An interview with J. Neilson of History Channel's "Forged in Fire"
“I’m the crazy guy who swings knives on TV."
The smash of a hammer on hot steel was a call J. Neilson couldn’t walk away from as he spent the early parts of his adulthood searching for a purpose in life. Now that he's found it, Neilson has achieved the designation of Master Smith, established his own shop in Towanda, Pa., and -- most notably to fans, he's one of three judges on the History Channel's "Forged in Fire."
"Nobody's carrying swords around, but people carry knives,” and Neilson's are some of the best. Join the Master Smith in this NCPA exclusive video and see how he made his rise through the fire.

Love you J!!! I’m a Towanda, Penna. native. Love and appreciate everything you do. So proud of you 👍🏼!!! Will visit your store soon!!! Oh my goodness ❤️❤️
I'm a fan of this guy. J. is a master yet he's humble... and man can he swing it!
My favorite judge of the show.🤗
I’m a new smith and he gave me tips and advice on me getting started on this trade
Just WOW , Thank You for Sharing your time and memories with us...RESPECT SIR .
Miss you lots Mr Jay, thanks for some new lessons on an old craft hope to see you again soon
J is the best blacksmith, a very good person!
I watch and enjoy the show from Australia and will enjoy it even more since hearing J speak here. A down to earth guy who has travelled a working class road to become a Master of his craft, Kudos to him. Best Wishes.
Seen J on the judge home show,really nice and funny guy,brutal on the show doing the testing,looks proper pissed when testing but really seems to be genuinely decent guy.
Nice guy. I met him once at the ICCE show in Kansas City a few years ago. Would like to buy one of his knives someday, M.I. Combat Fighter specifically, or maybe one of his drop points. Bring the show back to KC!
J. Is a national treasure!!
I've been starting to watch "Forged in Fire" since early this year, and here, I'm deeply impressed by his passion for blade smithing, sharing his own thoughts or perspectives when it comes to his work, for being a judge on the series itself is really no joke. Nice! Greetings from the Philippines!
Thank you for sharing, very nice!
Respect him the most among the judges. I hear feel bad that kids hate the way he tests weapons. The strength test is fair. Good to know he tests his own weapons the same way, though
The first time i did forging i also used to do my work outside not depending how the weather was. Now ive got a inside workshop and im doing my stuff much more professional. Its a long process to get all the tools and mostly i produce them all by myself.
this show and pawn stars are the best 2 shows on history, there are others that are awesome, but this & pawn stars are AA+
Question to Mr. Neilson , have you ever tried making a " Feather Damascus " knife ? Thank You for Your time. Much Respect Sir .
J. Neilson almost any day: A nice guy. J. Neilson on Forged in Fire: "I'm going to ruin your day!"
I'd love to take a class from him. Someday when I can afford to go to pensilvania I'm deffinately gonna sign up
Your the man !!!!
Big respect sir
I love Forged in Fire.
How about get contestants to make an pair of sissors ?That would be a great technical challenge.
Not sure why this video got 9 dislikes, what not to like about J, He awesome.
Nice.
Never been able to own my own home hence I've never been able to have my own forge and I finally moved to Pennsylvania and I still can't do it. Every episode of forged and fire I watch I feel like I'm wasting my life more and more.
J is the best blacksmith
A real master !
You and I both sir
Strength test
Doug is favourite judge then Jay. A great knife maker.
Forged in Fire's Berserker Blade Breaker, 3rd favorite judge, sorry J, you lost out to Dave and Ben.
It must be a PA thing!!
I have a crap job I don’t care about I actually get abused because of my skill level I can pretty much do anything to do with construction home building automotive etc.
