To take your mind off of counting down the days until the release of Assassin's Creed Syndicate, check out this episode of Man at Arms: Reforged in which Baltimore Knife and Sword recreates Jacob's Cane Sword.
The blacksmiths use genuine antique 19th century cable damascus for the sheath, a walrus tusk that's been aged thousands of years, machining wax, and bronze to assemble the replica. The team moves like clockwork as each member handles a different part of the weapon and it's quite satisfying to see each piece fit together perfectly at the end.
Even if you're not a fan of swords or Assassin's Creed, the process is mesmerizing to watch and the episode is only about ten minutes long. Plus, the creators are giving the sword away in a sweepstakes.
And if you already have a sword, don't forget to pair it with a dapper hat for the perfect Assassin's Creed Halloween costume.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate arrives on October 23.
