its a demi god sword so the weight would be an issue
HISTORY I love Hathiyar
Me to
"ima use damascus cuz I wanna do things a lil different" Said every blacksmith ever.
Damascus steel is very very strong as well
@@nightmareskull1181 not really no
@@williamdougie6213 if forged welded properly and the right metals forged together properly it can be stronger than alot of metals.
@@butwhy.5498 nah, back when it was first invented it was stronger but modern steels are a lot tougher bc they are made for specific purposes, Damascus was used due to a lack of technology to make the best steel for a specific task
*bruh*
Imagine breaking in into Doug's house as night, and hear him shout from one of the rooms "it will keel" and he comes out with a sword, covered in blood.
Bruh 😂😂
This is the Best dude XD thank you!
🤣🤣
With that grin on his face,like a Cheshire cat😁
He will probably tell you that your light saber it will KEEEEEEEL.
You know you're doing a good job at parenting when your child says "It will keel" with a smile in their face
😂😂😂
*keal
YO WHEN SHE SAID THAT HER SISTER LOOKIN LIKE 😶
🔥Merica 🔥
...or when they respond like pets while fetching... 😅
This show stands out among all the other reality shows, it's just straight to the point, no drawn out fake drama, "tense" moments and other nonsense, just straight up swords
There’s some drama, which I don’t like, but I’m glad it isn’t overused. Enough for it to be a proper show.
I love it. I love that it's all about technical skill. Sometimes they try to make it more entertaining by adding a theme, which is fine, an acceptable way to spice things up.
It is a breath of fresh air compared to most other shows. Just dudes showing off their crafting skills with respect
Sword sticking through jays chest Jay: a little bit of a problem here Rob!!
Doug: It will keel Jay: collapses to the floor dead
Ive just lost my hand there so itll be hard to continue with my left hand
Lmao 🤣
@@Sceptile29 lmfao
“Jay, unfortunately you’ve sustained a catastrophic injury and you are no longer suitable to judge. I’m going to have to ask you to please leave the forge.”
I love how he says it with a smile : "it will keeeeel"
Ok
Si
It's why I watch forged in fire
Well that and the hunk Wil
me: YESSSS FINALLY SOMEONE KNOWS HOW I FEEL *best friend walks in and sad music plays on her phone* me: im sorry *mind*: not
This show is so positive and uplifting compared to others that are about cooking but are so toxic.

its to add energy to the show ffs. otherwise it wouldnt be animated

Came for this comment. ROFL
@@MultiSodium ah the word "daddy", "sword" and "came" together doesnt sound good together
Louder
@@enchanted4468 "Daddys sword"
I am scared if a kid could say that with a smilr
I like how positive the jury is towards the smiths. Even if a sword fails they try to find the positives instead of rubbing in the failure.
This entire show is filled to the brim with giga-chads who care not for the glory, but the experience and broship that forms between themselves. May these kings find future success.
It has a general gentlemanly vibe that is refreshing.
This : *exists* Percy jackson fandom: *i* *n* *t* *e* *r* *e* *s* *t* *i* *n* *g*
I am definitely a Percy Jackson fan
Exact 😂
Percy Jackson's sword is different though, anakalusmos or Riptide, it was hercules' sword (or Heracles less common Greek name). Whereas "the Perseus " used the harpe ,( if I am right, coz it's confusing af)
Only reason I'm here
@@wxr2960 While the original Perseus did use a Harpe, it is a bit of a stretch to say that Riptide was Heracles’ weapon. If memory serves, It was a gift to Zoe from her mother that she allowed him to use, but was given up shortly after he escaped the garden. And the PJO fan base will eat up anything and everything Greek Mythology related.
For the strength test, we'll be using your blades to cut a marble counter top into the proper dimensions for installation. Let's see how they hold up.
i love these
*Blade Shatters* “Looks like we have a bit of a problem here”
bruh they do stuff that swords aren't meant to do of course its probably gonna break
From a guy who installs stone countertops, this is gold lol.
Blade chips, *surprised pikachu!
It's honestly a miracle Jay hasn't killed himself yet
That's why they have to wear safety equipment.
@@Supervillain725 You mean the glasses and gloves? Lol they are not really gonna help
@@meddlus2098 if you look carefully you can see he's wearing a vest.
Supervillain725 not on his neck
@@user-rh8qw1hi7h true. Would y'all rather they NOT do these tests?
aw his daughters were adorable, you could see how much he loves them
Absolutely
“I’ma do Damascus to make it unique” Literally everyone on the show
twisted damascus is the cheapest way to make damascus 😄
Blade: *cracks and splits in half completely destroying the sword* Jay: “I think we got a little problem here”
Well, granted, it IS smaller than when it started...
Is nobody gonna talk about him decapitating a STONE head like wtf that was impressive
Well the test was more about what the stone does to the sword and not the other way around. Both the guys' swords did nothing but scratch the Stone Head's surface. The only reason the 2nd one got broken is probably because of a problem on casting the stone, it was probably a lot weaker on the neck and the force from the strike was enough to break it.
@@munchieemonch2881 i remember one competion head to head in every way keel test sharpness only one Differenz.... At the strength Test one blade held up perfectly and the other one to but also breaks the object so He lost with the sentence "because you where outperformed at the strength test"
@@munchieemonch2881 aCtUaLlY
@@munchieemonch2881 Still very amazing! Yeah the kinetic force was who Smashed that stone head but the blade survived! Even if the steel is harder and stronger Than the stone but it’s totaly different when you compring a big stone with a think steel blade! Currently that sword in the past would be a legendary sword with many myths! 😅 also it would be one of the most strongest weapon in the battle field!
I know that the strength tests are supposed to be like the opposite of kill tests but I just love it when some weapons on the show are so sharp and powerful they can actually break the item used for the strength test

Your blade has suffered a catastrophic failure, and you know what that means

It’s easy to get into. If you have coals and a hairdryer you set on heat. Bang on a rock with a hammer and you could use some scrap steel

@@brendannelson6385 no
Yeah, but instead of baseballs he throws dollar bills and chicken salad.
oh I know why they couldnt show her fetching his balls now
kids love when u throw things dude kids are basically little animals anyways
When he shows that Medusa head while smiling, i was stoned.
The stone kraken's head breaking after the second sword just seals it.
00:37 Any dad would be proud of that throw.
for sure.
I did not pay attention but that was a really good throw, especially for a kid this age!
She throws better than me 👀
Yes sir
I was thinking the same thing! She’s just a tot for God sakes threw it at him like a big Little leaguer
Doug’s dummy test shows very well the dysfunctionality of bikini armor lol.
But...the bikini armor displays the cleavage of some big ol tiddies. I don't think decent protection is a good enough trade off for scantily clad tiddies.
Especially in the hot sun
it is to distract your enemies
Gotta protect the assets.
Anime would like to disagree with your sentiment.
Doug be like: It can cut It can also thrust. But most importantly it will KEEL
EUNE heihro well if it will keel, what else is there to worry about
He touch He feel More importantly Will it keal
But most importantly lt can also thrust. Doug be like it Will KEEL
@@guestperson9331 @Guest Person
Plot twist: Doug is trying to find a weapon dealer because he is an assassin
Keal. Seriously why can nobody spell this word correctly. Do an ounce of research about this show
The loveliest part was the cute little girls saying: it will keel 🥰😄
Eat whil keel
gotta say it louder
I know it was so adorable
Sooo cute😊
"what do you think of daddy's sword?" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sword: *literally breaks Jay: We've got a little bit of a problem
But it will kheel.
"what do y'all think about daddy's sword" FBI open up
HAHAHAHAHA
Dude I ,,, I just can't
bruh, just thought the same thang
Bro, Why hahahah
Girls: "it will kill" "it will keal" Daddy: "you got to say it louder" Girls: "IT WELL KEAALL!!"
That stress test is so dangerous. I’m surprised nobody has been catastrophically injured thus far.
I wish they would show more detailed close ups of the weapons when they are finished so we can see the craftsmanship.
Me and you both, I have to pause every time they uncover the weapon that they're going to be making.
They do in the full episode of the show, these are just highlights
Dudes first sword and he makes a perfect one nice
He's been bless by the GODS.
Host : The weapon we want you both to do next is ( pulls away cloth) Also Host : Zeus's lighting bolt.
Main reason i watch this show. The beauty in the craft And just to hear him say”it will keel”
I thought they will be forging their blades at the top of Mount Olympus with the Cyclops and Hephaestus...
Mount Etna*
Im Rassu
Would've made the episode a lot more interesting
@@zombiewarrior225 Я русский
Then the three elder cyclops judge and test the swords
Jarred, your Daughter has quite the throwing arm.
Thats what I was going to say lol
Right? That was the most impressive part of the episode
Right? I’m lucky if at 29yrs old I can throw a ball in one general direction 😂
I coach boys older than her and thought the same thing, I wanted to see her catch.
No doubt! Makes me want to get out back with my kids and throw a baseball. That was impressive.
So these guys are remaking a Bronze sword out of steel. I just wanted to say that.
Right!
BUT- we're in the greatest age of them all, the damascene age (of youtube).... where every home putter with a log splitter hammer can stack and tack a billet to show you how they must be descended from the old master smiths! Historicity smishtoricity, said every tv producer ever, especially on the history channel
"Aint gonna lie; I'd love to see a challenge where they have to cast and hammer harden bronze.
You got a valid point there Edward!
You deserve a pat on the back for real
How the lighter sword survives the strength test is really appreciable 🔥
i love how laid back and casual jared was. said he’d never made a sword but nailed it anyway
Those rubber snakes really looks genuine. I thought they were really moving after he decapitates it.
I see you on everyone of these videos, so congratulations on your good taste, my sword-fellow
Chi chan I thought the same, even that they used some animation program, but the snakes are too jiggly xd
But what he forgets is perseus couldnt look directly at medusa and had to use the reflection off his shield therefore doing it slightly backwards
ChambersofSiege i was just waiting for someone like you🤣
Pardon me --- are you a dude or a gal?
Every competitor in this competition are so positive towards each other. It's not toxic like all the other shows. Much respect to all those in this types of craft.
Doug goes on murder spree Cop: There's only one guy I know who can KEEELL like this
3:05 "I wanted to basically make things harder on myself" and that is the story of my life in one sentence
Anyone else than me that thinks the stone-test was stupid? I know they wanna see the damage done to the sword but.. why not plate armor or something?
Me too, I say this every day because it's the reason I got Cialis for my ED.

Little girl: It will keeel! Doug: Wait a minute Boom
Not keeel Dough: It will KEAL ( Keep everyone Alive) Google it its free Booommmm
I love how this guy smiles when he says "it will keeL"... every time lol.
You'd think the strength test dude would wear some protection. He got so lucky that it only hit his cut proof gloves.
dude, nearly lost a hand, I held my breath at that slomo. the guys little girls saying "it will keel" was heartwarming.
I can't stand Jamie's strength tests. I'm no smith, nor am I a blade master, but I can tell he has horrible form, puts WAY too much weight into his strikes, and performs tasks that the blades can imaginable way be realistically used. I hate seeing him desecrate the weapons contestants make.
@@heroicaknight4735 Oh well, swords where used to hit dudes behind armors and shields, if you sword easily breaks by 4 hard hits, then you are death.
@@LordangeloxD yes, I agree that the sword's durability is key, but sometimes Jay uses the swords in ways they're not supposed to be used, which of COURSE means they're probably going to break. Also, MOST times, whenever Jay hurts himself on a test, they blame the smith for making an ineffective weapon, when, no, Jay just sucks at swinging swords.
Legends say that Doug hasn’t had that much fun during a kill test in his whole life
Wil Willis is amazingly friendly, imagine being told “I’m gonna ask you to please leave the forge” by him, must be heart shattering.
You can see the fear in the judge his eyes after the sword broke, could've ended waaaaay worse...
yep, we can see how dangerous these tests could be if they weren't of good quality.
These fools should wear protective equipment, it's that simple
I had a bad feeling about that sword when I see the heat treat wasn't perfect
MrRedeyedJedi not that simple he needs a whole body suit covering everything cuz it’s possible if a piece of blade to randomly fly off after a strike hitting the face or neck
@@SleepingIsASport well it's simple enough for them if you could point out the solution. Body suits ain't that rare
Jarred when entering the competition : 😐 Jarred After winning the competition : 😐
when the blade broke i felt something shatter in my soul as an amateur smith
Girls: guys only want one thing! That one thing: it will keeeeelll
Doug's smile is iconic.
It keels me everytime. You can easily tell he loves his job.
Creeps me out a bit to be honest!

"im gonna do Damascus. Something unique and different." It's not

Jay keeping it together after almost getting shanked by the errant broken 4lb blade was very professional. See him shaking like a leaf in the wind and still goes ham on the second blade.

no
@@jafethbarmentloo255 well, the other one broke it just fine :)
@@jafethbarmentloo255 Some one trying to push the blades and test just how much the blade can take. As you can see from the video, one blade took it and was ready for more while the other one broke and failed.

Yeah' when he was quenching his sword in that oil, and did not submerged all the way down to the tang .I thought his too was going to break.

That's just a xiphos or gladius. Isn't it commonly accepted that Perseus held a harpē-a sickle combined with a sword? That would have been interesting to see. It would have also been fun to see what inspiration they could've taken from its adamantine description.
I love this show. It's definatly something I've never seen before

His strength tests are such bs “To test the strength of your weapon I’m going to blow it up with a nuke”
Yep, he's s
Well one held up so.
Actually these strength tests are pretty reasonable. A few good whacks against a hard material to make sure that the blade won't snap, the tang is good, etc. You don't want a weapon with a flimsy edge, brittle blade or tang, etc. in actual warfare.
@@Foxxie0kun I agree and a lot of them hold up with these brutal tests so I don't see anything wrong with it.
Well swords go through alot through time of use , ofc you won't use the sword on thick barrels but if it can hold its own or almost in that test then it will be reliable to be durable in real battles
