** Tony Swatton. He's clearly also a case of OneOfUs.[[invoked]]

* OneOfUs:[[invoked]]
** Tony Swatton and his assistant Brian in the original series.
** More so with the Stagmer team in ''Reforged''. Matt and Kerry are ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' and ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' enthusiasts (Matt was also hyped about getting to do an ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' build, as suggested by his Soldier:76 cosplay), and Ilya is an avid anime and manga fan; he is often seen wearing anime shirts.

** The amount of references Ilya makes to ''WebVideo/LifeOfBoris'' in their Tapanga Machete video is quite alot that even Boris himself commented on it.

* Man in Black's Bowie Knife fron ''Series/Westworld''

* Kenshin Himura's reverse-blade katana from ''Manga/RuroninKenshin''

* Fury's Song from ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps3''

* Lostvayne from ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'

** They go out of their way to forge Andúril ''properly'':[[spoiler:forge ''Narsil'' using 19th century-or-earlier techniques only, smash Narsil into shards, then use more archaic techniques to forge the shards into Andúril.]]

* RecordNeedleScratch: The usual music marking the completion of a weapon screech to a halt when Sauron breaks Narsil.

** Probably also the reason he used old katana tips to incorporate [[FateStayNight 5th Assassin]] into Excalibur instead of, say, an old dagger.

%%* BadassBeard: More than a few of them got this.
* AuthorAppeal: Ilya's speciality is being an armorer. This shows through when they decide to make [[Manga/FairyTale Erza Scarlet]]'s armor on top of her blade.

** Trisha Hershberger (from ''Webvideo/SourceFed'') takes a couple of swings with Link's Master Sword.

* MasterOfAll: Ilya Alekseyev's specialty is armor, but is there anything he's ''not'' good at? Bladesmithing, etching, leatherwork, he does everything.

* The Virtuous Treaty from ''VideoGame/NierAutomata''
* Jeanne d'Arc's lance from ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''

** [[FateApocrypha Ruler's]] Luminosité Éternelle.

* TheGadfly: Ilya is not above ribbing his coworkers for a laugh, like threatening to cut up Kerry's new forklift if the older forklift piece they were forging didn't work out, or swiping and using Matt's personal hammer and ''licking it'' once Matt realizes.

* MasterOfAll: Ilya Alekseyev's specialty is armor, but is there anything he's ''not'' good at? Bladesmithing, armorsmithing, etching, leatherwork, he does everything.

** More so with the Stagmer team in ''Reforged''. Matt and Kerry are ''VideoGame/CounterStrike'' and ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' enthusiasts (Matt was also hyped about getting to do an ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' build, as suggested by his Soldier:76 cosplay), and Ilya is an avid anime and manga fan. Which makes it very funny when we can see Ilya wearing ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' T-shirts in at least two episodes.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: One episode of ''Reforged'' has the team creating [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim's]] Iron Helmet, which doesn't even have any pointy bits to maim things with, and the ending montage has them attacking the finished piece with various weapons to show off its durability.

** Thor's Mjölnir.

* Zuri's Spear from ''[[Film/BlackPanther2018 Black Panther]]''

* Jeanne D'Arc's lance from ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''

* Zuri's Spear from [[Film/BlackPanther2018 Black Panther]]
* The Virtuous Treaty from ''Videogame/NierAutomata''

* Thor's duas swords from ''Film/ThorRagnarok''
