AWE me

AWE stands for Amaze, Wow, and Educate — the three goals that drive everything the channel produces. It functions as a mission statement as much as a brand name, summing up the mix of expert craftwork, entertainment, and hands-on tutorials across shows like Man at Arms: Reforged, Super Fan Builds, and the DIY series.

The weapons are built by the professional team at Baltimore Knife and Sword, a real working blacksmith shop that AWE me partners with for the show. Each episode follows the full process from raw stock metal to finished replica, using genuine smithing techniques rather than props or stand-ins.

Yes, Man at Arms: Reforged has forged Zoro's Shusui from One Piece as a featured episode. Anime weapon builds are a cornerstone of the show, and One Piece is one of several anime franchises the Baltimore Knife and Sword team has tackled for the channel.

Yes, Man at Arms: Reforged has produced Castlevania-themed weapon builds, with content specifically tied to the character Alucard. Gothic and dark-fantasy weapon designs from games and anime like Castlevania are consistently among the most popular builds the blacksmiths take on.

Yes, Man at Arms: Reforged forged the Heng Blade from the game Where Winds Meet, with the game also serving as an episode sponsor. This dual arrangement — a game funds an episode built entirely around its own weapon design — is one of AWE me's most thematically cohesive partnership formats.

Super Fan Builds is an AWE me original show where master prop and set builders create large-scale, custom pieces for devoted fans of a franchise — like a Groot-themed swing set inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy. It sits alongside Man at Arms: Reforged as a flagship show but focuses on prop and set construction rather than blacksmithing.

DIY Prop Shop and DIY Cosplay Shop are AWE me series built around teaching viewers how to recreate props and cosplay pieces from popular franchises at home. They represent the 'Educate' side of AWE me's mission, breaking down professional-level techniques for hobbyists who want to build their own screen-accurate gear.

War Thunder is one of the most naturally matched sponsors AWE me has taken on — both appeal to audiences with a genuine interest in real-world weapons, military hardware, and historical craftsmanship. AWE me's viewership skews over 90% male and clusters in the age range that makes up War Thunder's core player base, making the pairing feel organic rather than forced.

Joe Bereta is an on-camera host and personality associated with AWE me, named directly in the channel's own description. He is known to the channel's audience primarily through AWE me's entertainment-focused shows, bringing a presenting energy that complements the craftsman-driven content on series like Man at Arms: Reforged.

AWE me has built up over 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube, placing it in the Mega tier of creator channels. For a channel centered on a specialized craft niche — blacksmithing and prop building — that scale reflects just how broadly appealing its pop-culture weapon builds have become across gaming, anime, and film fandoms.
