They will not heel

The comment above me is a prime example of “I wish that was my comment.”

10k heals a lot of emotional wounds.

@ozymandias nero nulifidian Iowa is basically middle of the USA. Lots of farms.

"Yes but you kealed my will to live good sir." lol D:

I laughed out loud.

Lol this has the same energy as “call an ambulance! call an ambulance! but not for me.”

@Lucas Greyson I’ll say, I think that Scott’s claymore would be the one calling the ambulance for I think johnathan (his claymore at least)

He won, but at what cost? He might be the only one whose blade didnt keel.....

My parents thought I was on drugs laughing at this comment

My thoughts exactly, but I also thought aloud he earned that!

I thought.... what a nerd. Just kidding

He is not the only one who has never won anything in there life. There is a lot of us out there with the same situation.

Well, he won the sperm competition. That's only what matters

A bent blade is obviously better then a broken blade.

There's a reason why blacksmiths were shown respect even by nobles back in the medieval era. Their craft was a demanding one that required a great deal of experience, skill, and a drive to keep getting better. In a way, a Knight's "best friend" wasn't his brothers-in-arms or his weapon, it was his blacksmith, as without that blacksmith, he wouldn't even have a weapon to fight with in the first place. Blacksmiths need skill, patience, and experience....but they also need a great deal of physical brawn as well (especially in the medieval era, where the conveniences of modern machinery to help in the craft did not exist), as they would have to manually hammer the metal (or whatever other material they were working) into shape. Back then, you certainly would not want to get into a brawl with a blacksmith, they could likely hit you with strength comparable to a sledgehammer if the need arose.

@@gamester512 The fact that I never kill blacksmiths in Dark Souls, even on evil playthroughs, is a nod to that.

I collect blades. Knives and swords and all in-between. This show has made me appreciate them the way they should be and not as just some cool weapon.

i learned a 6th thing: ice blocks are the weapon killers

@@gamester512 blacksmiths didn't make weapons they were more household objects, that would have been more the sword/insert name smith here

Nice to know. I've been wondering what they doing with all that meat. Thank you for that.

actually they surrender weapons to the set because of some law thus making it a prop and some law prevents the travel of the weapon and by labeling it as a prop they can transport the weapon to the studio

@@vodkacola5182 nope, in the Japanese ono episode, the losing smith commented on the video and he has the ono for sale on his website. Production only holds on to the weapons until broadcast.

@@watchdealer11 ohhh because after broadcast they can technically disregard the prop and return the losing weapon to it's owner

@@vodkacola5182 yeah, also it could lead to spoilers and they need B roll/close-ups of the weapons

@JustinBieber No he shouldn't. Im pretty sure Doug has an accent. That's why he says kill like "keel."

JustinBieber stop ruining everyone’s fun

@JustinBieber maybe do just a tiny bit of research. Doug says KEAL instead of kill to keep the show family friendly. He made up the actronym, and it stands for Keep Everyone ALive.

Agreed

We did not need to naruto run into area 51 for a episode where he says it will not keel

It's ok, I laughed too.

My husband laughed. I added, "Well, that blade ain't a Rolex. It took two licks." Then my husband high fives me.

No you are not… i laughed too😂

I agree! Also, "game winning goal at a super bowl game" is probably the funniest phrase I've ever heard lmao

@Luke B. 😆

Keal, as in keep em all alive :)

And he looked so disappointed

This is a true comment

@Lord Sakazuki I've only found forged in fire during the last couple of months during lockdown, so this is the first time I've personally heard it. And I must say I am loving this show, and it doesn't matter when people start the show, as long as they enjoy the show that's what important, so I think "fake fans" is a bit much to say, people start shows at different times so people find out these things at different times

Madolina Degocelli what

Yes,,, imagine failing the first and easiest test

That dude had terrible edge alignment when he hit the pig and bent the sword, he almost slapped the pig with the blade instead of cutting it with the edge

nope the blade was just not sharp enough that it bounced off animal skin, curved downwards and bent itself. Epic fail that a claymore cant cut effectively leather.

Or saying “catastrophic failure” lmao

That's what I thought, I mean the other guy didn't even have the balance right and he lost coz few threads came lose

Better an arguably worse sword than a sword that has the pommel, which holds the blade and handle together, come off.

@@veritasmod7013 exactly, one more swing with the sword without a pommel and its likely the blade is just gonna fly away.

@@1999moniz it’s a throwing sword. you throw it straight to the trash

You can sharpen a dull sword, you can't do much with a sword that's falling apart

The pommel is a very vital part of the overall weapon though. Holds the entire hilt together. That falls off, and the entire sword can and will fall apart pretty quick

For real, he lost to the derpiest sword possible... He made a beautiful piece of craftsmanship and lost to the guy whose strategy was "they asked for a sword so I made a sword-shaped hammer".

I was actually wondering, aren't most pummels screwed into the grip? How did it even come off?

@@Kusabiii He might have tried to glue it on cheaply or something when he should have tacked it with a good weld or at least stronger bond. Definitely some oversight for the all around test of the entire structure..

@@Kusabiii most pommels would be peened on, which means that the tang sticks through the pommel a small distance, and then it is hammered into flatness. This stops the pommel from ever breaking off but means that you can't ever remove it.

I now me to

I did cry he deserved it man

So wholesome

Bro, for real, I gasped when the second sword broke. I just couldn't believe it

I was actually crying

Instant karma 🤣 if you look closely the dude was grinning at 1:44 right after his opponent's claymore bent and proceeded to brag that he had made a good sword 😂

that broken piece of blade almost hit him right on the head.

@@albertsmith99 it was going straight for the neck.

If I was on the battlefield using the man's blade and it broke instantly, I would be dead.

Hand on the shoulder 2:01

😂

Yo lol love it XD I love refrigerators... and blades

He should’ve won the pommel falling off is not a catastrophic failure

The other guy feels bad too.. he said "I didn't wanna win like that"

A catastrophic failure is when the blade is no longer safe to use. Without a pommel, the sword could possibly go flying across the room

@@tunners its a failure but not catastrophic failure. Blade could still be used and all you'd have to do is re-attach the pommel and add some stuff to make it not fall off again. Also if I can swing a sledge hammer as hard as possible on to an extremely hard surface without losing my grip the sword flying across the room probably wouldn't happen by people who know what they're doing with it. Now if the handle itself was falling apart/off I could see that being a catastrophic failure

Generally I do not believe that the people in the show want to take chances to try and fix the weapon or keep testing. It would be 1. Against the rules as you can’t change it or make sure it’s safe and strong at all after the deadline is done. And 2. The judges are not allowed to fix the weapon at all, only allowed to test the weapon.

WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE!!

*pulls out sword* Gordon Ramsay: any last words

but it will keel!

This dish will keal

This dish is DRY!!!

its not really full, it has lots of empty space, could fill 100 people in their to be considered full

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who realized that. Yeah the guy definitely hit it in the wrong place.

I wouldn't go as far to say he did it on purpose but yeah, not exactly a controlled test.

Thank you I had to rewind cause I thought it looked strange. The guy kind of got screwed over

Yeah it’s not controlled at all

It started on a slant but hit with the blade bring flat. I think it would of broken either way.

Too bad it broke and it cost him.

On the last chop too.

I counted 11 chops on the ice too... so close

that sucks because his knife took out the most ice

His did do the most dmg before it broke tho

Good point

I'd rather talk about how many of them but especially this one have no idea how to properly use the tools they are stress testing thus resulting in far more failures and more dramatic failures then should ever have happened in the course of the testing..

Right ... I see a person for first time who choff by the side of a knife

judge have enough experience to know if blade have any big mistake, weapon have any obvious problem will not be test. We only see the weapon which don't have seen problem fail in the test

Seems pretty dumb not to use safety-gear to me

this show in not professional at all. for the public it is funny, but it has nothing common with real blacksmithing profession

@@wojtekwu253 cry about it

@@wojtekwu253 give examples

I was hoping to see this comment... Didn't notice it as much later, but that first segment really hurt my soul. I didn't want to believe it so I played it back slower and sure enough he swung it really hard with a really bad angle to bend it like that.

@@OhmIsFutile I did the exact same things as you, I swear I had a slight heart attack when I saw that first swing 😂

The judge swings like an beginner. Plenty of slaps, not many cuts and it seems to be a running issue with the show

@@cloroxusthestainlessone4324 Yeah definitely a running issue, it's not the first time that I see such messy swings

@@diegopagani6549 I mean to be fair if they made perfect edge alignment most blades would cut through anything short of steel as long as they are even semi-sharpened so it kinda makes sense that you wouldn't give it perfect edge alignment, the problem for me is that it's practically impossible to replicate the attack so for "sharpness" / "kill tests" as long as the blades are close whoever gets a luckier swing wins it.

because it wont keal

Nikola Mladenović cause they all “keel”

33:20 mač vs Bosanska glava 😂

Because it will not kill

That's usually what those blades back in the day were forged for so if it won't kill then it's pretty much useless.

And most of these smiths do put in time and passion into what they made

This show always seems to lack the bombastic and overly confident people, even the people who have a good amount of confidence seem ready to be humbled.

@@rya3190 I would say that's the nature of being a blacksmith. You have to be ready to be humbled in that trade.

@@bakatsugu that's fair, though I always suspected that there was enough drama going on that they didn't need the Blacksmiths to be "extra"

isn’t a spear supposed to be for piercing and throwing?

My favorite part about that is when the other guy said "my blade may have broken but at least it cut. I got this in the bag". And despite saying that he still lost XD.

I think that guy was the worst loser on the show, but even then he wasn't that bad lol

I mean both shiuld have been disqualified. Yes you can straighten up a bent blade, but if it bends during battle you dont really have the time, a broken blade is as bad so for all i care they both failed.

@@trajano777 and they both made a better claim more than you

@@trajano777 you can still parry and run away. You also have a secondary blade. You can fix the bent blade with ur foot later. Only takes a minute.

Well yep.. it’s about REALLY pushing those limits lol

True but it's more fun that way

They have forge real weapons, not a decorative replicas. So on battefield this weapons have to kill man wearing chain mail, few seconds later using same weapon you have kill man in plate armor, seconds later you have chop shield and kill man. After few hours later when battle is over your weapon have to be still exist in one piece.

@@prasaite but banging on the knife with a hammer on the surface of an industrial nut...... Yes seems realistic

@@trilokyamohanchakra6351 Knife is something more than weapon, its universal tool. If knife survive in one pieces few hits hammer an industrial nut, propably it willbe survive cuting the wood, spliting, batoning, choping meat and willbe sharp ebnought yo cut paracord.

Why don't you head down to the FIF studios and tell Doug he doesn't know what he's doing.

@@boosterprime5757 You can pause the video and go frame by frame with the , + . keys, you can clearly see the blade is nowhere near aligned when it hits the pig. Even the very best make mistakes sometimes... 👍

@@boosterprime5757 buy my ticket, I'd before than happy to. Doug is a quack

I agree the guy swung badly but even with a bad swing a quality blade shouldn't be bending like that. At all.

Dirty Dan LMFAOOO

it definitely stood out

@Lord Sakazuki I stopped watching because the last few weapons I've actually watched the shows that feature them. So in fact, I am a real fan of the show. You're not, because you're watching compilations on youtube instead of full episodes. How's that for a half-assed conclusion?

unattainable standards for men 2020 edition

Oh yeah

well you should have played better.

Being commonly used by soldiers on the location knows as “Shipment”, where they’d appear out of nowhere and rush the enemy who, without having enough time to react or to just realize how ridiculous the situation they find themselves in is, is killed mercilessly, only to respawn and go through the same events multiple times.

They tried to do that with me, but I'm one of those anti campers, anyone who camps, gets bayoneted.

23 04 he didnt strike the knife against the nut

You have to rewind like 20 seconds.

Big industrial nuts

23:25

He said it the moment I was reading your comment.

There was one guy who literally won cause... all the other blades broke. He was like, "I didn't want to win this way..." I said, "Bro! You won 10k! Be excited, man!"

but he's winning ;-;

The Scottish claymore episode, he angled it a bit to the spine of the sword. (BTW, the middle of the sword is also called "spine" if I recalled correctly)(Also please don't blast me if I get it wrong!) This is evident by the second cut with the second claymore which is not his fault as that type of sword is heavy to swing with one hand. It is approximately 2.5 - 3 kg. Normal one handed swords tend to be 1-1.5 kg so close to double the weight with your wrists will be a complete disaster for your wrist. Your shoulders and back can carry more so u can put it on your back.

Maybe doug shouldn't have slapped the pig with the sword.

@@branchcore but he didnt

@@branchcore he aimed it well but the sword wasnt sharp enough to slice so it deflected off the pigskin. Epic fail for a claymore to bounce off effectively leather armor.

Ink masters. Yeah seen bits of it

I can’t believe they made him lose they’ve let other people slide for having parts break before

His sword was the better weapon. I can tell you that the other guy's sword is practically unusable as a weapon.

@@exander3636 true

@@benjaminthompson4370 A pommel is a very important part of a sword though. Without it, not only can the handle potentially slip off the sword, leading to very dangerous situations, it also throws off the balance completely, making it neigh impossible to wield

Well its not a catastrophic failure. It did not seem that the pomel had any part in the structural integrety. It wont be as balanced as befor but well his oponents wasent balanced from the start

Doug: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

@@juandavidortizsuarez9846 The day has been KEAL'd

I mean, did it to himself, those were two freaking awful strikes

@@falconfightteampresents5992 well on the first sword the handle was too rounded and therefore rotated in the grip and causing a poor edge alignment. The second sword had good edge alignment, but it broke on the spine, which means the sword was made bad

@@juandavidortizsuarez9846 Hahaha thank you for making me chuckle.

I was too!! Gorgeousweapon! Would've won

@@daniplaysoneasy-9454 for sure. The "winner's" sword at that point was basically a baseball bat and would have never survived the upcoming sharpness test.

Without the pommel, the sword is no longer weildable because of balance issues. More dangerous to user than the target

That pommel cold be mended in seconds, and it would have been the winning sword. It still had the taper and all. Just put a bit of epoxy or glue on it.

@@Kriegbaum1000 bro u know the other guy could do the same if his opponent would be given a chance to fix it.

Well, the Smith did sum it up well himself.

No those blades broke because of user error.

I think only blacksmiths will show that kind of appreciation. Hard not to, making a claymore's some serious work, how can you not show admiration? :D

Wow, with the claymore double failures I actually disagree with the outcome for the first time in the show. BOTH failed really badly. I really think the 10k should be split. 5k easy.

Makes sense. Any experienced smith is no stranger to the heartbreak of a broken blade.

@@anonymouslee2083 Plus, they know how much time and effort goes into constructing those weapons, and by extension, they know how they would feel had it been their own weapon that broke/failed.

They deliberately chose to show that too.

I’ve seen more awkward moments, watch my wife devour a bowl of ice cream

I know it’s a joke but I think it’s a recreation of how the blade broken part flew of and landed

I’m actually pretty sure it is a recreation of what happened when the blade broke. There have been a couple of times where I can see the way the fragment fell the first time doesn’t quite match up to the second close up shot.

Unclear to me why it wasn't included in the keel test in the first place 🤷‍♂️

Skall...

@@OptimalMario exactly.

I agree with you as much as the next person, but sadly it was a failure due to the overall structure of the blade's design. The other blade still had its integrity and was still functional even with its weight as a drawback, but the pommel was the counterbalance to the losing blades key structural balance. The blade was deemed too dangerous to use after that. The hosts understood and were saddened that he had lost to the other blade which seemed to be leading to failure, but things happen.

@@YBPhoenix dude. It's a joke about pommels don't come with serious stuff to here.

To be honest I suspect that’s kinda what happened. Probably something along the lines of. “Yeah we really didn’t do that test right or fairly but we’d lose face/credibility if we admitted it outright. Let’s give him a fair chance by saying a bend isn’t as severe as a break then let him bend it back for a sharpness test.” I find it troubling because in a recent episode I saw two knives break on the first strike with exactly the same flaw that caused it. They decided that because one knife snapped in the middle and thus still had four inches of usable blade in theory he could then take it to the apple slice sharpness test, while the other blade snapped right above the handle thus it couldn’t be held safely so of course the former won. But here… I dunno. I’m willing to bet that one could still be able to kill humans with half a claymore very easily. Maybe easier since now it’s not so heavy. On the other hand I’m also pretty confident that if you smacked someone around the head with even a dull or bent claymore the impact alone would kill. Furthermore I doubt anyone went into battle without a backup in the form of a short sword, dagger, axe or mace or club. It might have been practical to drop it and go with the backup-at least until you get a moment to straighten the sword. Weapons probably broke on the battlefield often since even the most well made blade can suffer from wear and tear. I think if it had been up to me I might have fallen back on the knives they made earlier in rounds 1 and 2 to determine the best smith, declared them both loser or both and split the 10k between them.

You know he planned to say that for months

Keel

KEAL

That's what happens when you cheer an opponent's mistakes

Lol true but I don't understand how they make a bad blade? Like wut??? What steel were they using or they just didn't focus enough of it.

@@koreancowboy42 i think the problem was more that it's such a challenging blade, due to it being so big, and the fact neither of them had ever made a blade of that size

@@koreancowboy42 it’s because they are purposely forced on time so they are more likely to compromise or make mistakes, it’s a competition of pushing them to their limits

@@briannaschmid4112 and the fact that the blade must be long and quite thin from what I see and I personnaly think it’s quite hard to have a sword like this hold up and made in such short time

Blacksmith is like a doctor... With every fail he becomes more and more experienced

One did, I think its just to like, seperate the strength of the actual blade, make sure its not brittle or has any micro cracks- I think literally only a perfectly forged nlade would surivive with no damage

Even then it'll still take some blade issues. Especially the edge, no matter the steel quality.

If it was used as a test on this show chances are you shouldn't do this to a real knife. Blacksmiths tend to make almost unbreakable stuff (mailbox out of 1/4 inch steel, it was never vandalized again.) So you need an absurd test to test their breaking point.

@@axoltol5363 If they knew the tests being conducted they would design around it. Some guys get unfair advantages because of a random specific trait they went with based purely on preference. Someone else chooses to make a more flexible blade for whatever reason it will perform better/ worse then a rigid blade in whatever random test. Most of their tests are stupid and not practical, it's often not a measure of skill. It's mostly who designed and forged something better suited to a random destruction test.

@@friendlyoldbum9182 doesn't help that the last strike on the second guys blade was a good 4 inches away from the nut. Massively unequal testing

Yeah, edge allinment can make a lot of difference^^.

Most of them are using this as advertising for a bladesmithing business, even the ones that fail in a major way can be "Here's what I can do with three hours, I want eight to make yours. And, of course, the finalists can point to a lot more. They do not want what they intend to use as promotional to show them in a bad light. Plus, of course, they just found out how hard it is to make a winning blade under those time pressures.

Yeah, you can see in the slow-motion replay that the cut was badly aligned, leading to the weapon slapping the carcass, rather than cutting it. I feel like if they used a diagonal cut, rather than a horizontal cut, it would improve the testing since, as it stands, those "baseball bat" swings they use are absolutely destroying perfectly good work.
