I had a great time doing this show. I highly recommend it if you get a chance to participate. I actually made three blades that week. One of 1095, one of 1075 and the final was 5160. I spent a little over 20 hours start to finish on the final blade. The quench oil I had was fine for little blades, just wasn't fast enough for a big 10xx series sword. The final weight was 2.41lbs or 1.09kg. The research I did showed it should weigh 2.5 lbs 1.13kg, so I was close. Craig's blade was very light and quick. It was sweet. I have no problems with the results of his win. My blade was not up to my normal fit and finish. I used up 11 days vacation and had great time. They paid for the flights and hotel and I got to take my blade home. No paychecks for runner up.

I have a question for you if you don't mind my asking: Through the first two rounds, the show cuts to contestants speaking about their feelings "in that moment". Do they actually pull you aside to say what's going on, or are those interviews recorded after the action? I figure it has to be after, particularly during the timed section, so do they ask to act like you're back in that moment (of question)? I hope that's not too confusing. Thank you

Maybe also something light and fast like machetes or parangs, but these swords are weird, and definitely not anything larger. You can see in the slow-mos on the mannequin cuts that he had a hard time keeping the blades level for a clean side cut, this is likely why his cut on that first watermelon was so bad. Even so, Krosis was right, as soon as a judge says a blade has weight they are done.

@Gabriel Afonso they run the file across the steel to hear the sound it makes and if the file digs in letting them know if they've reached the desired hardness.

@timp2751 3 жыл бұрын

The file is to test the hardness after it's quenched. If the file skates off rather than biting in it means the blade is harder than the file and the quench process worked. Steel will be very brittle at that point though so the blade is then tempered by heating it up to a specific temperature which loses a little bit of the hardness in exchange for significant toughness Figure it probably had been tempered before he whacked it one and it's just the editing. Does seem to have a different pair of shoes on.

@kma3647 3 жыл бұрын

1) They're much cheaper and easier to manufacture than metal shields, so if you're not the richest people in the world, you could still get your army reasonably equipped. 2) The fire-hardened wood is extremely hard. It absorbs much of the sword's strike which does offer considerable protection. If you look, the sword only penetrated 4-5 inches into the edge even with repeated strikes. It's not perfect, but it's much better than going in with no shield and taking that 4-5 inch strike into your arm or ribs. 3) They're much lighter to carry than metal shields. If you've got an army that needs to move light and fast and still have energy to fight when it gets to the battlefield, this is a big advantage. Ask any Marine whose been on a 30 mile ruck march with a full pack. Unlike in video games, weight matters.

@uncleartyom4280 3 жыл бұрын

I mean if you think about it, having a sword stick into your shield and get stuck instead of just glancing off could give you a serious advantage. Throughout history, it was considered a feature of wooden shields. The sword digs in just enough to get stuck for enough time to give you an opportunity to counter. It wouldn't go deep enough to hit the guy behind the shield and the shields themselves were simple and cheap enough to be treated as a consumable.

@@johnmick4980 Here's a fact I think you'll find interesting. The Far East (East Asia and Southeast Asia) generally developed ironworking LATER than sub-Saharan Africa. Even China, the EARLIEST ironworking civilization in the Far East, reached its own Iron Age around 600 to 500 BC. By then, a good number of sub-Saharan African societies and civilizations had already developed ironworking as far back as 2000 BC. Meanwhile, the rest of the Far East wouldn't reach its own Iron Age until centuries after China, and therefore centuries after sub-Saharan Africa. Societies like Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia, and the Philippines generally reached their Iron Age in the late 1st millennium BC or thereafter. Also instances of carbon steel based on complex preheating principles were found to be in production around the 1st century AD in northwest Tanzania.

" Doesn't it get you some guy in a 3rd world country can make stuff like this and it will withstand battles, and I got 70 thousand worth of equipment and I can't do it?" It all comes down to skill honestly. You could have the most basic tools and still be able to produce extraordinary equipment. I know this is different but this is the best example I've got. In the Philippines there are gunsmiths out there that make master quality 1911 handguns. All they have to work with is literally just sheet metal, scrap metal, and the most basic tools. And some of those guys are so good that gun companies like Smith and Wesson hire them as gun crafters.

Judge: "The advantage of this sword was the ability to reach around shields and hit the guy behind it." Contestants (think): "Oh. So we're going to have a handling or accuracy test?" Judge: "So in the next test I will beat this sword against a shield to test its durability."

@eightyeightfiveoh 3 жыл бұрын

I thought the same thing, he got robbed there. The sword was heavier apparently so probably it is harder to side cut. But he shouldn't loose points because the guy testing it isn't very strong and can't swing the blade with adequate force. Easily would of cut that watermelon. Maybe it was not the deciding factor after all though.

@jakecabatino6307 3 жыл бұрын

to put it in other words, the tester/judge's just trash at testing and don't even know how to swing properly, I've seen him swing swords improperly and always hitting the side not the sharp edge.

@anomalyp8584 3 жыл бұрын

Doesn't matter, he was already out because his piece was heavier than the other. Even if it did cut nicely they would have kicked him out just for that.

I feel like sometimes it also depends on the strength u put into a swing, that horizontal swing he did didn’t seem as strong as he did the first time

@katastrofygames 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe because of the weight of the sword. The way he described how the heavier sword feels made it sound a lot like an axe. If you ever use an axe you will find that swinging it horizontally is pretty hard but swinging it down is very powerful.

@Gabriel-dn6md 3 жыл бұрын

yea that was rigged. he shoulda just said he liked the light one better instead of botching up the swing, trying to push cut the watermelon.
