Professional Weaponsmiths Forge Kitana’s War Fans from Mortal Kombat X

While the steel war fans Kitana wields in Mortal Kombat X may seem improbable, the professionals behind web series Man at Arms: Reforged have done an amazing job of bringing these options into the real world.

In the video below, Man at Arms’ crew of blacksmiths and craftsmen take us through the process of making their latest project a reality, from forging the steel that forms the basis of the weapon to sewing the silk that holds it all together. Naturally, they also take it for a spin near the end to showcase its ability to tear apart items like soda cans, watermelons, and more.

Man at Arms routinely crafts fictitious weapons from video games, movies, and anime, so be sure to check out the rest of their channel if you like what you see.
