Shotel...in Indonesian this weapon is "celurit"

Season 2 strength test = We're going to cut through some vines. Season 6 strength test = We're going to detonate a nuclear warhead on your blade. You suffered some edge rolling on the warhead test, which indicates a problem with your heat treat, for this reason, you cannot be the forged in fire champion.

Assassins creed origins also had them

A lot of people are saying Burt's blade wasn't historically accurate, which isn't true. He could have curved the blade a bit more, but this type of sword has potentially been used by a number of different cultures from around the fifth century BCE, so there has been a LOT of variation in terms of design. His blade actually resembles a lot of older historical examples from the early middle ages.

I see your point, but the drawing for them to follow was of a hooked Chatel. So in my eyes thats what he should of made. I would of failed him for simply not following the guidelines of the contest.

The shape of the blade was designed to hook around a shield but he tested the blade more like a 'normal' sword

A blacksmith is the middle man between a warrior and a blade. The final artefact must help the warrior to accomplish is goal in the battlefield. So if you are testing a Smith you need to consider in your testing the warrior, the blade and the enemy.

So the swords purpose was to hook around enemy shield and dismount the enemy. Yet neither test was designed for that type of effect. Which sword would do a better job of that?

So many people complaining about the curvature of Burt's blade. Even though if you look up actual historical shotels you can see a very large variety of curvature in the blades. Burt made the superior blade, its not about the curve...

They should have put a barrier in front of the dummies for the "keel test". That way, it would show how effective they were at getting around shields and parries. I feel like the more curved blade should have won this for that reason.

Burt is like a cat playing with his competition like their mice

Chad's shotel looks a lot like Roadhog's hook from Overwatch. I can't get it out of my head, the shape is perfect.

Why the f this comment isn't the most liked one😂😂

Burts blade looks more like a weed slasher/brush knife than a sickle. I have restored and repurposed many of both in all different shapes and sizes for fun in between working on axes and hatches. I must say though if I had to pick one to use myself it would be Burts, much easier to use and fight with that less pronounced curve and way easier to sharpen. I can't tell you how many times my hands and fingers have fallen victim to the bite of a sickle while doing the final polishing, definitely way more than knives or axes despite working with them much less often.

@dramalexi

2 жыл бұрын

Right. The less curved Shotel has more reach und would be more practical to stab behind a shield or cut the backside of a knee. The more curved one would be better to pull a shield but still it's not that easy if your opponent anticipates that very move.

Anyone saying Burt's blade wasn't hooked enough, compare it to the reveal weapon. They almost match curves. If anything Chad's hook design went too far.

@87BeanMachine87

2 жыл бұрын

The reveal weapon was propped up at an angle, which understated the curve. Neither one of the contestants got it right.

Balisitic dummies should’ve been holding shields. Doug could first see if he can poke the wielded from behind the shield, then hook the shield and disarm the dummy. This sword is supposed to be very proficient when used this way.

Thanks for uploading this! I watched the Judge's Deliberation on this one and wanted to see the actual competition.

Chad blade is Hook indeed, with the inside sharpness will not work due to long edge hook preventing powerful slice.

That was one weak-sauce strength test

I just want to know who does the closed captions for these videos? More than once the captions called this the forest and fire competition.

Uses oak drum for strength test on Kilij, uses vines on this weapon.

Sometimes I just watch specific Forged in Fire episodes over again just to admire the beautiful craftsmanship & detail the blade smiths put in there work. Despite the historical accuracy of the weapons & tests that are made & performed on this show. And Burt’s Shotel was PHENOMENAL!

That was the weakest strength test I've ever seen. Vines? Really?

I like the dark souls plugs

If there where deformations from cutting vines they would have a problem!!

The problem was in the tip of the blade. The loser's tip was TOO heavily curved, to the point where it was almost bending back towards the handle. The Shotel has a very deep curve, but the tip still has to point forwards so that it doesn't get stuck.

This sir, will keal.

Good battle, if Chad's cut was equall in the final test I think he would have won this 1
