YouTuber Forges Real-Life Version Of Shovel Knight's Shovel Sword
Man At Arms: Reforged, a YouTube show that creates replicas of weapons from pop-culture, has dedicated its latest video to Shovel Knight. Man At Arms' creations require a team of talented swordsmiths, and this latest weapon is no different despite it being a little on the goofy side.
In the video, the team recounts how they built a life-sized replica of Shovel Knight's Shovel Sword. Like in the game, it looks just like a giant shovel, but its blade is also incredibly sharp. At the end of the video, we see the Man At Arms team "playtest" the weapon, where it cleanly slices through a watermelon and a jug of milk.
For more Man At Arms, watch them forge real-life replicas of For Honor's weapons. You can read our review of Shovel Knight here.
