You do the weapon tests in The most reckless unsafe ways 😲
Just asking for a friend how does one acquire a cannon legally?
They should have a segment where they test sent in blades into competition as well.
Please show the Indian sword
SO YOU GUYS ARE FORGED AND FIRE ARE JUST GOING TO IGNORE THIS MAN MADE A DEADLY WEAPON FROM COOOOAALL?!!???!!! THE OTHER DUDE IS A MILLIONAIRE WITH EVERY MACHINE KNOWN TO MAN TO MAKE A SWORD AND MORE!!!! GIVE THAT MAN A MEDAL PERIOD. HE GOT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE MATERIALS USED AT YOUR FORGES NOT AT THE ONES AT HIS HOUSE!!! If that guy had even a decent forge I guarantee you he would have won by a mile
Imagine that sword bouncing back and slicing his head off and you just hear doug say under his breath it will keeel
LMFAO 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥴🥴😂😂
He screamed like it was about too love how he played it so cool after that lol
Comment of the year 😂
10/10 comment
Chris: -bending a spoon with a hammer- John: let me start up the plasma cutter

1000 to 15,000$ machine
John literally doesn’t even need the 10 grand
😂
@@kelcionray7192 the only reason he won 10 grand cause he spent again redoing the heating process for those 10 grands so he deserved it cause he gave his best
John: riding a horse to cut a watermelon Chris: cuts a stick off a tree
He literally cut the tiniest leaf off
BUT IT WILL CUT
Cuts the end of a limb and give a thumbs up. Wow

@@hellothere8411 is trash
He’s out making swords in the woods and this other guy has a plasma cutter
And a cannon
He never stood a chance
I read this before watching and knew who was who before they cut to the home forge scenes.
@John Doe DOES THAT MEAN JESUS WAS A FELLOW SOCIALIST? I BET 1000 BUCKS NO 10,000
It's doenst matter... if ur blade over quenched then ur screwed up it's all about skills and experience
This guy forging outside, without professional tools *Give this man a medal*
Ryu Lim is saying hi.
Pretty sure this dude is forging in the woods behind my house where the homeless camp is at.
@@D-Z321 ouch you must live in a real cockroach house

I think yk why
@@koala3299 woosh
@@hutch4463 his being sarcastic
Hmmmmm idk either... (LOL I LOVE BEING SARCASTIC WITH OTHER PEOPLE >-
You can say what you want about wealth and everything but IMO it came down to being lazy/not preparing. The guy knew it was weak and decided to risk it where as the other guy scrapped a project. Yes the details of the sword where fancier due to the money but that's not what failed.
“Hey guys, what’s General Patton doing out there?” “Oh, he’s just hitting wooden barricades with his officer sword. It’s his daily routine”
D-Nail only comment that made me laugh out loud
this comment deserves more likes...
That's literally the storyline of this show
Was it just me or did you think "uh oh" when you saw Chris's quench.
it was already over at that moment.
Yes the blade it's not ready to quench
Seriously tho.
Yeah only the part close to the tip is quenched properly... From that point I knew that the part of the blade that will be connected to the handle will break. Not quenched and the tension piles up there.. Cant blame him though. He got such a "traditional" machine and tools compared to the other guy.. It would be hard getting all parts of the blade shining hot together
all i said was "no"
A millionaire that has his own CNc machine verses an backyard guy
Seriously.... dude never had a chance.
more like a cave man XD
dino fide a*
Heat treatment and quenching has got nothing to do with being millionaire or broke. Heat treatment is all about experience, knowledge and personal skills.
Cecil wtf is funny about that?
3:48 when you order doug from wish
BAHAHAHA
Lmao
Neilson: swings weapon and breaks it “awwwwww that hurt” Emt: “my time to shine baby”
Blade completely destroyed and no longer recognisable, burnt to a crisp, molten, exploded* Sigh* "Your blade has suffered a catastrophic failure"
Congratulations! You are the new posts in fire champion. That's a title that comes with a check for 0,00 US Dollars good job! How do you feel right now?
Lol
Stupid judge almost decapitated himself.
@@cybern9ne stupid judge?! The blade was the problem. The other saber had no problem there was no reason the judge would expect the blade to come off the hilt.
Chris-said the heat was uneven, and blade was soft by the tang, he did not reheat. Expected end.
You sound like a pro now hahaha
And how exactly does soft steel break and not bend?
@@2.kanalummalmeinemeinungzu181 The molecules in metals form a lattice pattern (inter leave your fingers, that's a lattice). As you stretch the metal, that lattice gets tighter, think about squares becoming diamond. As it is stretched, the metal actually gets more brittle, because the lattice no longer has that flexibility. This is why it breaks.
@@rorysampson5492 you win
He was literally having to use rocks and coals as a forge so chill out bro
aww man I feel real bad for that guy. Considering his equipment was super basic I think he did really well against bald tony stark
The man made a sword in the wood not because he can't afford equipments, his just don't want his wife to find out whats his up to.
SuperCrazydada Haha you got it
Fax
Knew that Chris's sword was gonna break when he cheeped out on the heat treat
Was expecting a bend test and it would probably just stay bent.
Well thanks now I'm never going to go to comments before I watch the episode🙄🤣🤣
Cheaper out he is literally in a Gypsy encapment
A Thorfinn icon, I see you’re a man of great taste in anime.
Damien Taggart with the new update on mobile it shows the top comment directly under the video, I got spoiled so hard lol
Maybe add an extra day for homeforging before that judge gets seriously injured from some stress factored failure?
It used to be 5 days but they changed it
He knew the heat treat was bad , real loser move to not correct it . That’s what you get when you just sit it on the coals , he should have moved it back and forth for an even heat .
Or maybe just wear some light armor for the strength test
They also should not use red liquid for the ballistics dummy. I’m always having anxiety, i mean i dont know if thats Doug’s blood! No one wants to see doug hurt!!!
Sometimes they break. Sometimes hes stupid and breaks em. Likely it'll be his own undoing
Patton: Thanks for the sword kiddo guy: I put a spoon in there look
Literally never laughed harder at a comment. I can hear George C Scott grumbling, and the hobo smiling proudly about the spoon "I dunno what kinda metal it is but it looks cool"
Hahahahs, in case he has soup for dinner
"Slightly uneven heat" *sword is literally soft near the hilt*
and red hot in the top and freezing in the bottom
I think that it is time that the jury wears protective gear.
this is supposed to be a competition of some of the best weaponsmiths, the expectation is that they are good at what they do so I would like to kindly disagree
Yeah but for preventive reasons. Because Humans make mistakes
Yeah he has hurt himself some times before you'd really think they would set some precautions but they just never do. Guess hes really that expandable
I agree with this statement my friend. 🧐
@@bigsmok5014 any sword can fail with this kind of test
1:20 in. Calling it. Dude's blade is gonna break.
As soon as he did an uneven heat treat I knew it was going to break. Idiot.
Ditto
@@thomasfort1013 he don't got all the supply so what you mean
Thomas Fort he barely had any equipment. poor guy he did a pretty good job for the equipment he had to make the sword
@@ForsenForsen I get it, that he didnt have all the supplies but that is no excuse in getting an even heat treat. He knew the risk and it was extremely lazy and unsafe of what he did.
8:35 , that shout was priceless😂
What I love most about this series is that the losers are never that sour. They always go out with a positive mindset
Chris is a modern viking😂 " pray to the gods" and forging outside , respect man🤘
"Yeah my heat treat sucked and I know it sucked, not gonna redo it tho." *loses* :O
Suprised pickachu face
Yeah you could have gotten someone hurt bad you say your a weapons maker.hope your working for the other side.
2:29 where we droppin bois!
😂 yup saw that.
My man's forge was some charcoal on the ground with some cinder blocks around it. Very impressed!
J. Nielson: AHHHHH! I HAVE BEEN SLAIN! Medic: no cuts...
To be fair with adrenaline and endorphins pumping from excitement amd using the blade he likely wouldnt realize he'd be cut so having the medic there to quickly tell if and how bad a possible wound is, is actually incredibly smart I thought.
😂
i think he overreacted
@@ritvij2708 No, not really. Who wouldn't get scared by a sharp blade flying at their neck?
That's why they stopped Neilson from doing the strength test, he either break stuff and goes " awww" or goes like "awww the handle hurt my hand".
1:19 When you rush your forge skills but haven't farmed enough to get a proper forge.
That's sad 😕
Nobody: Everyone: Forged in Fire: I'm going for Damascus.
Then half a day later. “ I’ve decided not to use Damascus to make it easier.
@@arnarmagnusson8201 lmao true
5:36 "cut its heart out..." really, the heart sits that low and not protected by the ribs?
It's almost impossible not to smile when Doug says "It will keeeeeel" 😂
Stfu
@@jcrd500 no u
Rdrd tf is ur problem
Idk even know why he says it like when does it not KEEEL 😂😂
@@jcrd500 GTFO
Patton as a judge would be really funny. He’d just be cursing them out and saying neither of them win and then smash their blades and have a super long speech to everyone else about how terrible the blades were.
Ok
Lol
This show apparently does no research on their topic. The Patton Sword was copied after the French for thrusting, NOT slashing. The blade was not sharp on the sides. It was made for stabbing and the blade was long for use on a horse. My original is 42 inches long.
Blade flies off and kills judge. Doug: it weel keel
Not wrong
Imma be real with you, that guy forged his sword in the woods, without help or machines. He's the real winner here.
@Evanimas Rich guy could afford to restart because proper equipment gives that luxury in the form of reduced labor for results. I didn't watch this full episode, but based on what we see here, that rich guy had a proper forge to heat up the blade while the other guy was using coal which has a significant disadvantage such as heating up the sword evenly... He took the risk because he had no choice to if we are being honest with ourselves and even if he did start over, using coal as the method of heat treating, chances are it would have the same result. This is not to say he shouldn't have restarted anyways, considering he absolutely knew it was soft in one of the most important parts of the blade.
8:34 will Kill ....lol XD
Did not even cut him
Chris's lost the battle but win my heart. My favorite challenger in this show so far.
4:48 Don't wanna mess with that farmer
As soon as I watched him quench I knew he was done for. Only the end was red hot.. the rest was cold. Props for working with what he had, his forge was nothing more than charcoal and cinder blocks.
He knew what he was doing when he said: iet wiel cut
And keeel to
"I found this spoon that looks cool" Truly a connoisseur
5:48 oh man that face gets me everytime
Totally rooting for the guy with the cinder block coal forge. I have a brick forge like that at home and only hand tools like him. I know the struggle of making swords with that kind of equipment
8:33 it will keeeeeeeeel
😂😂😂😂😂
Lolhahaha
Hahahaha i was looking for this comment!!! Lol
Never ceased to amaze me what these guys can do with these simple setups. Also maybe next time try not to book contestants with drastically different setups in case the reach the final. Seems kinda unfair
He's so resourceful and creative tho
4:51 He has just become my idol
This is the most American thing I have watched
*Fires cannon* "MURICA!"
Watch the military branch specials
Hmmm ya cuz only americans can forge weapons
Not really
Facts
Uneven heat treating at 1:20. I knew instantly that the blade will break at the bottom
the Bald guy had every tool possible to make a freaking Sword while John was just chilling in his backyard using what he have
The moment when he smiles and says it kills
The backyard guy is a good man he need a medal 💯💯❤️
Ain’t no participation trophies here commie.
"Let's talk about your edge. . . . its sharp.." hahaha
5:45-5:50 J nielson finally accepting Doug goes a little crazy with the kill tests 🤣🤣
That's what happens when you forge a blade at the edge of a river with stuff you found inside the river, while your opponent has a friggen plasma cutter :D :D
8:36 that reaction😂🤦🏻♂️
Neil Mangcot Vlogs 💀💀💀😂😂😂😂
How they got his reaction and then skipped ahead 😂😂 0:14
Patton would have got himself keeled with such a soft blade.
Chris knows the real defenition of "hand made". Resepect.
I cant stop watching these great to watch 👍
Rich vs poor. At the beginning I knew who would win, lol
Or maybe just a hard worker against a dreamer. -Hard work beats talent, when talent dosent work hard.
Hard work vs. talent? 🤦🏻♂️Sounds like an excuse. In the end, there was no way for that dude to win no matter how hard he tries?
@@lucaslippi3324 . He had good ideas, but took the easy way and lost.
Fahrenheit 451 The problem here is that the other guy isn’t measurable more talented than him, at least from this video. Success does not imply talent when you win off of better equipment. I would beat Usain Bolt at the 100 meter dash every time if I started fifty meters away from the finish line. The race is inherently stacked against him because he has to run twice my speed, and then some to beat me. That is not hard work, that’s just stupid.
@@wage9073 . If you show up to a stress test in 'Forged in Fire' knowingly you probably have a brittle blade - you are setting yourself up for failure. Equipment has nothing to do with it. He should have made a new blade while he had the time, but his laissez-faire approach brought him down. As another approach early on in life would have bought him all the equipment he could ever need.
You would think that in a show where one of the tests is to beat the ever loving **** out of a blade to try and see how strong the blade is...that the person testing said blade would you know...wear protection. These blades can be ridiculously sharp and its honestly a miracle the judge didn't suffer a "catastrophic failure" of the neck lol. It's honestly a surprise that the show has gone on for this long without the judge getting stabbed or sliced open from a flying blade that broke.
i feel the same. They need to wear cut resistant protection, its not even that heavy.
John SCREAMS murca' ! I love it
Wills walk up when it’s time to tell guys to leave the forge is hilarious 🤣
*Screams harder than my 6 year old brother* -Sir, there is not a scratch on you. All the other strenght tests are fair when designed by other judges. This dude should not even be testing
so true
He always looks like he has no clue how to wield a sword. For instance, 7:44 that is not how you thrust. I seriously hoped he did hurt himself there.
M1santhropic me you do realize this is a durability test right
@@mentos6280 durability is a good thing in a sword. However the carrier ensures the durability by preserving the sword the best he can. Smashing it with the puropse of damaging is not an intelligent strenght test, is pure idiocy. This is why such failures happen, not because of the blade.
@@m1santhropist410 it was still a brittle sword to begin with, not his fault it's so weak for the test.
I mean was there any doubt that this dude’s sword was gonna bend or break? He literally had 2/3 of the blade still black when going into the quench smh
*When you hear that some part of blade is soft* Me:its going to break or bend
Doug Marcaida is so graceful in wielding the swords...
Chris:"cuts some leaves,"it will cutt"😂😆😂priceless.
3:49 HAHAHA you crazy guy
I LOVE WATCHING THEM FORGE AND WORK FOR THE BLADE!
Is it just me or did Doug kinda look like a mad man when he did the kill test
"We fought the wrong enemy." - Gen. Patton
3:14 he looked like ubbe from vikings!!!
Doug is just having fun during the kill test...
i love the subtitles ---blade breakes [dramatic music]😁
Better equipment = Winning
Bruh the one guy had like nothing lol
@Chuck Robinson Bruh did u see his blade when he quenched, that was beyond uneven. It was so obvious it would break/bend at the bottom of the blade just by looking at that quench xD. He must have seen his blade when he quenched, bruh i mean u gotta be basicly blind not to see it.
I always enjoy seeing people in their home forges when they are straight up bare bones. Dudes forge is literally a pile of coal on the ground haha. I remember there was a guy in his backyard whos forge was a satellite dish over an old trailer and found a bunch of piece he used from a junk yard.
3:49 Doug (in Thor's voice): I like this one
Why does dug seem so satisfied when he is killing and the way he says it will kill he is one of my favs
Pretty sure the dude can make a 'Forged in Fire' belt buckle
Hopefully in the future chris can get better equipment, good job on reaching the final though
It’s experience, they were making swords thousands of years ago and they’re still better than some mass produced swords from China
Allaan Snackbar how long did it take them to make those swords? That is like telling two people to plow a field in a couple days, one with their hands and another with a tool. Then, you criticize the guy using his hands for losing because ancient people managed to do it. If you think experience matters more than equipment you have absolutely no clue how anything works. It doesn’t matter if Hand-Guy was a farmer his whole life. I would beat him if you gave me a tractor, even if I had no clue how to drive the thing. This guy is straight up using cinderblocks in his backyard to heat up his sword. China could make perfect swords if they wanted to, but that isn’t the goal is it?
@@wage9073 the guy literally just needed something to get more airflow into his forge.. A hair dryer or bellows pump would have done the trick..
I love the forgeman said "it will cut " lol
5:51 Terrific😁😁
"It weel cut" hahaha
He hella screamed 😂
Chris: Bends a spoon around the handle. Me: There is no spoon.
Honestly, I enjoyed this type of video
"It will KEELL" He says covered in blood.
only if they knew what this guy had to work with. he would have won if he only had a quarter of the other guys equipment
Doubt
Thank you very cool
Yikes! That almost impaled his kneck! That is something I am always worried about in these fails
Why does this guy own a canon and why dont I have one
1:20 and we all know he's gonna lose But it will keal
@Tage Mudo keal
@@Abudzin kill

The cannon was the best lmao 🤣
when I saw the home forges I already knew who won lol
Jay is an idiot, i love when he gets the karma for punishing the swords on purpose

I don't know why. But this one,has to be one of my favorites.
