Are you the type of person that loves the history that goes into a weapon? Be it a blade, a gun, a bow, etc., I find that the backstory & history of a weapon is just as fascinating as the character wielding it. My personal favorite weapon of all time is the Sword of Omens from Thundercats. With all the movie props and custom builds of weapons from our best fantasy stories, I have yet to see a perfect representation of my favorite sword. There have been attempts, but none have come close to matching the sheer elegance, beauty, and design of the sword from the cartoon.
Until now...

In my usual yearly search to see if a perfected prop had been made of the Sword of Omens, I came across this YouTube channel and found...well I found it. There it is, in all its Thunderian glory. The blade I have been longing to own since I first laid eyes upon it some 25 years ago. Unfortunately, I'm almost positive this is not for sale. One day.
I am so happy I found this channel though. The time, effort, and love that went into making it left me speechless. True craftsmanship is an art in itself, especially blacksmithing. What's more is that this man has made more weapons from the myths and legends we nerds have grown up with over our lives. I urge you to give this channel a look.
It also begs the question; what sword would you like him to make?
