Forged in Fire: The Chinese War Sword ONE SHOT KILL TEST (Season 7) | History 

10 minutes just short.. I like full video of Forged in Fire

Idea: poorer contestants should be allowed to use the judges forges in the final round

Keeeeeeeeel

Keeeeeeel

This isn't a Chinese warsword. Those had big rings for a handle not a hilt.

The Gypsy King Will： u gotta buy me a new one

The Gypsy King : meet me outside Jay

Why do people always repeat things said in videos

@@-Erebus Because it is funny and silly :3

Erebus Khan that wasn’t said

With his hammers breaking on him as well.

Strength test guy: "you guys remember me?" - Conor McGregor hidden somewhere in the building: "WHO THE FOOK IS THAT GUY!?"

No high tech modern equipment either .

Why is it so hard to forge from spring steel? Most swords use 5160

Kinda funny that the blade broke in the middle, not where the crack was.

How was he "met with 'more' challenges'?

It's about who makes the best sword, not about who faces the most challenges

Stefan Kok well his hammers kept breaking and some other small things, he clearly did more than his competitor which makes him more of an underdog

@@ThirdEyeOdyssey72 done man

@Noyce Gaming Stock removal is a perfectly valid way to make a knife, and even a sword. Albion makes them this way, Jay Fisher, John Lewis Jensen, and I think even Bob Loveless made them that way. They are regarded as some of the best in the industry. There's many ways to do it, and one way is not necessarily better than the other.

@Noyce Gaming because it is

@Noyce Gaming Both ways have their merits, and I wouldn't regard either as better or worse than the other. Also, the general meaning of forging is the shaping of metal.

@Noyce Gaming I take it you drew all these conclusion from this short, edited clip. If you actually saw the episode, you'd see Bobby actually forging it out. But actually checking that takes more effort than slagging someone off unnecessarily like an asshat.

@@Patrick2345454 Agree, but with the time constraints one with the modern equipment has an edge.

@@cheyennelayton he could win it now with the right equipment

your buddy is an actual smith, not just a cheater who cut the blade form out of sheet steel. and the fact that he still managed to put up that good if an efford shows that he had a lot of potential. i showed this video to an ex-swiss champion of smithing and even he was impressed with what he managed to do in a shed. he said in swiss german that "this boy would have easily won when he had worked in his (the ex-swiss champions) forge"

Still made Hodgenville proud!

I don't understand how that was even acceptable for the finale. Will was the only one who actually "forged" something. I'm calling b.s on the other guy's blade but your buddy did an amazing job.

That just shows that we here in Kentucky aren’t going soft when we make our blades we go doing it the old fashioned way! Go job Will!

Roland Lee Because it was. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a skill to it, but the kid that took a piece of blank steel and hammered it into shape fits more with the spirit of the show.

Did you watch the full episode? Cause I did. And the old guy forged. He drew it out with a press then finished by hand with a hammer. Just cause its has clean lines doesn’t mean a laser did it.

It's because he did he o ly heat2d the blade to temper it he didn't forge it at all which is a good way to make a blade but doesn't firt the title of the show and the spirit at all

@@karvast5726 I'm on your side but read your comment before you reply.

If it doesn't work who cares how you made it! It is still a failer.

"I think I know who won." yeah, the guy whose sword didn't snap in 1/2.

Well if it works it works. At the end of the day he won. Will cpuld have did the same thing but didnt.

Supervillain725 Sometimes blades just break it's really not anyone's fault, small cracks and such happen especially after only four days of work

@@midnightfun1277 well he couldnt do the same cause he didnt have the same tools

So respect the old dude. This bit isn't the full section, they literally cut the old dude forging his sword out of this section.

@@Servellion yeah because his "forging" was just cutting the shape out of a piece of steel.

@@agentbarron3945 people said that in the full episode they show him forging it

@@jakeadams767 he got it hot and beat on it. But he didn't do the hard work of shaping it which alone takes a full days work.

if its at least heat treated they might let it pass but they have kicked people for just grinding the blade

@@Maveryik Christ I assumed that was the very least they did. I am amazed anyone would not harden the steel.

@TheSkyWhale Hey Big Man, I know that. But cutting out steel is not forging, which is why I questioned the title. It would need to be hardened in a forge at least. Cutting out a shape and then sharpening the edge is not forging in fire. Cutting with water would be a more appropriate title in some cases.

This question literally answered the question in my mind about this series for a long time now. Almost every blade in this series has been thin for something that you would expect to be used and abused. You would think some of them would make thicker and properly forged blades for the purpose. It reminds me of how the older Japanese swords made during the era when they were still often used to kill are apparently historically thicker than modern forged practice swords with an actual cutting edge. Perhaps they are now too overconfident in the better quality of steel they can use nowadays?

Forging means to heat metal and beat it into shape with a hammer. That's what they're doing.

Yeah it was already made they usually show them making it but with bobby nah already made. Questionable tbf

I feel sorry for the other kid, making his blade in a crappy little shed with breaking tools. I think it’s be more fair if they made them forge their blades in identical forges cuz some ppl can have more expensive tools at their home forges giving them an advantage

@@stephenonen5989 Well some people can have inner focus and Being one with their forge it just makes it more satisfying to make weapon with your own forge but i still agree with you.

He probably just cut it out

Remember, it's day 2, so he could have forged it on the first day

IT WILL KEEEEL

It weal keal

It's KEEL

it will NOT keel

@@ThirdEyeOdyssey72 *Subscribed!* Well done with what you were able to achieve.

True! He even had steal cut from a professionally fabricated sheet of steel! He did t have to do anything other than cut his blade shape and heat treat it! I also hate hate hate! The strength test! Those weapons should never be used to chop ice, it's blasphemy! Test their strength on animal bones, shields and armour, that would be a far more realistic test not to mention proper use! This shoe is basically circus act!

@@10810gabriel thats what a strength test is for in the first place why you complaining

@@rickool07 a weapon like this is not made to chop ice. you can just as well try to cut stone, it makes just as much sense.

Guys with homemade coal stoves have made better weapons. It’s not about the tools, it’s about how you use them. Even with what he had the kid should’ve been able to make a sword that didn’t snap it half.

@@dearthofdoohickeys4703 better equipment is allways a plus. especially when heat treating the blade, a big furnace can heat it equally everywhere. i guess this is why his blade snapped, he couldnt heat treat it properly with his equipment.

Love the fact that the grandpa cuts his blade out, puts an edge and handle on it and wins 10k while the kid tries his best with normal forging, fixes the crack, still meets parameters and all he gets is "good effort".

@@vld7759 another forgery of a forge

At the end of the day it comes down to which blade performed the best

@@vld7759 its about performance and not good intentions. Also this younger guy wasn't heating his blade enough so no surprise it snapped.

I just dont get why they dont ban cutting out blades, old dude wasnt the first to do it and win. And if someone has a problem how thats the way modern smiths do it then make it fair and force both contestants to use either classic or modern way.

Your blade, sir, will *K E E L*

Ye he’s weird I prefer the other dudes Like the the mustache dude or the “heck of a chopper” dude

Hes a serial killer

Strength Test Guy: "Today we are going to take your Danito and running them against this lumber mill saw blade. Remember it is not what your Danito does to the saw blade but it what the saw blades does to your Danito. Gagged Danito: Hmm hhemm mmmhhmm hmmmm Strength Test Guy Turns on the saw blade and conveyer belt slowly moving Danito towards the blade. Strength Test Guy: Oh this will be fun.

Reminds me of this wanker i used to work with,a manager to be precise,nice to your face but a dog is always a dog

If you look him up, he's actually an incredibly good blacksmith (a Mastersmith with the American Blacksmith Society, apparently like only 100 people have that rank). I think he would be just as brutal with his own blades, and they'd hold up perfectly. He has a high standard and wants the contestants' blades to be that good.

@Dean McAndrew, you're very welcome Dean, any time! I still operate a forge from time to time, (coal), which by the way, is superior to propane in a number of ways, if you know how to use it properly, and not those dinky coal forges I've seen on the show. I built forged sculptures, and gates weighing over a ton, all with a coal forge and a large power-hammer, the one on the show is a toy by comparison. Here's a good example of what I was talking about earlier...In the 70s I would recondition jackhammer bits, sometimes up to 80 in a day, My rate of failure was typically 3 in 80. Another shop in the area was doing similar and was experiencing many failures. They ask me for an opinion and it was clear that after forging they were going straight to a quench to save time and they were breaking at the point in the bar, just above where the forging took place, resulting in natural stress point. The same holds true for forging any high carbon products, we also made a lot of stone tools. As well, you have to know the carbon content, and basic makeup of high carbons in order to know the heat tolerance. E.g, O1, popular tool steel will not tolerate forging above a bright red heat, and in the case of a knife should be evenly forged, not beat to death! Hamming below a certain heat will also result in a failure. Most high carbon steels are subject to this, so one must be careful and know your steels. 5160 ( spring steel) is a very forgiving mid-range steel that you can go a little higher, but better be careful with the higher end stuff like O1, Wi, W2, and others. O1 is oil-hardened steel, The (W series) is high-end water hardened steel, that in most cases is better hardened in Oil unless you really know what you're doing. Water steels can be hardened in Oil , while Oil steels can only be hardened in Oil. Cheers:)

It's a game show where contestants compete for a prize, not a documentary. But I suspect there are lots of emergency rooms that have seen people with burns, cuts, and smashed fingers using what they "learned" on this show.

@@proliance No argument there, however, when dealing with things that can injure you or someone else, it's best to be as accurate and as responsible as possible.

@@proliance, No argument, its a game show. However, when you're dealing with things that can hurt you or someone close by, I don't think it's a stretch to employ as much accuracy and responsibility as possible under the conditions. I've seen what it looks like when someone did it wrong and ended up with one eye at the end of the day. I get your point, but the issues run deeper, I'm afraid.

I can appreciate that. I have yet to find a RU-vid channel that really goes into the chemistry and physics of forging in any detail. I don't think people are coming here to really learn about the craft though. They are in love with the finished product, more than the painstaking process of producing it right. You have to know your stuff, and invest in the right stock steels to produce anything decent in 4 days. For example, it's only having to investigate using steel wire in jewellery that I discovered the vast range and different characteristics of the steels made. So I salute your lifetime of knowledge and skills you acquired throughout your career. Thank you for your insight.

Well, as opposed to a power hammer or hydraulic press. That’s still forging. Now cutting a form out of a piece of steel, that’s not forging

Well, it was because of the previous sword's handle.

WinterSplinterM.II the winner essentially sells a 4-day blade for 10,000. Not to mention a ton of publicity. Not a bad deal.

@@dearthofdoohickeys4703 Thats not the point.

Sometimes it maybe Used for wrong things and Illigal Activities so they keep them with themselves It maybe some rules put my govt before they allowed for this Show

@@immanuelpathare6284 Making swords would be illegal all together in that case, and they own plenty of swords already so i dont think so.

​@@immanuelpathare6284 this is the US though where you can own a sword. Of-course whether your not you can wear the sword into public matters the states. For example in California you can wear a sword in public but it must be sheathed. In Texas though any blade over 5.5 inches is illegal to wear UNLESS it for historical demonstrations or ceremonies. Otherwise though the cane-sword is always considered a misdemeanor.

No, he cut it out of sheet.

yes he did, they didnt show him during day one which is when we did it

Why didn't they show it if he did the best job ? Strange right ?

@@0tb16 It wasn't as dramatic as the boy using duff hammers. The old man had top notch modem equipment, and that can be boring as with that there's little drama.

Not really. You enter the competition knowing the rules and what equipment you have. The boy was so poorly prepared his hammers broke. A friend of his in in the comments and his shop is set up to deal with small blades. Accordingly, he entered the competition poorly equipped for a show that largely forges big blades that look good on TV.
