComocosonoEWL Not quite metal clubs. That myth was created because knights wore full armors(only for a short time in history but that's a whole another story) and people thought knights would use their swords to bash away. Which turns out to be false as knights had actual smashing weapons(think mace, axe, and etc.). The swords were side arms for the most part used to cut, slice, and stab. So think smashing to cut like an axe, slice like you would when cutting with a kitchen knife, and stab like... well just stab. Depending on the design of the sword you would do one of the three more than the others. In the case of the jian it would be stab.
@@jaskey Whippy swords are more of a modern wushu thing. I agree it would limit a blade functionality to stab. That whippyness was more historically seen in wider and longer two handed cutting oriented swords and never too that degree.
+Achw3l yes! we need more guys that actually compliment the work rather than requesting another one. this sword is gorgeous over the top! you guys outdid yourself again
Holy shit guys, bravo. That was probably one of the best episodes. The sword and jade was absolutely stunning and kudos to the camera/editing team for the new angles and slow-mo shots ^^
Of all the many pieces I've seen this shop make I have to say that THIS is my favorite one. The sheer amount of skill that went into making this piece alone was a thing to behold but then the end result is absolutely lovely.
+Ps2eterno Would be fun if they were actually usable as well. I like the huge builds that they make, but having usable weapons is in my opinion even more interesting.
The Master who made the sword for the movie's usage used human bones (praying and asked for permission), then clamped iron around the steel (DK what number), to emulate our arms (flesh wrapped around the bones).. Hope it value adds 🙏
Holy freakin shit. He HAND CUT the jade AND HAND CARVED on it that piece. That looks like a fucking boss at work, I mean id pay good money just to see him do that again that was amazing GJ!
Oh hey! Damn you actually wrote back! Man this was amazing to watch you are extremely talented!!! I don't have a lot of time on my hands to watch videos these days but sure as hell this was fun to watch on a lunch break, it's always nice to see the dedication you out in to this build and I just wanted to show my appreciation for such fine craftsmanship. You told dude you and all the AWE me team!
+NJ Avrg. Thanks. I try to pop in when I can, answer any questions on my carving participation parts. We always appreciate the feedback and that you enjoy what we do! Rock On!!
but do the one handed version, i think its easier, cheaper and not so big as the two handed one, i feel if you do the two handed, its going to troublesome and too big or heavy and you cant wield it properly.
Holy shit.. This sword is so beautiful! I would have liked another close up on the blade in the reveal to really see the etching, but damn. You guys really outdid yourselves with this one. Good luck topping this for awhile.
Hi Matt and Crew Fantastic build. You guys should really be inducted in the Hall of Fame for Sword making!! I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you so much for entertaining us, every time. Regards Gerann
Blade wasn't full 1080+ like most swords they make. Had it been thinner by virtue of higher carbon resistance they might have been able to actually grind the whole thing even, paint the etchings and do a hard angle sharpening. After all this thing is supposed to be paper thin.
+VV_ Antares yeah I just noticed it the green on the blade is missing.for me this sword is the most harder than others sword they ever made. hard to forge all the detail. I would rate 79% -should be thin, color missing, should be a bit lighten and flexible perhaps. but it was a great epic work guys thumb up
Without a doubt the best combination of smithing and lapidary carving I have ever seen. Jade is no joke it's very slow and delicate work, amazing patience and skill.
Men at Arms (or should I say AWE Me?) I am a relatively old fan (even though I haven't subscribed until recently) and I love you videos and hsve shared them with all of my friends!! It it truly amazing to see you transform metal (be it steel plates, a sheet of aluminum, or even a bin full of scissors!) into a elegant sword, a legendary sheild, and even a giant scissor blade! There is one sword I would love to see you make (or rather, one of two swords) They are the rider's blade Brisinger! (from Christopher Paolini's book series The Inheritance Cycle) And/or The rider's blade Zar-Rac (also from The Inheritance Cycle). I have always wanted to see either one of these blades as actual blacksmith's impressions of the swords, and not as movie props. (By the way, I am talking about the book versions, not the movie versions) I hope You read this comment and consider making either one of these. Regards, EagleFlyer
Corvo's sword: Dishonored; The Crucible: DOOM; Blade of Olympus: God of War; Silver Dragon knife: Far Cry 3; Mace of Molag Bol: Skyrim; Grappling Hook: Just Cause
Er, this sword is very beautiful, but it doesn't look like the Green Destiny nor does it function like a jian(4). This is more like somewhat older Chinese warswords, although those would be 2-handed.
This was the most beautiful piece i have seen yet. It holds a special place for me not because it is the Green destiny, but because I wondered how my own sword was made. It is still my pride to this day.
Unfortunately this one looked slightly rushed. Especially the paint job on the grip, and there is no green/black shade behind the dragons on the blade, to add background contrast to their silhouettes (the original had this). The guard and pommel - peen block look good though, pretty great job on that jade, and I do like the striations on the blade itself even though they didn't appear on the original as far as I remember. But the main thing is, the flexibility. This is too much of a traditional sword, the main point of the Green Destiny was how thin the blade was, requiring immense control to avoid having it bend and cut yourself, but also allowing it to cut through other metal and swords with ease. It was almost as thin as an Urumi blade (infamous sword-whips of India).
good damn job. the carvings so beautiful. i would love to see another type of swords or weapons like no dachi, estoc, naginata, halberd etc please make chosokabe motochika's anchor spear from sengoku basara series
I want to see an Ilya spirit of the blacksmith sword. Forged with locks of his hair, an original. So if you want to kill his ghost you have to find and destroy his sword.
the moment when Ilya pulls the sword from the quenching tank, slow mo smoke, thats just magic ...wow
He is magical.
The advanced level of craftmanship in these artisans are ethereal!
You guys should have your own museum displaying your arts!!
Fun fact: the original Green destiny in film is made by Taiwan swordmaker Kuo Chang-hsi 郭常喜.
Wow, this is really a trivia! Thanks :D
He lives in 高雄 gao hsiung, and sometimes he will go through rituals like climbing up towers with ladders supported by blades.

I think he keeps the actual one he forged in his museum as well so visitors can go and see it too.
i need to find that man
The blade is absolutely stunning , very beautiful sword, one of my favourites that they have done so far, very nice work.
That is a formidable sword. You guys at Baltimore Knife and Sword keep blowing my mind with your forging skill.
This is one of the best things on youtube, the most is garbage but you guys, your work is admirable pure art you create
+Diego Morales check out "michaelcthulhu" ;)
I also enjoy Michael's work

+Kyle repz :)
There's something about a Jian that's just so beautiful to me. I've watched this video probably 5 times now and never get tired of seeing the craftsmanship that went into it.
That sword was an absolute work of art, simply beautiful.
the pattern on the damascus was beautiful at the end
+Mayer Yedid yeah the sword is too beautiful to use for combat of any sorts
wanted to say the same. such beautiful clean lines, plus the contrast with the bright dragons. truly awesome
Forjado a fuego
how about instead of shouting what we want them to do and shout what they HAVE to make. lets just take a moment and say that they do a great job and it all looks very awesome. the comments section is flooded with people crying out for them to do stuff.
The sword is suppose to have some flexibility, which is a very traditional way of a Chinese sword

I agree with you. For Green Destiny, it needs to be flexible, bentable, and thin sword..
So how many of you “experts” were there when they were used to see it all first hand?...
ofc that jade pice is made of pure skill GG to that man who made it looks amazing
Thanks!

Köszönöm!!
Mikune Oda are you blind.it looks like a 12 year old carved it
Holy moly... THIS sword is probably the best sword you dudes ever crafted. Such artwork and skill. Nice job.
I think this is the best build so far and the cinematography of the show has just gotten much better too
the jade work was incredible holy cow
I got chills from the sword reveal. Absolutely stunning work guys. Insanely beautiful craft
+Achw3l yes! we need more guys that actually compliment the work rather than requesting another one. this sword is gorgeous over the top! you guys outdid yourself again
Holy shit guys, bravo. That was probably one of the best episodes. The sword and jade was absolutely stunning and kudos to the camera/editing team for the new angles and slow-mo shots ^^
Holy shit, this is easily one of the finest and most intricate blades made on this channel.
That's gorgeous! I was particularly impressed with the attention to detail shown by all of the craftsmen involved. That is a seriously beautiful sword
I feel like these episodes should be much longer to get in more details on their work. I love watching someone turn stuff like this into art.
lovin the new slowmo

yep ikr

HOLY HELL THAT SWORD IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Finished product wasn't what i was expecting, quite a different look that the original movie made sword.
Blade wasn't full 1080+ like most swords they make. Had it been thinner by virtue of higher carbon resistance they might have been able to actually grind the whole thing even, paint the etchings and do a hard angle sharpening. After all this thing is supposed to be paper thin.
+David White I see but then isn't that what was ment to be done to make a replica... So in essence this isn't the green destiny?
+VV_ Antares yeah I just noticed it the green on the blade is missing.for me this sword is the most harder than others sword they ever made. hard to forge all the detail. I would rate 79% -should be thin, color missing, should be a bit lighten and flexible perhaps. but it was a great epic work guys thumb up
+Soulpour777
NAWWWWWW
REALLY??
You're right, that being said, its still probably one of the prettiest in my opinion
Without a doubt the best combination of smithing and lapidary carving I have ever seen.
Jade is no joke it's very slow and delicate work, amazing patience and skill.
I think you guys should make your own version of the sword of Gryffindor. The one that appears in the Harry Potter movies was pretty underwhelming.
Wasn't an exact replica, but that blade etching (spelling?) is the sexiest thing i've ever seen
