Not a mutt. Can anybody tell me what this show is called? I'd like to have a laff.
Never heard of this show but it looks kino, what's it called?
Forged in fire
Floor on fire
forged in fire
Forging among friends and family

The stupidity and craziness of both the contestants and judges, and the editing make this an actually ok trash show. In a I hate it but its fun kind of way.
You're wrong, tho. It has much better pacing than your average American reality.
Kino show
It's about time you guys finally tuned into this entertaining shit show.
That being said, I fucking hate pic related. He's easily the most cunty judge. Don't @ me.
The guy on the far right won Forged in Fire twice, he's dope af.

I recently saw a guy mess up, start again and turned in what looked like a mangled horseshoe.
No that idiot went out in the first round
>amazing, you really did a top notch job with this blade, even the gods are ashamed that they never produced an item of this magnitude, nothing like this was crafted before and never will again
>that handle though
>it's a It will cut episode
That's not what I want to hear
remember the elf dude
All the weapon shows do this retarded shit. I remember watching a similar show that put the Zulu tribe weapons against knights or some shit. Makes no fucking sense.
>it's a contestant didnt actually forge anything and just cut a knife out of steel
Actually shameful desu
there must have been more than one then
Forged in Onions
Isn't forging just that?
oh shit wtf did he make
HE CUT THE FISH RIGHT IN HALF!!!!!
I never get this either.
>blade needs to be 11 - 13 inches
>contestant turns in a 10 inch blade
good solid spring steel is the way to go. it will hold a edge that can bend and flex to prevent chipping. i stopped watching the show when they started showing the dead animal anuses of the critters they were carving up. nasty. in the future they will make blades from crazy isotopes.
they all do that, cut the piece, grind it, temper it. They just not show it cos it's lame.
Mike Shinoda is BASED!
Oh man i remember that guy
Iirc the guy was some lame chink who didn't even use any forging at all, just used a cutter to make a knife shape and sharpened it. The only time I ever saw the judges legitimately mad
>it’s a woman on the show episode
A fucking kitchen knife kekkkkkk
>it's a contestant messes up but another contestant fucked up even more episode
I worked on the first couple seasons of that show, hung out at that guy’s japanese shinto shrine mountain compound. He was pretty cool
so fucking often, like its barely stopped burning off oil and they file test it "not as hard as I'd like it" Because its still 900 degrees dude calm down and remember your basics
There is no reason not to make a spinoff for the animal anuses. I don't see any reason to ruin a perfectly good slow panning shot of a pig's asshole with all of this metal forging and knife nonsense.
not trolling but I'm still not sure what's wrong with that?
on this show i've never seen anyone make a blade to fit someone's grip for the handle. the handle always seems to come last rather then first and get thrown on. lmao.
did vikings actually wear those stupid pendants? what's the significance
>this anus
>will keel
I saw that one episode with the guy who had never made anything ever. He made a 19 inch dagger and it looked like a shiv.
because all blade-smiths typically just buy blanks these days. no one makes their own steel anymore. making Damascus is just mixing blanks. all use lead springs or buy buy 1/4 inch sheets from the steel store in our areas. its actually cheaper and more consistent. hell some just use a cnc and then heat treat and cyro treat and sharpen. even cnc their handles and charge 500 for a 7 inch blade
The show is called FORGED in fire. Not cut near fire
see
>tfw contestant dips his blade into oil for a second then throws it into the water right after
it's a mjolner pendant, like you'd wear a crucifix
Same reason christians wear cross necklaces.
>brags about how its a custom sword made to his body dimensions
>mfw it bent to shit on the ice block
which is...
The same reason anyone wants to wear anything
most smiths only use heat for heat treating in 2019. everything is done with power tools. you can go yourself and buy a Damascus blank on amazon, cut it and sharpen it. attach a handle and call yourself a smith.
Which is what?
Its a retard filter
Do you follow Ben on IG? I'm pretty sure he's a faggot
Your missing the point. It's like going on MasterChef and using just a microwave. Sure youre cooking something, but the show isnt about just cooking anything. Same thing with Forged in Fire. It's a show about blacksmithing, not using modern bladesmithing methods
have sex
I agree J is a cunt, Ben is a nice guy who has equal knowledge
Gain height
Only men watch it, sorry little pansy boy
IRL, smithing has always been a highly specialized profession. Almost no one made their own steel. A lot of people even bought premade parts, especially armor smiths. The whole idea of someone turning a piece of raw ore into a blade is nothing more than romanticism.
that's why they give you challenges like taking scrap metal that you have to use with your base metal to make the knife
That is pretty much every episode
blacksmithing requires making your own steel too, the show cant have it both ways but it does. anyone can heat, bend, cut and sharpen metal and some are better than others. it is still not blacksmithing / forging, it is knife making.
>none of the ballistics gel dummies are big tiddied goth girls
>tfw u watch the judge's hairlines retreet further and further each year

that's what makes the show so comfy

>doesnt actually fix the knife when making it into round 2
>just adds stuff that flops around

I was going to say, I remember him getting blown the fuck out in the first round for not knowing how to make a hamon line. He even bragged about how good he would be at it, and that's the part he most massively fucked up. It was embarrassing.
>tfw the host of the show looks suspiciously like Bale
It will cut is usually after the first round's tests
It will keel is during the second round (home forge) test
>can't stand lack of silence
>watches a show about pounding hot metal repeatedly until it's in a shape suitable for pounding it into other materials like wood, copper, or meat
How the fuck do you live?
with my thumb in my ass
>contestant drops steel on the floor
It's not just this show, but every US show I've seen has pounding war drums, violin screeches and reversed cymbals everywhere. Even nature documentaries for fuck sake. It's like being battered about the head with a piece of iron.
based and sexpilled
youtube.com
I found the episode with the guy who had literally never forged anything in his entire life. It's so painfully obvious that he conned the producers to get on that show. How does one do that?
boo fucking hoo
I liked how Ben said in his intro video from S2 that winning would change his life, then he wins twice and becomes a judge.
>quenching time
>guy pulls out flaming knife and drops it on the floor or tries to put the flames out with his bare hands
>throws it in the water for good measure

That's not the guy I was talking about.
WHERE CAN I STREAM THIS EPISODE
>it will not kill
Look how that stupid nigger attacked it, though. Planning on cutting lots of pigs with the flat of the blade, Jose?
>the terrible ripoff that has a girl for judging aesthetics
>both claymores fail.
What the fuck man? People were making thousands of these 600 years ago and you mother fuckers can't even do it with the shit you got today?
I don't understand why anyone would harden just the blade on a knife smaller than 12-inches. Just stick the whole goddamn thing into the forge and harden and heat treat all of it.
That's all modern forging actually is. Do autists actually believe their folded 1000 times damascus katana is anything other than a stamped out block of 1060 that's been sharpened and heat treated? Why reinvent the wheel? Premade high carbon steel is already a thing you can buy off the internet for cheap.
take a closer look at edge aligment he hits this pig with flat
>guy makes curved instead of recurved knives and gets kicked out of the final before even starting the tests
It would still bend once the edge hit the bones.
*beeping sounds*
i'm still waiting for someone to flip out and hack off a judges ear with their failed sword or knife
surrendering the blade must be intense as fuck for security
I like to watch this show :)
It was obviously not hardened or heat treated properly because it doesn't even attempt to reshape after that flat hit.
That might be true
I remember that episode, top kek
>the pins dont line up
>they grab a hammer
expectations = subverted
>its a "faggot makes a knife that cant cut but somehow is not out" episode
>that time they had to make knives out of the failed knives of previous contestants
>have small tang
>make it even smaller
>its a female smith talks about how she's there to break stereotypes but gets eliminated in the first round episode
>make international championship
>American wins anyway
it's suprisingly nervewracking, but most these american fags don't help themselves with their obsession with oil tempers. You do not fucking need to temper from a higher temperature than a red heat, only consistency matters. They plunge that shit in at yellow heat and wonder why it fractures on grain boundaries.
>puts shits like a knight agaisnt a pirate with guns or swat with top notch gear against gemans with old rusty gear
>it's a "that one guy who dumps flux on everything" episode
Is that Goldberg in the middle?
>i need you to craft a sword that can cut 300 pounds off this fat black woman in less than three swings
the Waffen SS episode was kino, the equipment was just so obviously superior and well thought out and the peerless training and breadth of battlefields they succeeded on was very impressive.
>*fingerbangs wound until it splurts blood all over the place*
>"Yeah you can tell from the severe laceration that this fella is done for"
This was great. DESU though the American did the best work. French guy gets props for being such a bro though.
>happy af all the time
>beautiful home
>all smiles and jokes
>nothing ever wrong, all is bon mon ami
Definitely one of the comfiest episodes
yes
he's terrible
while FoF takes weeks to shoot and they cut it down to an hour run time
Knife fight uses every second of the recorded footage and the announcers struggle to find anything to talk about
it's painfully bad and should be cut down to just 30 minutes
It would be harder to work with when it’s hardened, but that’s not really that big of a deal when you’re only making a single knife.
I think the girl is less offensive than whatever is going on on the left
>It's a judge is visibly aroused while he's doing the kill test episode
Where can I watch the whole series?
I'm just saying, it's easier. People don't harden and heat treat entire weapons like swords because there's no point and it'd be hard to have a forge that large. But if you're doing some tiny little knife, rather than risk the tang breaking, just harden and heat treat all of it and prevent any possibility of breaking. It'll take a little bit longer, but so what? The whole thing has to go back in an oven for a few hours for tempering regardless.
It rustles my jimmies when they talk about Damascus steel when it's not
>mix two steels and then etch it with acid
>lmao damascus steel because patterns
This. I can shrug my shoulders at it, but still kind of annoying that what they're actually doing isn't called something else.
Damascus steel is such a meme. It's a buzzword to sell things at a marked up price to idiots.
>critical failure on the final round
He was on an episode of forged in fire. Made that axe with the useless shit attached
was blocked for me so found the dailymotion video. Is there a bigger fuckup?
>it's a contestant making cable damascus without welding both ends before twisting the cable episode
>scrap metal episode
>guy can't uncoil the spring he picked
"Damascus" steel is a meme. Damascus steel is a lost secret of metallurgy. Nobody still knows how to make it
fuck off qyburn you cant outsource your job you oldfag
>chromium steel
bizarre choice
>tfw you watch two episodes back to back and in one only one guy is somewhat competent and wins because the other two messed up, and then in the other all three guys could easily be winners and beat that last winner, make great knives, but only one guy makes it and it's tense as fuck.
>DURR ITS LE PATERN WELDED
People who have sex all call it damascus
>Its a canister damascus episode
>they dont use whiteout
>they dont weld the canister properly
That was a recentish one wasn't it? I vaguely recall that the guy was doing retarded shit the whole round and the judges were saying, "we might have to intervene at some point."
In the show, there is no one who was as incompetent as that guy. He literally lied, there's no other way he could've been that bad.
That's like calling some shit reciprocating saw from Harbor Freight a Sawz-All
I mean you make radar guided AAA by attaching all the guiding and aiming parts on a mundane artillery piece so the same should be possible if you build a ballista that could interface with the actually advanced hardware.
It would be completely worthless but theoretically it should be doable
>all right Smith's, for the final round you'll have five days to complete... THIS
>Boeing AH-64 Apache
>Take it mind it must be fully functional and fit the following parameters
it was the first season so I bet they were just trying to get contestants, plus its probably tough to verify if someone actually knows how to smith without actually looking at them do it
>all right Smith's, for the final round you'll have five days to complete... THIS
>AK-47
>Take it mind it must be fully functional and fit the following parameters
Sometimes it seems like they don't do any research on the contestants.
That's doable though
They're most likely just happy as long as they aren't convicted pedophiles.
its because goblins dont have large attention spans so unless they are kept constantly stimulated they change channels to the shopping channel or CNN or some other cancerous amerilard electric jew channel
>Hand the judges completed AK-47s
>All right smiths it's time for the judges to test your weapons. On you!

Didnt he win though? Didnt the other guys sword break, but since "you can fix a bend more easily than a break" he won?

Haven't caught up on the last couple of episodes. I'm guessing they found a shitload of gold and are all millionaires now?
And that's not Trautman.
>tfw knew about damascus steel from vagrant story and am still waiting for them to combine bronze and iron to make hagone
By now Im not spoiling anything by saying no, they haven’t found shitloads of gold. Still my most favorite comfy show though. Also dan died :(

there was a dark souls episode?
>Guess the contestants needed to spend more time in the forge.
This show is based and redpilled. 99% of the contestants are men and the women who do make it on clearly deserve to be there, but almost never win because let's face it they're women in a man's trade. Related, no one ever advances or moves in because they're more entertaining or for progressive points; the judges have integrity and only the best weapon wins. Also the host and the judges are clearly bros in real life and it shows on camera. If you don't like Forged in Fire you're a faggot.
they've specifically mentioned dark souls before when they made a shotel(?) i think
This
Had a friend who didnt like forged in fire but wanted to be a welder or some shit.
Faggot moved to florida and is welding pipes for gramps now
Any idea where I can watch this?
Can't find on Torrents Youtube blocks the full eps in my country.
Would be nice if someone could extract that as webm
what was he thinking, bros?
what a faggot on the left, thinks his whole life is some sort of steampunk fantasy i hope a pack of niggers rape his asshole
Do someone remember the episode with the cute trap and his old mentor?
uwu
He looks like dork
He looks like fabio and hes sexier then you will ever be

I actually think he pulls it off, and don't think anyone else could even come close.
You mean pic related?

his ice chop autism needs to stop.
>you can fix a bend more easily than a break
Essentially that's exactly what happened. It not only made sense but it's the truth, a broken blade is hard as fuck to fix but a bent one can be tempered and made harder so it hopefully won't bend again
>it's a call in the paramedics episode
I swear he had that same haircut but shorter.
It's to cater to the micro attention spans of Americans
one little shit aping dave's waistcoat won that one time sadly
So the bald ur-gayt wants the hunk on the trone and the man whore wants the hoe. Makes you wonder.

I thought the episode where they took apart a car to make a knife was pretty cool, some dude took one of the coil springs
it's the best option, suspension springs are often pure 5160
Which episode?
I'm surprised the fire department saw his fucking set up and the most they said was "move it over to a different part of your yard"
>always wanted to become a blacksmith
>it won't generate enough money for living alone
>have deskjob instead
>developing nerve damage in dominant arm
I won't make it guys, my dream is slipping away..
I feel you, being a blacksmith before fire arms would've been the shit.
I love how brutal the judges are sometimes. They don't hesitate to dq someone for not following directions.
Completely unrelated but I wish Junkyard Wars would come back.
I'm more of a 4140 man, myself

>>that old guy who finished 30 minutes early and left to go get coffee
He is based. Pretty fucking mad when he lost when he did the final weapon challenge when he's could cut the pig in one go while the other guy's needed to do two swings.

damascus is such a fucking meme
when every fucking final round is damascus it gets so overplayed and boring
we get it dude, wavy lines, so cool
There was an episode where they had to work with steel cable. One or two of the contestants forgot to weld the ends together so the whole thing just crumbled to pieces.
I became unreasonably upset.
>arm chair blacksmith criticizes from his junk food cave
There is a reason fat nobodies like you are making Hail Mary passes at the superbowl or a shitty sharp piece of metal on TV.
