The blacksmith ace Tony Swatton has brought Finn’s sword from Adventure Time to life. He has taken the design and forged it into a real-life sword.
It’s actually quite interesting to watch the video as Tony takes the conceptual idea and goes through the lengthy and skillful process. He starts with a toy version of Finn’s sword as an example and then goes through a variety of steps to actualize it. The video is finalized by using the epic sword to its full capability, which includes slicing through various objects in slow-mo.
Tony Swatton is part of Man At Arms which have forged many other iconic swords including Oddjob’s hat from James Bond and Jaime Lannister’s sword from Game of Thrones.
