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.

I wish the testing was more controlled. So that each blade had the same amount of stress applied. That said, respect to everyone taking part of this program. Great to see so many dedicated and skilled people in one place.

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.

The sportsmanship in this show is amazing. You never see this kind of enthusiasm and support anywhere else between competitors.

Did anyone notice how Dave usually compliments the weapons the bladesmiths make but with the claymores he just says "You delivered your Scottish claymores." Can't blame him though, they both failed pretty hard.

In the camping knife testing (starts around 20:50) the second contestant got robbed by the guy doing the strength testing. The first knife was struck three times on the spine of the knife close to where the knife made contact with the nut or closer to the handle. On the second knife, the third, and catastrophic blow, was delivered closer to the tip of the knife where it was unsupported by the nut. I'm not sure how many knives would have survived that type if hit.

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.

you know what i like about this show. The winners mostly support the looser with a pat or something. I can appreciate that. Know that some of these weapons are really unusual(not something typical that a blade/sword maker makes) so they can relate to the pain that can go into building something of that nature. Respect to the winners and to the loosers alike.

I really like this show. Smithing is something I've always wanted to do. This compilation is really well done. It doesn't just show the failures it shows a bit of what leads up to them and what happens after.

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.

I bet No one noticed Dave was even wearing a Scottish Kilt in the Scottish Blade Test. He was so looking forward to this weapon.

Whats funny about the first test is Doug hit the pig with the flat of the blade. He didn't hit it with the edge. I believe some of these tests are flawed because the wielder is not that familiar with the weapon. I'm not saying Doug or the others aren't proficient but when you test so many different styles of weapons you can't be familiar with all of them. Just my .02 cents. It shouldn't have bent anyway, but when it was tested for sharpness it was fine.

@dungeonsanddobbers2683

2 жыл бұрын

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.

Matthew's face at 09:13 is like: "Dude, did you not see it cut the thing in half? Why am I the only one impressed here?!"

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.

God, watching a weapon bend or crack is one of the most soul-crushing things. Let alone if it breaks entirely.

A blade never breaks alone. When a blade breaks, a smith's heart breaks with it.
