    Toss a coin to your blacksmith and share this episode ! We worked super hard on this video and can proudly say it’s our best work yet! What say you? Is it worthy of The Witcher himself?

      You should be proud, it’s a shining example of just how much talent you guys collectively bring to the table. With as much work as you put in to each step, you should consider releasing these in deep dive parts, each like 10 mins long then release a super cut of them all with the demolition. I easily would watch a 10 min vid just covering the broach as well as one that goes over assembly and detail work done handle, guard, etc. One long video like this is really easy to skip through and miss things on, and I feel like it was hard to navigate to parts I was interested in, so a format like that would also might help maximize the viewer experience too! Either way, much love!

    When a humble bard
    Graced a ride along
    With slavic smith Ilya
    Along came this song
    Of when the brave smith wrought
    A silver sword's bevel
    His arm wielding hammers
    Winding up to head level
    Then came a sword hilt
    Of pattern welded steel
    Broke down some wood and
    The handle was built
    As the anvil's horn
    Took the hammer's beat
    So cried the blacksmith
    Need one more heat
    Toss a coin to your blacksmith
    Oh valley o' plenty

      InstrucTube don’t get me wrong, around the 5:20 mark when he starts working the steel? Captivating doesn’t even begin to describe it. And his ability to hand bevel, it’s unreal. My point was more that the video spent a solid 5 minutes showing the prepping of the steel (which is fine if you like that much detail on the process, everyone has their own kinks), I just would have loved the same detail to have been shown to the other equally as intricate parts as well.

    I watched man at arms religiously and it even helped me pass my practical exam in mechanical engineering where we had to weld, and shape metal. I watched every single episode and i didn't really know what happened to it and was just at a loss when i couldn't see any new videos. Ilya is the reason im so fascinated with sword smithing and i hope this channel reaches greater heights. Love you Ilya

    I've never seen anyone do an egg for test cutting, and I'm not entirely sure why I'm so impressed by cutting the egg in half with the yolk distinctly separated in the two halves of the shell instead of just being thrown about, but I am.
