>contestant larps as a viking episode

Real Damascus(ie. Wootz Steel) is actually pretty impressive in regards to its attributes, especially for citting instruments.
Pattern welded damasuc looks nice, and functionally, the techniques used to make it are important to black smithing and metallurgy, but pattern welded steel usually does not have the same cutting performance as actual Eootz Damascus.

who /kukri/ here?

Thank you to whoever posts this. May this show stay on the air forever.

>burn through handle

That was one of the greatest troll moves to put that in the forge. I miss competitors staring at their handles for ten minutes, wondering why their epoxy wasn't curing.

this happens like 90% of the time in this show. and sometimes the competitor barely does anything just shaping a piece of steel and wins because of the stupidity of overconfident tryhards

On average it seems women are not skilled blacksmiths. Perhaps if they brought the girl who won with her master in the master and apprentice episode back..?

I remember that one, I was so surprised when that first head just popped right off. Really impressive.

blacksmithing is an all upper body strength thing
I used to do riveted mail and even that is hard stuff to do, and was what they would make starting apprentices do in the middle ages for hours every day

Ooos

Think season five episode seven maybe? Dude burned down his entire shop but managed to submit a blade with ten hours of work, which broke, but they were so impressed by his dedication they said they would invite him back.

Also some guy burned down his house and a small chunk of the neighborhood trying to dyi smith with a fire in a fucking barrel in New York after watching the show.
theepochtimes.com/forged-in-fire-becomes-destroyed-by-fire-as-amateur-bladesmith-torches-neighborhood_2377059.html

Well let's get some straight amazons up in here! Like full on can break you with their arms. I want to see some legitimate competition Remember when those tennis sisters got btfo by a drunk dude that was like 201st in the ranking?

It's because the 18 year old is the only one poor enough to still be working with substandard steel, and actually remembers how to get his heat treatment right.

The rest are inevitably always working with the same shit they've been using for the past few decades, and the second they get a new type of steel they shit themselves and cook it.

Even a red hot blade isn't going to do much but burn the shit out of you, it's not like they're sharp during forging. You'll get some nasty third degree burns, or if you're fucking around with a knife while sharpening it you could conceivably nick an artery in your hand or leg, but I can't really imagine anyone stabbing themselves in the chest and bleeding out before the ambulance arrives. The worst you could probably do is lose an eye.

But they send a camera crew back with the contestant, how would he pull that off?

They had some military guy stand in for Doug when he was injured and he decapitated the ballistic dummy in a single blow with some of these weapons. Shit was brutal.

I mean that there are forges set up for people to use in the same way that there are public gyms. It doesn't seem strange to pay to use a facility to make knives which you later sell.

Oh you meant that, but he sure went out of his way to fake the forge his own in that case.

Friendly reminder that this ugly dyke was the 2nd woman to ever make it to the 3rd round but was disqualified because she thought gluing the handle with some shitty rice paste was a good safety measure.

The memes have gone too far, there is no knife license. There is the offensive weapons act (which means you need a specific reason to carry a large knife in public, nothing to do with your own home), and there's a list of specific banned knives (like butterfly knives and "zombie" knives lol).
There is absolutely nothing illegal about you manufacturing your own knives as a hobby or to sell.

Why doesn't this guy test his heat treat with a file like everyone else?

His videos are quite comfy, at least were last year. Didn't watch him recently.

Thats my point senpai, still a major injury.
Also the rate at which knives explode and the judges are only wearing saftey glasses im surprised none of them have been gashed. Also a guy literally climbing up on equipment for some reason to sharpen his blade.
Really for just a TV show its incredibly unsafe, its very endearing how little safety or rules there are. Just medics on standby.

that's because it is a show by men, for men
smithing is just a dangerous thing to do, and the more time you put into your work the safer it will be but the show makes these guys work fast

I'll give you that but the knife he made was horribly constructed and only lucked out because one of the contestants had a problem with his arm.

>three hours to make a handle
>wraps the tang with paracord

Every weapon that broke on the show snapped in 2 clean pieces though.

>a guy literally climbing up on equipment
He was told to get down, because that really would have been a nasty injury and he was being stupid
If you've ever caught your thumb on a belt sander/grinder, it's a quick gusher. I almost fainted the first time, and I learned my lesson. No way I would ever have my body over one of those things. He was being a twat.

This show has spoiled me for how reasonable and clear cut the rules/judges are.

I put Chopped on for some background noise while doing work on the compy, and in the final round one of the two contestants forgot to include one of the mandatory ingredients. Being used to Forged in Fire, I was expecting her to be BTFO for missing parameters. Instead, she got the win and the poor guy who made a dish with all the retarded ingredients lost because they thought it was too salty or something. I was so disgusted I turned it off.

You just know the producers wanted forced drama in the show. The closest we got was with the sobbing guy who made that oddly designed fantasy hatchet knife thing.

Hey, at least he got his own show ().

Fuck, I didn't even realize that was him.

Is that the guy who made a fucking fantasy elf sword in the knife challenge?

>it's a tester does a lousy cut and pretends the sword sucks instead episode

The format of the show is so relentlessly rigid, that all it leaves is for the contestants to shine through
I can watch every episode in one go, and still be entertained because it's not about the host or the judges. Forged in Fire is the only reality show I've ever seen that makes it all about the skill of the competitors. It's pretty damn remarkable.
Such a simple concept, executed well. No drama, just skill.

>tester questions why a giant fucking 2 hander made for smashing spear and pike tips isn't razor sharp

But I hate your ponytail. And it's for that reason we're sending you home.
>user, please surrender your weapon and get the fuck out.

Ryu is one of the only competitors who really pissed me off. That shit with him bragging about killing a shark with a knife. What a fucking bitch made wannabe tough guy.

>I use a sat TV dish for my forge
>immediately loses
HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAAA

Pure dogshit steel, and super unrefined techniques. Basically any pointy bit will heat faster than the rest of the blade, which makes it more brittle if you aren't carefully controlling the heat, and they're already using pig iron shit with no carbon content, so that shit becomes even easier to break off.

You see all these rounded "leaf" like patterns because they're more durable. Plus, points aren't that important when you aren't trying to cut through anything tougher than human skin, most of these dudes were running around practically naked.

That's why I love it so much. When I first heard about the show, I figured I'd give it a try but expected something like Top Shot with a bunch of drama and grown-ass men acting like high school girls.
To this date there's been no reality drama bs in FiF. No backstabbing and alliances, no bitching at the judges. Pretty much the only stereotypical reality stuff in the show is Wil and how he talks like a reality show host.
Literally 90% of all the losers say that they had fun and learned something.
/comfy/ as fuck.

user he won the first time he was on the show

Yeah sure, but that primitive viking battle axe was shite if you ask me
Couldn't be bothered to make a proper haft, and still won. Muh "primitive lifestyle"
His axe sucked. The basic bitch of axes, and he won. Just a shit effort.

Literally forged it without a power hammer or any power tools using a satellite dish and coal. It was pretty fucking badass (though to be fair I think his opponent's haft broke)

Yeah, it's great man. The obnoxious soundtrack made by a drunk fifteen year old girl at a pub jukebox is forgivable, because I happen to like a nice riff, and it's just so wholesome as show. It's sometimes funny how earnest some people are because they're all American, but that's so charming too. I love watching people make stuff.

To be fair, it did look unwieldy. The haft handles did look pretty awkward to hold.
The axe heads on both weapons were far too massive, but because Ryu didn't treat his axe's haft at all and only shaved it down a little, he won over having an awkward haft which was well crafted. That was a really weird conclusion.

Okay user, let's talk about your blade. In the kill test, it cut through the pig carcass like it wasn't even there; then in the strength test, it held up even after Ben mercilessly batoned it into an iron nut, and finally in the sharpness test, it retained a razor edge. On top of that, Doug loved the balance as well as the handle design. But unfortunately this competition came down to the finest of details and, you still have no gf, so for that reason user, we're letting you go. Please surrender your weapon and leave the forge.

Fucking this. For once, we get to see people who aren't from New York or LA. I love the guys who come out of the Midwest, the South, or way up North like in Montana or North Dakota. There was that one guy from Alaska and had that shop off the side of a barren highway running through the tundra. He didn't even have plumbing. I have so much respect for those dudes.

There's tons of videos on youtube of Doug teaching karambit and twin stick fighting. He can definitely KEAL. The only time I saw him botch a cut was during a greatsword episode. Not that I blame him. Seamonkies don't have greatswords.

Theo is the best contestant they've ever had.

That was a surreal episode.
He fucked up the first round, but someone failed parameters. Then in the second round he fucked up his handle, but another guy's knife broke.
Then in the final round, it was as if all the curses that knocked out his competition turned around and were meted back on him.

They should have a champions match where the winner gets a cash prize and one of the weapons off the wall made by previous winners.

As far as Mia Khalifa, I agree.

The craziest shit happens on this show on who progresses sometimes you just get fucked, luck is definitely a part of the show. There's a lot you can do to minimize your reliance on it but sometimes its just not with you. They need to do more redemption episodes.

Your food is elite tier but that's about it

I love this show, katars are fucking cool

I don't know if it's intentional, but did they decide to mount the losing blades on the walls intentionally so that they'd literally become wallhangers?

Use canister damascus with steel harvested from a kebab stand to forge a shoe to throw at your enemies.

I thought those were the winners? Is there also a wall of shame?

You think they planned that challenge intentionally because they knew he was an armorer?

They are all wall hangers. The winners may be functional but I'm pretty sure nobody's utilizing the zweihanders or qatars made on the show.

I'm pretty sure I recognized some losing blades up there and just assumed they were all losers. Gonna have to look back and rewatch episodes.

I really enjoy this show, but I think one thing that would improve it would be having Wil Willis beat the hell out of anyone whose blade breaks. Am I right?

yes and no, it 'inspired' damascus but the processes of making 'wootz' (indian steel and damascus steel are totally unrelated, only the visible patterns in the metal are similar.

That's probably why Willis' readings sound literally phoned in.

Is that why all of my friendships break after I dunk them in water?

why the fuck would you drown your friends?

It's clearly in the shade

To test the friendship.

>it's a Japanese man kills himself with his own blade for disgracing his family legacy episode

well in that case you only won as they werent real friends

To harden them

but what if they dissolve

What is the proper seppuku etiquette anyway? Sometimes it's someone just slicing their belly open, other times they have a guy standing over them that chops their head off after they cut themselves open.

Got a couple warps.

Then you need to surrender your friendship and go home

i think the propper one is having the fella over

I believe the guy standing over them is so they don't suffer as much.

Assisted decapitation is "proper", the unassisted Hari kiri disemboweling is more typical as it's what would happen on the battlefield.

Why not just stab him?

you're supposed to disembowel yourself, the guy cuts your head off if you can't do it.

The "second" doesn't take the person's head off completely, apparently.
The person is supposed to perform at least a single, deep cut across their own abdomen, spilling their guts, and either signal or present their neck for the chop.
As far as I know, samurai are fucked the fuck up.
They will keal

>please surrender your weapon
>... and your other weapon

Nah

Its hilarious. You can bring whatever blade you want to the competition, it just has to pass an initial safety check. Then you cut through a timed obstacle course, losing points for fuck ups along the way. The fun part comes when you get a contestant who brings shit like a katana which bends on the first fucking obstacle. Or, when you get some supposed cutting completion champion who gets taken out because they can't even cut through a fish with one swing.

1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple of bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. With a broken wrist and a badly sprained ankle following a bar brawl he first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun" and that the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier and put spin on the ball that female players can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

Top kek,

Worse shit was the episode where they had a chef on. He just cut a piece of metal out of a sheet and sharpened it. Didn't even put it in the forge.

watching random people bring in Katanas they bought is quite humorous

>it’s a contestant fucks up with 10 minutes left and still starts again because “I’m no quitter” and turns in a still-coiled piece of spring episode

Name?

kora iirc see

The Green Beret's Madden tier commentary is hilarious.

I'm glad to get more Chad Wurtz too

The better question is will it keill?

forged in fire something no joke

karabela
my personal favourite is probably the spiked shield or the nepalese kukri. shield one has iliya a true artist, and kukri has jason iirc the true unit, pic related
she has spoken about this and she had run out of time to pin the handle, contestants have 45 hours through the 5 days to finish the weapon
tempering the blade in heated oil
ikr i notices sometimes the audio comes with a lot of echo like WW recorded it in a bathroom
FiF knife or death, its just Golberg overreacting the whole time, pretty cringe imo
