Big Giant Swords Is Coming To The Discovery Channel

The title of the show is exactly what's in the box. Much like the Cards Against Humanity box of Bullsh*t, this is exactly what it claims to be. The show follows Michael "Irish Mike" Craughwell as he crafts and builds replica swords.

He was propelled into infamy after he designed and built weapons based on iconic video games and 80 science fiction movies on YouTube. He built the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII. The massive sword that would likely be impossible to wield exists in the real world thanks to this guy.

With his success he's branched out and with the help of AmeriMike and a crew of as good as they could get assistants, the new show will focus on Irish Mike's struggles to complete custom orders for clients.

The first episode has them designing a lightening inspired sword for a team of storm chasers and a Chakram for an MMA fighter. They'll be pressed for time with a slightly less than master team. It will be a challenge for the crew to complete the orders. You'll have to tune in to find out if they succeed or fail.

Big Giant Swords airs on January 13, 2015 at 10 ET/PT on the Discovery Channel. You can watch Irish Mike work in the video below.
