Forging A Knight's Worst Nightmare - Rondel from [Dark and Darker]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2024
- Forging a rogues rondel dagger from Dark and Darker. This rondel is forged from low layer twisted damascus or pattern welded steel. Much like a Stiletto, the rondel is a more stout version of the spiked dagger . All of the hilt parts are forged as well. Matt even added a challenge by trying to forge the pommel from an old piece of rebar. We show how to spiral flute and wood handle for a dagger using nothing but files. There is blacksmithing and bladesmithing mixed with some carpentry wood working. This is a great DIY crafting video if you have any interest in making a rondel or any dagger.

Thanks for the love Matt! 🙏🏼
Well my normal request lol. Connor McLeod's Katana from the original Highlander movie
Nice job Matt ! Next ? Pertuisane ?

Помню когда-то Мэтт шлифовал и точил на гриндере работы других мастеров и Ильи в частности, а сейчас уже сам стал кузнецом и полностью производит изделия от начала до конца. Красавчик, так держать!
Beautiful piece. I bought a Tod’s workshop twisted Rondel dagger about a year ago. They just look and feel so purpose built.
Tod's are awesome! If you look closely I'm wearing his T shirt at the beginning of the build.
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.
Thank you! I agree! The wood spacer with some detailing just sets these daggers off!
You know i found this channel about a month ago and it didnt even click with man at arms in my head until recently but i gotta say i like this channel better, you show more of your work and actually bring us along with the project i tried blacksmithing as a hobby and got quite good for the tools i have at my disposal but i got 4 kids so i can at least watch yall do it and learn until the times get better and i can get back into it
Thank you! That's our goal! To show the processes in greater detail to help others gain the confidence to give it a try
Wow, what a inspiring piece of craftmanship!
Well done, and great outcome!
Great work, as always! Love the bold pattern of the low layer twist damascus. Very impressed with file work as well. Beautifully done.
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.
Wow. This one turned out especially beautiful. Fascinating.
That centre punch was absolute overkill... I want one.
I used to make them for sale. I'd be done to do another run if there was demand.
@@ThatWorks I'd be up for one of it happens
Beautiful dagger, love how crazy dangerous three sided blades are
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.
I remember watching ur old Videos, And seeing u do a Dark and Darker crossover was mind blowing. Glad i found ur channel again.
Welcome back! I'm glad you found us as well. I plan to do more and I play DandD almost everyday!
@@ThatWorks Subbed, can't wait for ur next project!
Wow! Your skills continue to shine and evolve. That is an absolutely gorgeous blade!
We truly appreciate this beautiful work. Thank you.
Your work has come a long way since I first started watching years ago! Beautiful work and I can't wait to see what new heights you grow to.
You merely adopted the darkness. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see light until I was already a man and by then, it just gave me sunburns. 😂
Stunning work! Great video.
You are too kind my friend
Beautiful work Sir!!
You bringing it back to welding temp after the twist is good I have to do that when making twisted wrought iorn rings cause they do shear a bit but nothing you can’t close back up if you do it proper you’ll weld all of it up leaving some beautiful twist in it
The move to sell some of your work directly on your website is a welcome one. I look forward to seeing the interesting pieces posted for sale!
We have sold stuff there for 4 years
Awesome build. Im curious about that part 2 you mentioned. Im hoping that means some sort of companion piece because this had a really nice style
That looks amazing! True craftsmanship!
It’s good to see you forging and making videos again, Matt.
Thanks 👍that means a lot. I went to a difficult place but I'm back now!
@@ThatWorks one of these days I want to stop by the shop again to show you the knife sheaths I’m making for your Journeyman set. At the moment I’m still in the drawing phase.
Repping that Tods Workshop shirt is awesome!
He is the medieval dagger goat
Amazing and beautiful dagger 💯❤️🙌
A Japanese sword with this color scheme would be pretty awesome. Seriously. People will shout "mall ninja" but the overall color scheme is very good, and a tsuba done in that style would be great for an anime villain.
The uniformity of that twist pattern is incredible Matt. Great job. Would love to see retribution from the nightangel trilogy.
Looks great!
Love that rondel dagger ❤
such a gorgeous piece of stabby goodness!
Thank you
Great work man!!! I love it!!!
I own a rondel dagger. It's a fearsome weapon. Easy as hell to imagine how devastating it is.
You guys make some incredible stuff! I love watching you guys work!
Thanks so much for your support
Well done Sir
Lovely work as usual, and the sandwich guard with roping is the highlight. I’m not sure I’d have gone with an octagonal shape over a hexagon, to compliment the threefold symmetry of the blade.
Todd’s Workshop shirt for the win 👊. When you said rondel dagger, he was my first thought. Killer work Matt.
Had to toss that little Easter egg for those that know
Good job
Nice work.
Awesome video!
Thank you! I hope to make a series out of Dark and Darker builds and have more streamers involved. Thanks for you great content! I watch almost every day!
It's just perfect.🖤🗿 One of the best gothic designs I've ever seen. Impressed, thanks for your work.
P.S. Are you still working with Ilya? Answer please. I really like the vibe🔥🔥 between you while working and your jokes.🤝🏿🗿
Nice work👌🏻😊
More actual work and skill went into this dagger than the entirety of dark and darker as a game. Fantastic work as always.
Lol thank you
Dude what...Ironmace has been working their asses off on DaD.
I would love to see you guys make a Dynasty Warrior like spear!
That is an awesome dagger
That's beautiful 👍👍
awesome build!
Thanks mr hobbit sir
@@ThatWorks lol
"Discover the magic that is gator piss" O M G I lost it at this line XDDDD
That has to be my favorite rondel dagger I’ve seen from any website/youtuber.
Sad to see Illya not here, hoping he’ll guest star in future episodes, but glad to see the quality is still here.
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.
We miss you Professor Elia from Bangladesh
That's dope!
That was prefect
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.
To be honest, when I made this the artifacts weren't even a thing yet. So yea future builds will most likely be those.
Great video. Hard to take the add seriously when they name themselves gator piss hahhaah i love it
🍻 cheers 🍻
Aaaaaaamazing work! 👏👏
Thank you very much ChaosWolfNinja! What a name!
awesome video
you know the riddle of steel!
42?
Where is Ilya?
Hi @kosoff !Ilya is now doing his own business!Greeting Bulat from germany 😊🤙
this question has been asked so many times but ive never seen them answer it
only thing i can think is Ilya left or is just done with the youtube part of the business and Matt is worried if he confirms that then the channel will take a big hit since alot of people were prob here for Ilya so hes just pretending its business as usual
@@BulatsSchmiedeany proofs? Links?
I’d continue to watch regardless… it’s great to ride along and watch Matt grow 😊
@@BulatsSchmiede I thought he would have retired to a remote mountaintop, where aspiring blacksmiths would have to make the pilgrimage to his workshop to learn the ancient techniques of the old masters.
Wheres Illia ?
Welcome back! Another amazing work!
Gator piss gives a finish similar to the CLR I use. (The calcium/lime/rust remover brand)
love this
Nice!
LOVE IT
Stormbringer, the stealer of souls
Wow absolutely Gorgeous 😍
Damn, that's nice.
I would love to see y’all make the Gerbera Straight katana from Gundam Seed Astray!
These videos always pain me, because I know that I'm going to love the process, the finished product, and will never be able to afford one.
19:10 Imagine a power hammer that actually moved that fast...
IIIITTTSSSSS BOOOOOLDDD!!!!!
I missed video like this)
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?
A must have weapon. I thought that those "knives" would have a more point to defeat all the fabric fur and leather.
Where's the rest of the crew? I miss the videos that include the whole shop helping on the project
Crew? They separated from BKT
Next video will be more of the crew!
I miss Ilya
If you ever do a "stilleto dagger" look up "deathbloom" its dark and darker's only named dagger and it has a cool design to it
Already planning on it
Beautiful work! What did you use to finish the wood parts of the handle?
Some leather dye then polished and waxed.
Please tell me more about that file handle you were using. I've never seen one like that before and it looked very old. Any sources on where to buy one?
It says right in the video where to buy one.
@@ThatWorks So sorry! I didn't notice it the first time. I was too busy watching the video.
Next, I hope you with your god's hand make Zapan's Damascus sword which now belongs to Alita the Battle Angels, thank you and good work
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.
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.
Holy wow dude that is AWESOME!
Thank you! It was a fun build for sure.
Awesome work Matt! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I left a review! Ha ha ha! Sincerely, Ben Dover.
I love the weapons you guys make. How bout making a viking sword next?
Funny you should mention that
Per chat request, I am asking here also for you to make a sword-breaker in the future. Thank you.
Awesome job Matt the dagger is sexy!!
Thanks brother
That piece is gorgeous! Great craftsmanship. Your ancestors would be proud!
Would it be possible to make Malenia's katana? (Ironically called Hand of Malenia.)
Ok so the rondel dagger was a renaissance/late middle age weapon. Kind of makes me wonder why it didn't come out sooner?
Because there werent armors entirely covering head to toe in steel yet
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
I'd like to see how ya'll go about making a Scottish dirk
beautiful work
I want to see you forge Ichigo Kurosaki's original Tensa Zangetsu before Bleach Thousand Year Blood War
were has Ilya been
Nice work Matt!😊
One good place to attack with those was the lower regions.
Have fun with that image.
