Master Swordsmith Tony Swatton constructs Kirito"s Elucidator from Sword Art Online

Tony Swatton is known for making legendary swords from anime, video games, comic books, and more like Cloud’s Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII, Link’s Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda, and Ichigo’s Zangetsu from Bleach. Now, thanks to the fans, he has forged Kirito’s Elucidator which is one of the swords he wielded during the Aincrad arc of Sword Art Online and featured it in his web show, Man At Arms.

He used 1075 spring steel and mild steel for the sword and heat treated it at 1550 degrees Fahrenheit (843 degrees Celsius) and tempered it at 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius). He then sent it off to get a black oxidized finish to get Elucidator’s signature black color naturally.
