These guys built Sauron’s mace

The weaponsmiths from Man At Arms Reforged have a pretty simple mission. They select fictional weapons (sometimes with subscribed voters helping), and then bring those weapons to life. As Baltimore Knife And Sword, these smiths, artists, and machinists make their living forging weapons and props for film, stage, and renaissance festivals.

For their latest episode, the weaponsmiths chose to celebrate the release of the The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies by constructing Sauron’s mace. In case anybody missed it, Sauron uses his mace in The Fellowship Of The Ring to wallop waves of human and elven foes like Barry Bonds chipping tee-balls out of the park.
