The latest impressive piece to emerge from the forges of fandom does so quite pointedly, for it is a replica of Edward Elric’s famous spear from Full Metal Alchemist, with the creators helpfully providing a video detailing its manufacture.
The spear was forged by Tony Swatton and his crew, who have worked with weaponsmithing for numerous years – they also possess a YouTube channel and a video series (“Man at Arms”) involving the creation of iconic weaponry from movies, games and otherwise.
The spear, as well as the creation process in intricate detail:
The spear is clearly an impressive piece – but whether such a creation will have any impact on current cosplay standards seems sadly doubtful.
The best weapon this dude made was the “meteor sword” of Soka (Avatar series). He even got metal from a real meteorite!
“Space sword!”
Wow, damn how alchemy would seem so useful. I can’t imagine the amount of effort it took to make spear. It would like to see that spear in action more.
I would so use this weapon in a zombie apocalypse.
I especially like Sokkas Meteor Sword, Leonas Zenith Blade and Gimlis Bearded Axe :3
was just watching a few of this guy’s vids yesterday….the sword of omens was pretty cool.
