Veteran Swordsmith Forges Life-Size Buster Sword Replica


In the latest episode of Man at Arms, veteran swordsmith and propsmaster Tony Swatton forges a life-size replica the iconic Final Fantasy VII weapon, the Buster Sword. Originally owned by Angeal Hewley, it later became Cloud Strife's signature weapon.


Weighing 75-80 pounds (around 35-26 kg) and is 6 ft. long, this life size replica of the Buster Sword is probably, one of the hardest weapons that Mr. Swatton created. Aside from the Buster Sword, he also created another "iconic" Square-Enix weapon, Sora's Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts.
