The references to Baileys keychains have gotten to the point where I think we need a 10 "awesome" keychain video
Agree, would be great
agree 👍
Lol
Go check out rekt but they haven’t posted in 3 years 😂😂
They should each pick 3 keychains and Bailey should rank them/ name one the dopest XD
Tanner: What would you do if you had a sword right now? Woods: Probably... go and watch some tv...
It was the most woods response ever and I love it
I'm watching this video with a german ww2 sword lol
The best part about this episode was Matt showing off his badass lightsaber skills.
true
And tanner running away
Also tanner serenading us
He got mad skillz with that saber
Yeah actually
I love that Mat said he was hungry yet wood's was the one constantly eating the fruit
That was my favorite part just seeing woods just keep getting bits of the fruits to eat lol
Vlogger boy is a hungry boy
someone is going to be the first to say "Matt*"
Munchies lmao. I know he and I think Tanner smokes and I don't think Matt does. But I think that's one of the reasons they have a lot of snacks on set lol
That’s cuz woods doesn’t complain about life lol
You can't start a Dope or Nope episode with Woods using a sword and NOT expect me to immediately be excited.
Rekt be like...oh wait...
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
Woods+swords= excitement
Rekt vibes
@@audisnewbeginning8616 honestly. It's crazy to think how long ago rekt was poppin
When they bring back rekt for a dope or nope cross over. Absolutely love it!!! I’d be fine with seeing more destructive things like this 😂
Had the same idea xd
I honestly feel like if they did more videos like this , they'll bring rekt back to life
"Dope or Nope" where everything that gets "Noped" gets totally destroyed.... I now want this to be a thing they do!
@@Shiznittlebizbampop1 this was a thing jus a different channel. I hope they bring more of these videos because it reminds me of rekt
@@antonioanchondo8488 I know, I remember when they started Recked. But I'd like them to either smash all the "Nope" stuff they have in that episode or they collect like a months worth of "Nopes" and have the Recked team come in and destroy it while showing quick clips of why it was a "Nope"
Woods is the human equivalent of Wall-E, and I fully believe he has a collection like what's in the movie 😂
Wall-E is the best.. and so is Woods. 🥰
This is the first time ive watched Woods in 3 years and hes is the most not shy man ever lmao
Yes, I too have seven legs in the bottom draw of my man cave.
15:37
Fun Fact: During the making of LotR in New Zealand, Sean Bean wandered for two hours to the set in full costume. So if you were lucky and wandering around New Zealand in the early 2000s, you might have been lucky enough to see Boromir tracking through the woods.
Matt was actually pretty clean with the lightsaber twirls and stuff 😳
Bruh frfr…. I didn’t think I was the only one thinking it 😂
I love the friendship between the whole crew and it is amazing on how it grew, which is one reason why I love watching dope or nope
they seem like business partners and not really friends tbh :/
@Don't Read My Profile Photo nobody cares
@@garrettgeorge9829 from everything we know they’re actually pretty close friends.
@@garrettgeorge9829 nah they're all close friends. That's evident from the Matthias channel and Behind 863 (when it was available to watch)
@@garrettgeorge9829 u must not be watching this company for long then to have that opinion
For those without sword knowledge: T-10 steel is type of spring steel similar to 1095, it's good for taking a deeper edge (id est making it sharper), but sharp swords lose edge retention more quickly in a combat scenario and thus it'd be ineffective more quickly than a sword that is merely sharp enough. Typically the 'best' steel for a sword is 1060 spring steel giving a good balance of flexibility, hardness, and edge retention. Other popular steels include 1045 steel which is your baseline 'budget' sword that is still moderately effective and your 1095 or T-10 steel as mentioned which is a harder more unwieldy steel. The first sword was actually a respectable sword at least in terms of materials 24:50 Real swords are about 2.5lbs - 3.5lbs they're hardly heavy even a 2 handed war sword was usually under 5lbs. (about 4.5lb for the upper limit of war swords.) Hangers and cosplay swords tend to weigh more because they're built for blade profile not combat.
Thank you for this. My brother brought home a 3 piece set (Katana, Wakazashi, & Tanto) a few years ago. When I tried to lift the katana I found it very heavy. Mind you I'm also 5'3" 103lbs, but I thought it would've been lighter. I do know that most, if not all, katanas aren't "real" katanas outside Japan. But I didn't know they made certain swords heavier for blade profit. Good to know.
@@TwiggyHetfield27 Yeah if it's intended to be a hanger then they tend to be ill-suited to swing around and attempting to swing them around can cause serious injury if they're too heavy. Hangers also typically are made from different metals meant to resist tarnishing rather than being good for combat. When I say 'good' steel for combat you want it to be flexible, the old proverb about the tree that bend is one that doesn't break applies to swords as well, but spring steel tends to be more expensive and harder to work with for ornate designs. Most katana sets are designed to be hangers even those typical bought in Japan are meant to be hangers. Typically a Japanese family would have a heirloom katana that would hang mounted in their house if they were a family of high enough stature, these swords weren't actually intended to be used either even in the medieval era. I'm going to be a little nerdy here, so upto you if you want to read ahead, but I also included your 'ideal' sword lengths that you'd typically carry on a daily basis for both Japanese and Western style swords at the bottom if that interests you at all. For katanas specifically, katanas is simply 'sword' in Japan whilst they typically refer a high(er) quality tachi or uchigatana there isn't a lot of standardization on what would be called a 'katana' especially when single edged swords from around the world would technically be referred to as a katana. Unpopularly for those who enjoy Japanese culture the Katana tends to have issues compared to western weapons. A katana can pretty much only be a cutting implement, they're ill suited against armor and they also tend to be shorter than the equivalent western sword. In terms of cutting edge a European style sword can have an edge that is sharper than a katana should you place an emphasis on cutting capacity, but the flexibility of the European style design allows you to sacrifice in one area to emphasis others allowing you to have a sword that might have better thrusting abilities for instance or have dual edges (which allows different set of strikes using a reverse swing) The major benefit of a katana is that for a beginner the katana naturally wants to align it's edge, meaning that you can be less skilled and still hit that sweet spot for the edge to cut which makes them popular amongst youtubers and other amateurs it also unfortunately leads to a lot of misinformation as somebody trying to do a cutting test tend to be naturally more successful with a katana leading people to believe they are 'better' swords when it's typically the opposite. Historically Japanese steel was also of a lower quality so they did a folded steel technique which allowed lower quality steel to behave like that of a higher quality which is why a good sword maker in Japan tended to receive more renown than sword makers in the West since it was much more of an art to get the most out of the lesser material. With your listed height and weight in terms of Japanese swords you'd be looking at a roughly 27 inch sword that weighs roughly 1.7lbs as your 'ideal' sword. Keep in mind this is based on a sword you would have been wearing around as general purpose not what you'd want to be taking to war. What western culture typically calls a katana wasn't really used in as a war sword even in Japan (They had much longer swords and pole weapons like the West, they stereotypical katana was more for honorable duels amongst Samurai.) The sword you'd be using would be called a Shaku, it's a type of Japanese short sword. If you were to order a Western style sword your equivalent 'ideal' sword would be 28.5 inches and approximately 2lbs again this would be your arming sword that you'd just walk around with on a daily basis. And just for a bonus tidbit, your height and weight are on the low end for a soldier of the time period so if you were to go to war, you'd likely be given a 2 handed war sword. Polearm such as pole axes and warhammers were generally reserved for larger individuals whereas those of shorter and lighter stature might find them unwieldy. A war sword adds length but allows for the 2 handed grip. Obviously since it's a 2 handed weapon you'd not be able to carry a shield, but swords tend to have a higher defensive capability by themselves than other weapons even if they come with certain drawbacks such as being relatively ineffective against full armor.
As my metalwork teacher said "Even a spoon can cut if sharpened" that's why I never trust a sword demo being genuine
@@kevinmorrice Eh you can generally tell by the setup and the experience of the wielder if the demonstration is 'genuine' or not. If you're trying to cut through chainmail and putting it against a tree then yeah you can tell they don't know what they're doing, but if they set it up against a skin analog that gives a bit when hit you have a chance for it being genuine. As for the spoon analogy, kitchenware tends to be much sharper than than swords. You can typically hold the blade of a sword and not cut yourself (depending on the type of sword and it's intended use) since you get more leverage with a sword having it somewhat sharp still lets you cut on a strike. The swords in this demo were pretty obviously dull and their setup was flawed, but they also didn't claim it as a demonstration either so it was just entertainment, so it was fine.
Woods has a T-11
Woods is my new spirit animal and if he gets dropped or leaves I riot 😂 Dude is dope af and embodies how I'd react in these situations.
Woods just biting all fruits after they get cut. Real toddler energy lol
When the first thing you see is woods using a sword you know this episode is gonna be good
This channel has came so far compared to when I first found this channel 7 years ago. I have grew up with this channel and I can't say thank you enough for giving me something to watch when I get home
Come*
Grown*
Same fam. Matthias basically raised me. Hi5 studios was like a family i never had. And i just recently came back today after 3 years. It hurts so much :'D
YES! THE SPECIAL TIME EPISOOOODE! FINALLY. I don't think I've ever been so eager for a episode of Dope or Nope to come out.
lmao me too
Who els loves these guys
Me
Me
Me
E me
Woods is my all time favourite person
At 6:15 woods takes a bite of the coconut and absolutely hates it. I was dying laughing.
I gotta say, I love that the "you're wearing an apron" joke made the cut! We need more content makers like you guys- completely disregarding social peer pressure. Much love!
To be honest, kinda wanted to see Tanner try to cut a fruit with his earring
I love this channel. I’m always pumped to get my notifications. This is the ONLY channel that I watch like I would a weekly tv series
Petition to put Matt in the next Star wars, he's way to good with a lightsaber 😅😂
I haven't been here for years... good to see the boys are still at it.
At this point the channel is just Tanner: "Hey, I kind of want a sword." Matt: "Actually not a bad idea-" * *video* *
Check out Neopixel lightsabers. It's a different kind of blade with LED's going through the entire blade instead of the blade being iluminated from the hilt. makes for (in my opinion) way cooler effects. I think the Best ones come with a so called "Proffie" board. but there are other really good ones like "Xenopixel" boards. If you like Lightsabers i suggest getting one of those. they are so much fun!
We need more videos like this,playing with weapons just like REKT
Can’t wait for the woods special time vid!
absolutely loving Tanners jokes today 😂 has me in tears! keep being awesome guys
I first discovered you guys in 2020, you guys put a smile on my face all the time, your awesome Matthias. Could you guys please do 10 ANIME PRODUCTS? I would love to see that.
i got rekt nostalgia from this. i love you guys, and all your content across the channels (discontinued ones included) so much and have been here since team edge was a channel shot in matts garage and back yard! it really feels like you guys have grown up alongside us, and its comforting. even if your content is catered towards being family friendly, you guys have really gotten confident with it and i love it!! you got jokes for the kids, the teens and the adults in the family, and i think this is helped by the fact that you guys are very open and close with your audience. unlike most content companies, you guys actually take the time and effort to personally connect with the audience, and constantly requesting for our feedback on the content so you guys can work to both make content WE like, as well as content you guys like to make. You guys take the risks most other companies won't, and I honestly believe Hi5 to be one of the best companies out there, as you guys really aspire to make EVERYONE happy in the experience, both your audience and your employees. I honestly could go on about how much I love you guys but a comment section is no place for an essay. Keep up the good content! Here and across the other channels. ❤️
Woods probably has a collection of vintage pencils and pens
Just got major Rekt vibes🤣 Matt Woods and Tanner I'd a hilarious trio 🤣 😆
Now THIS is a Dope or Nope video I'm so interested in watching.
mhm
16:12 Tanner in 863: A perfect Square. Matthias in Dope or Nope: A perfect Star!
Has anyone else here noticed that This might be the most amount of times that they've rated products a Dope on this channel. I think this might actually be a record 4 the amount of times Matt, Tanner and Woods have rated products a dope on this channel. Congrats guys you definitely nailed it! Gr8 job. This episode was so funny I loled about 6 times during the video. This was the best Dope or Nope video in my Opinion. Anyway keep up the gr8 work.
Matt looks at Tanner like "non cut knives??" Then proceeds to put his saftey glasses on, and they fall off. Lmao 💀 🤣
Matt's spinning skills are dopee!🔥
It’s been literal years since I last watched these guys and it literally has not changed
I didn't know I wanted to see this until I saw the title and I've never been more excited until that moment
I’m finally early to a dope or nope video! I’ve been watching this channel for a couple years and I love you guys so much. I wish I lived in California so I could meet all of you. Don’t ever stop what you’re doing, I look up to you guys and watch Dope or Nope every day. Love from Texas ❤️
Matt and Tan Man are having fun with the swords cutting fruit, while Woods is just eating the scraps 💀
Tanner- "if you had a sword right now, what would you do with it?" Woods- "... I'd probably... go... watch some TV"
15:19 absolutely gets me, tanners instant reply with “most” is comedic timing at its finest
*Woods is a menace with a sword* 👊😎
You guys are so wholesome. You are amazing and I hope God blesses you always.
Woods special time is getting weed lol wholesome all right. Go woodland
“10 swords for those who live on the “edge” ft team edge” is what I wanted to see but this still works
22:58 I cant😭💀 Matt : Lets see how much i can intimidate tanner Tanner: **runs off set twice**
Petition for Tanner to get a Dope or Nope episode all to himself just as Matt and Woods have before.
love this video lol your humor is priceless😂 wish i could go to that store to see it for myself
can't wait for woods special time episode
Woods brings a much needed chill energy to the channel
I have never bin this early in my life
Definitely some Rekt flashbacks. 🤣
I just love how on this old set the guys were just non stop destroying that table
Yasss!!! My weekend is now complete! The 3 Wisemen have entered the building! 🔥🔥
I neeed a part 2 this looks so awesome guys. Plus, if u could find a Thranduil sword ( donno the name) it would be so epic honestly, more ideas, a long claw or anduril perhaps. Damn there are just so many examples and cool stuff out there. Now I want to get one asap.
I would love to see 10 cool gadgets from popular anime shows. Hopefully would see some daggers and swords or even a costume on tanner haha
I remember the old dope or nope set with Michael and I remember when woods was first hired and he was my favorite and now to see him on one of my favorite KZhead channels is amazing
20:17 This made me laugh when tanner said this “ I just cut this table in half that’s how sharp this sword is.” Matt “ bro it’s a folding table.” 😂😂
Possibly the most entertaining DOPE or NOPE video! 1:27
Remind me to never get into a sword battle with Matt xDD
I just remembered this channel, I have not watched you for years, but I am happy I remembered you!
3:00 Tanner: why are kiwi so hairy? Rambutan:
literally the best day when they upload im so exciteddddddd
Loved this episode. 100% missed opportunity tho to get some Demon Slayer swords :( would love to see some of those
Ok, this is definitely one of my favorite Dope or Nope videos of all time!
I love when you guys get out of the studio to play with the things you bought, it’s really funny!!
So sweet been waiting so long
I would love to see them react to really high quality lightsabers (400 dollars and above) They are well worth it in my opinion
This episode was incredible! Nice work y’all!
This is one of the only channels I use to watch when I was in middle school that I still watch after just graduating college
Nice to see another REKT video
I feel like woods would have a lot of just random climbing gear that he just doesn't use.
I think we should take a moment to appreciate the table for withstanding so much abuse over the years
Matt:"under what circumstances would you kill a man?" Tanner:"most"
Not tryna sound like a bot, But can we appreciate how much time and effort they put into their vids?
yesssssssss
Sounds like something a bot would say 🤔
@@itshamstertime2709 but really Im not a bot 😂
@@Umer4497 okay then, I believe you. Maybe
@@itshamstertime2709 :/
If we’re talking Special time, Woods owns a bong and maybe a grinder. If we’re talking in general, he probably owns a lot of art, a guitar, a skateboard, and crossbows. Maybe even a record player or a miniature car collection. I honestly have no idea lol
"I'd probably go and watch some TV"! 😂 Great episode, guys. I love the mix of Dope or Nope and Rekt. Felt nostalgic.
You should have bought a katana from demon slayer
Yesssssssss
Whooooo
Whooooooooom
Just commenting to say thanks for making Dope of Nope. I recently found Dope of Nope and you guys are really great! Matthias, Tanner, and Woods bounce off each other really well and make me laugh in every video.
Clip it… Tanner: a perfect square?! - 863 Mathias: a perfect star?! 16:10
Y’all should do a video with Michael and pretend like nothings different.
Listen man, you guys need to change the upload schedule. I can’t wait this long for another stupid video. I have Watched every single video😢 to help me sleep. guess what I have finished all of them. I haven’t slept for 9 days now.
7:32 look at Lauren being the hype woman/emotional support of the dope or nope crew lol
I watched these guys 4 years ago.. decided to get a blast from the past.. Tanner still hits my funny bone..
I was watching this channel from its beginning but stoped watching it after Bryan stoped showing up in dope or nope but after 4 years this channel found its way into my recommendation list in KZhead. feels good to be back
I got my dad a William Wallace sword from his favorite movie, Braveheart, and it's gotten me interested in swords. This video was awesome!
one of the best team edge videos after a long while
i forgot about this guy, i remembered watching this guy at 2017 so i wanted to rewatch it to feel the nostalgia
11:57 the sword earring bit was so cool
I imagine Woods owns a toolbox full of different sized wrenches and screwdrivers.
DANG! Matt got skills with that saber!
That was most MOST excellent!! Great swordsmen, great swords! Wow the skill!
25:16 woods is the funniest one on this channel 😭😭
Lol the energy in this video is exactly what I was needing
My favorite video yall have ever done, this was absolutely hilarious!
Probably the funniest episode of dope or no that I've seen in a long time. Thanks Bois!
This is one of the 10/10 dope episodes.
