Carrie Stagmer and the team at Baltimore Knife and Sword are featured on Man at Arms Reforged, where they create various objects, including the Spear Longinus from Evangelion.
Ellen and Derek forge the spearheads from 1045 one-inch bars, tapering the ends before twisting them together to form the helix spiral.
The team uses a power hammer to hot cut the tips of the bars and straighten them to maintain alignment for the helix.
After twisting the bars using braces and a fly press, Derek straightens and finishes the spear, thanking Skillshare for sponsoring the episode and promoting their online learning community.
