Correction: Gandalf was only the second owner of this blade. Even into the Third Age, the Orcs of the Misty Mountains knew the legend of this blade, naming it Beater, and they fled before it. It's mate was Orcrist, mayhaps borne by Ecthelion and used in his feared charge from the walls of Gondolin. But Glamdring was of higher honor, for it was the sword of King Turgon himself: lord of Gondolin, last of the hidden kingdoms. The inscription reads, in the runes of Gondolin: Turgon aran Gondolin tortha gar a matha i vegil Glamdring, gûd daedheloth, dam an Glamhoth. "Turgon king of Gondolin, holds, has and wields the sword Glamdring, foe of dread, hammer of the Orc-horde". Like Sting and Orcrist, Glamdring was forged with forgotten skill and could detect the presence of evil that it's wielder might never be ambushed.
What do you think could Forge Glamdring, Sting and Orcrist? I think it could be Maeglin since in Silmarillion there was a fragment when he found in mountains some special iron and then weapon of Gondolindrians(?) was much sharper and powerful
And in comes @Sophie Jones outta left field like Stephen Colbert! Droppin Tolkien knowledge likes it's nineteen-thirty something! I love my fellow nerds. :) For real. This isn't sarcastic. I am a lonely 30 something with a cornucopia of useless knowledge that never gets invited to parties. This is probably why.
Not THE most badass. Although Fëanor is on that list, fighting against I believe 7 balrogs before he died, Fingolfin is #1. He duelled against Morgoth himself and actually wounded him, before being killed
@@morgothbauglir8687 Of course, Fingolfin is the fuckin owner of the Elves, the most noble king of the Noldor. Second, for me, it's a tie between Finrod Felagund and Fingon, both fought to the end, and Finrod literally killed himself to fulfill his oath to Barahir's house. But Turgon was a badass one, he showed up when nobody called him, helping a lot to decrease the losts, most of them survived because of Turgon's aid. And literally he brought the help from the Valar, allowing his daughter to marry a Man, rejecting Maeglin's wish, wich eventually led to Eärendil's journey to Valinor.
It's cool to see some new faces on the forge. Like many sword fans, this sword has a special place in my heart. Turgon is one of a kind, just like Gandalf. It turned out gorgeous.
@@blaz3r77 Totally true, but it still hurts when seeing such a beautiful sword, bashing in a steel plate. (I know what swords have to withstand in battle etc., but it still hurts)
in my opinion these kinds of videos are the most important that thatworks makes. showing these kinds of makers to a big audience, and particularly showing their unique skills and perspectives is so important.
I agree 100% it was are vision when we started this channel to travel and share other makers works. Just so happened that Covid hit 6 months into started the channel. We will get back to it.
LMAO that joke at the beginning was awesome this sword looked amazing in the films but seeing it made and some of the finer details is also really cool 😈
It is always interesting to see some of the Russian craftsmen working. They have a very unique style and make do with whatever they have on hand, while still achieving a very spectacular result... It really shows that fancy tools are not always a necessity, but that it is rather down to the skill of the actual craftsman. Well Built !!
I would love to see Vergil’s Yamato from DMC5. The DMC5 version has a lot of intricate details compared to the versions from the previous games, including a really intense hamon that I would love to see made into a real piece.
Same here brother! I've been suggesting it so many times under their videos, starting when I first discovered them 3 or 4 years ago when they were still on men at arms reforged. FINALLY!!!
Wait… no ending shot of the sword beautifully lit laying across an anvil with heart-pounding music playing?!?! How am I supposed to fully appreciate it?
You should hire a protege. Around 20/25 that's mostly skilled in camera work and editing but you guys make training and educational videos of him/her learning from the best and improving with every video just as we viewers are learning as well. That way in a year or two he/she can handle the fan inspired swords/weapons when you have time constraint issues.
Can you make a video on more and less common smithing mistakes that can lead to eg. blades breaking or chipping? Also a video on the ins and outs of heat treating and tempering and why it is so important would for sure be interesting.
But why though...? They have tools, these tools also help them to refine and make the very best possible piece. This is important. Simply because the lord of rings lore, really paints these weapons as being famously untarnished.
Так круто, что два разных по подаче канала так давно и плодотворно дружат) уже и видео друг друга переводите) Очень был рад посмотреть этот ролик еще раз, но уже с вашими комментариями, ребята, спасибо)

You're guys are absolutely quintessetial of blacksmithing and sword making. Oh dear God, I realy love yours projects. Please do the Dark Drinker an exotic sword from Destiny 1 game.
I really like how they did the fullering -- done by hand makes it really fancy. Also, making a sword out of stainless, makes me wonder how long such a sword would last over time, although holding an edge is probably a bit tougher.
Hello I am from Russia! More precisely from the Far East! I want to say that you are one of the best channels I subscribe to on UA-cam! Wishing you all the best!
Beautifully done. I love to see your work, doubly so since splitting off from MaA. You guys and the skill you put into your craft is phenomenal! I had a recommendation once upon a time ago I would still be intrigued to see, and that would be the dragonslayer spear from the 1981 film of the same name. The head always had a strikingly unique profile in my opinion, not sure of the difficulty. Whatever content you put out, though, I will be ever glad to watch! Keep up the great work, I'll be rooting for you! :]
Serious question: I thought swords were never made out of stainless steel because you can't temper stainless? Is that not true? Cool build! Looks great!
yep, stainless is good for knives, but the very same proprieties that make it resistant to rust are the ones that make it non-flexible (and heavier, because of sword geometry). The crystalline structure of stainless alloys are so hard that it becomes brittle during quenching - another reason why the fuller has to be ground instead of drawn by forging, and why stainless is only good for ornamental wallhangers.
I've seen some new cookware out made of stainless where the nickel content has been replaced with titanium in the alloy mix. I am curious to see if that new stainless alloy would make stainless swords viable. In theory the titanium should make it less brittle.
@@MotherBiscuitLover Titanium is brittle as fuck though IIRC. It's why we don't see swords made of just titanium (that and it can be pretty dangerous at high temperatures from what I've seen). @OP They could be referring to something like the Chromium-Vanadium alloy steel used in many Albion swords. It's not fully stainless but it's tough as hell and at least moderately corrosion resistant depending on how finely polished it is. As I understand it the lower chromium content compared to conventional stainless allows the grain boundaries to be stronger and thus tempering the blade will have an effect as the process of tempering is used to manipulate the grain structure of the material to produce desirable behaviour under stress.
"They will be forging Glamdring" Ah, sweet! "They chose to use a stainless alloy" ...oh. Still a cool build, looks like great workmanship, but personally I'm not a fan of stainless even if Gandalf's sword was "eternally bright." Still gonna follow Bellerophon, cause their stuff looks fantastic. EDIT: wait, some of their videos are just Russian-dubbed ThatWorks videos?
One question; why do you dislike the stainless part? Just looks or is it because it's a pain to work with? Also; it's ThatWorks that has english-dubbed Bellerophon videos too :P I think it's a big case of "Cousin Illya, the westerners don't get our craftsmanship!".
@@lyravain6304 Most stainless steel are a mild steel. So that means it won't hold an edge and it will bend fairly easily. So this sword pretty as it is is essentially a glorified wall hanger
@@lyravain6304 Stainless just doesn't have the potential to perform as well as carbon steels, assuming both are heat treated properly. I know the videos have gone the other way too...it just feels weird. But if it helps people who speak another language watch the thing, I can't complain.
@@lyravain6304 Generally you either alloy a steel for the right amount of toughness, flexibility or hardness, or you go for corrosion resistance. You can do both somewhat but it's never going to be quite as good as a more appropriate carbon steel for sword use. Stainless is much easier to care for and it's great for kitchen items, even acidic foods won't corrode it easily, but a dedicated tool steel is almost always better for the kind of stresses a sword comes under. They did probably choose a better quality stainless alloy than the basic kind found on cheap Chinese knives and wallhangers, so it's likely not that bad of a decision.
Thanks to everyone for your replies. I kind of thought of stainless steel to be the 'epitome' of steel, so I am happy to learn something new! In the showcase, the sword showed very minor wear throughout, I think the metal plate left a minor scratch on it, but nothing too extreme. I doubt it's a sword that would see realistic use anyway (we're not waging wars medieval-style any more after all), so I suppose the sacrifice in quality in favor of looks is acceptable, this time.

Serious question: I thought swords were never made out of stainless steel because you can't temper stainless? Is that not true?

If its just for show then you don't need to temper it because the blade won't be going though as much stress. It would also require less maintenance.
I thought you can do limited heat treat, but stainless steel is too hard and not springy enough, so it would more likely to break.

Bring your own sponsor is cool, still wanna see those beside the other parts of video fo a while...
But youtube still annoying with another ads that dont needed, and very agresive sucking data.
I left this awesome video unfinish.
Great job youtube...
I wanted to see Ilya forge the sword, but Aleksey and his team will have to do.
Why don't these guys have more subscribers???
You guys HAVE to make demon Brandt/ soul Brandt from demon souls, because they are remaking the game for ps5 so it will be relevant again!
The light of the drawing of the swords of the Noldor was like fire in a field of reeds.
I'd like to see the Star Sword, and the Power Sword, from Blackstar.
I had no idea man at arms basically became this channel man I have a lot to catch up so glad I found these guys again even if it's late!
Buster Blader’s sword: Yu-Gi-Oh!
Awesome team up! Big fan of bellerophon!
Random UA-cam Viewer during the live chat telling Matt to advise other PROFESSIONAL BLACKSMITHS to make sure to "keep the handle more oval" has got to be one of the most arrogant things I have ever seen.
Man that's bad for edge alignment. Maybe the random viewer knows a thing or two. BTW I noticed that too.
What was the purpose to powdercoat, then to remove the powercoat afterwards?
Y’all would do an awesome work doing the infinity blade
Hey Matt I noticed you have a band on the elbow for tendinitis not sure how bad it is but give the theraband a try its a green rubber tube you twist to work the forearms and it helps get blood flow to the tissue to help reduce inflammation. Hope it can help cheers.
Come In Swingin thank you! I will try it
I've been asking for this for years. Really happy to finally see it!!
The coolest thing to me in any fantasy world is a wizard. Ive always loved magic
Seeing that funko explode was really satisfying.
Finally, después de 2 años, es genial! The best of all Lotr franquicia
AN ABSOLUTE ASTOUNDING JOB! YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD!
I waited for a long time for mans at arms to return, only to realize the reason i watched them was gone, so glad to find out you have your own channel, now i can go back to watching my favorite smiths who teach me cool things! Missed you guys!
Did not expect them to be chopping wood with that thing. Looks great.
