My Brother: "Why are you so addicted to Forged in fire? Since when did you had an interest in forging weapons"? Me: " I'm watching because, IT WILL KILL"
I have a ww2 raf fireman’s Hatchet, it is an absolute beast, it looks as if it was made only a few years ago and it has a revolutionary design with a special rubber handle that means you can chop through power lines up to 20k volts, and in the hand it just goes clean through anything you put in it’s way, my dad got locked in a room in our house once because the lock broke and wouldn’t open again, he had to chop his way out and it chopped through nails and the metal of the door handle with ease although it took a small bit of damage from chopping through brass 😁. If you can get your hands on one I’d recommend it, they’re hard to find but really cool, the axe is called a chillington arpax
A friction fit head taper is how tomahawks are properly made. If it slides down, then you must bang the handle top into the floor to reseat it. I use tree's. With excessive blade flare it cannot be banged into flat surfaces for reseating as the blade's upper point with stab into the floor and or be damaged. A movable head allows Mineral Oiling of the handle under the head, for longevity. Installing pins, or set screws just causes breakage and failures everytime. In order to keep the head seated and movable, a Constrictor Knot must be hitched onto the Hickory handle using Marlingspikes, far enough down to move the head enough to oil under it. To secure the head from sliding down, a heavy leather compression collar must be laced on tight between the Constrictor Knot and the tomahawk head. Constrictor knots serve as powerful grip stations as well, wet or dry. They can also serve as the anchor of a lanyard if desired.
It's a real shame cus there supposed to slide of traditionally. So that you can use the head as a hand tool. And also re half it easy in the feild qhen it breaks from throwing. They just had to to tap it on its end after the throw to tighten it back up before the next test
@@duncansq47 yes precisely, a couple of taps on the anvil would have put that back right and tight, you want it so that if you hit the butt of the handle on a hard surface the head slips loose so that you can quickly and easily pack it down. There's no way the heads coming off the top end like you'd risk with a wedge fit unless the whole handle breaks but if that happens you just use the head to knock out a new handle from the closest branch in literally no more than five minutes and you're away
Yup speaking from experience even if you get the head fitted up tight at first. The wood will wear a little bit over time and then become loss. Also if the eye isn’t forged properly with a nice taper it can cause problems too. Must be why you see them with raw hide or cordage wrapped around the head to keep everything it place. If this guy did something like that it might have saved him. But Then they probably would have complained about it for some reason.
I love Forged in Fire because of the fairplay and the lack of drama from contestants and jury...although the format is similar to a ton of other programs, it beats them by being pratical and fair with no nonsense like masterchef and other idiotic shows
I liked this release. Because they gave the history of the weapon. And explained the mechanical/engineering basics into the design. And did the tests in the awesomest order
If you turn the hawk upside down and hit the handle on the ground it will tighten up, not a problem. Of course in most cases just using it will tighten the handle up.
Have to disagree with the judges choice on this one. This bowie's were comparable but the losing tomahawk should have won. A traditional tomahawk is also a Bushcraft tool. The head is made to come loose from the handle to be used by itself. If it's loose you just tap it back on. The winning tomahawk was too light to do a good job splitting wood and the handle was crooked offsetting the head.
It's funny, I have a hammer from when I was a carpenter and it's just a friction fit. I just drove a few small nails into the top to tighten it up lol that's what I would have done if I were in that smith's shoes knowing how easily friction fits come loose early on. It usually takes a little use, they come loose, you tighten it up some how and then they usually won't come loose again for a long time. But you almost need something to drive some extra space out in the wood because there always seems to be some shrink or wear that makes the initial fit almost never hold.
These are historically friction fitted so you can easily remove the head to use it as other tools or easily replace a broken handle. I wouldn't have docked points either for the slip. All that was needed to quickly fix it was turn the hawk upside down and pound the handle into a stump really hard to reset the head where it wouldn't budge. It looks like his handle had a bit of a shelf going on at the end which is a bad idea for friction fitting. Needs to be a smooth flare outward towards the top where the eye of the head will lock into the wood without coming loose.
"compression fit shouldn't become loose when using the weapon" I just wanna say that for the abuse it went through... A little slide off is just operator error. Its what we call a "friction fit".. You need to swing powerfully in order to keep the blade wedged away from your hand...
It's really not an authentic tomahawk unless it's made out of a rail road spike. My grandfather told me that when the RR moved west, the native Americans would pill out the spikes and use them for arrow heads, tomahawks and knifes. If making a set I would really like to see what can be made from 2 spikes. I would think an ax, knife, and several arrow head should be doable.
You don't want to use railroad spikes for competition blades. Back then that's really all they had available but rail road spikes aren't made of good quality metal. Just basic iron
One hit with the end of the wooden pole on the ground and the head is tight again. But.. I do think the friction fit of that particular one shoud be adjusted a little better by sanding the wood till the fit is tighter. This chop shouldn't let the head go loose so easliy.
@@Ve-suvius I agree. It could have been tightened easily and the fit could have been better. The head started coming loose in the first test. In a 10k competition that should not happen.
That building was his granddaddy's. He used it to keep his hogs in back in the day. The floor is slanted so the pig poo would drain better. Brian is the truth when it comes to forging.
North Native America in US and Canada used rail road spike iron and shape into axe like, they dont used iron. in Mesoamerica only Inca used metal weapon made from Bronze and Copper. for King and noble used Gold spear or weapon. Inca and Peru-Bolivina civization also used body armor, helmet and shoe. they lack only iron, horse and wheel. that it
Is this a complete video of that particular episode? did I miss something? The cherry on top of the Bowie knife is the "backcut" and I did not see this gentleman doing any "backcut" with those Bowies.
I made a knife with Brian it wasn't anything special like it would cut threw a door but it was a new and fun experience if anyone has time to take one of his forging lessons I would do it.
4:01. That wasn’t a good hit . He came in on the skull, at a bad angle. The tomahawk more like slapped the face with the side of the blade. Then chopped it cause if the way the judge was wielding it.

How you make this realistics dolls?
Thanks :)
@@DCarGuy-yf7op We can buy it.
@@divyanidhi7123 Where?
Can we just all appreciate how Doug has made a complete change of being embarrassed by "keel" but now fully embraces it
Its actually "keal" its an acronym for keep everyone alive.
It's due to the fact that kids like the show, and Doug knows it's a family show.
@@derrickcarpenter8297 you can't believe everything you hear.
@@harveymanalyn1897 ryan is right. It used to be "kill" but with doug finding out that children watch the show, he came up with "keal"
@@derrickcarpenter8297 but how do you know that this is true ( even if it does make sense)
4 ballistic dummies in this test? It must had been a blast for Doug.
He was so fkn hype
After the 8 hour challenge, I can't take Dave Baker lightly anymore. He's legit.
Does it calmly while whistling to himself while his opponents can barely finish
@@zeeafraud7898 and while still keeping his charisma and style all the time up with him, that guy is simply amazing
yeah, me too, but the kill test was a very large waste of some tomahawk throwing action
@Doggo everybody wanted a tomahawk yeet session
Opponents just wondering how he can stay positive even if he has a failure.
My Brother: "Why are you so addicted to Forged in fire? Since when did you had an interest in forging weapons"?
Me: " I'm watching because, IT WILL KILL"
"It will keel"- MARCAIDA, Doug
Keel*
@@emptyavatar KEAL.. It's an acronym Doug uses
@@catalystdaemon3363 Wouldn't it be KEA if it was an acronym though?
@@ririsuusada8052 no it's KEAL.. He explains why he says it in one of the episodes
Small axes are deceptively light weapons. You'd think they won't do much, and then suddenly a guy's face splits open.
If it's heavy it's a hatchet for wood cutting not a tomahawk for combat.
Or lose control of it while doing tricks with it and there go your fingers lol

I like how you can tell they are axes by the way they look
came here for some "it will keeeel" and ended up hearing him going to honeymoon after 10 years with the prize, im double happy.
7:35 Anakin Skywalker approves.
Man I love this series. I just wish History would upload full episodes here since I don’t have cable anymore.
There alot of full episodes on CZcams
@@jasontimmons2642 Where? I’ve looked for full episodes of forged in fire and haven’t found any
U can find them on some websites, just be careful about malwares tho
Hulu got a couple seasons
Netflix has them now
My two favorite weapons what a beautiful combo
Mel Gibson love this during his wilderness campaign
I feel,
this steel,
will keel,
for real.

that man throws like he has been doing it from the womb
That's how he got out of the womb🤔🤣
Pity that friction fit didn’t hold up because that was a beautiful set.

@@jasmineirwin7166 That's what I was thinking. I would have added a deerskin binding for a Native American aesthetic.
I'm sitting here eating shrimp and watching Forged in Fire. Life doesn't get much better than this!
Yes it does it can get much better than that
@@jasontimmons2642 well, I'm happy just doing that 😂
@@watchdealer11 lucky devil I ain't got no shrimp. got me a beer though
Everyone gangsta till you get slapped silly by a tomhawk
I never miss any episode cause I like Doug "Keeel".. 😁😁
U alive

That kill test was the best i have ever seen
Bilkul bhai 😍😍
The crusader sword is on par, the sharpest weapon ever on the show. “Wicked scary” according to Doug and his brother.
@@yurtttttt96 yes that damage was devastating the cut to the shoulders went halfway through the ribcage

I loved the tomahawk with the head that was curved to also hook and control with the axe head. Nicely designed weapon!
It's always amazing how much history we have with one or two handed axes.
That tomahawk really said " I like ya cut g"

Awesome! I really hope to see more weapon combos like this in the future.
Not sure if I’d trust a friction fit with how brutal these judges can be with testing.
Tough decision to make, but his friction fit is how it was done historically. I wouldn't have docked him points for it.

Tomahawks are just ingenious weapons, they're small and light like a knife, but cuts deep and can actually chop off your limbs
Hawk n Bowie: an ideal edged weapon pair
"What's up doc" Classic

Your grandfather told you so it must be true. Smh
@@JedmcCj-uq5dw stop hating
@@bigtrolldontfallforit393 I'm not hating I'm just showing how foolish his statement is.
It's kinda crazy how realistic the ballistic dummy are...
My favorite dual weapon combo!
Can we give our Keel Man two targets more often? He went HAM!
My daily dose of “ it will keel”
I just realized, Doug looked like Andy Serkis!
"Overall sir, your precious...it will keel."
Asian version of Andy Serkis
My man!!!! The Doc!!!!!
Oh boy! Here I go killin' again!
I love that he says it will kill
Crushing two bullistics dummy is worth watchin🔥🔥🇮🇳
3:52 bruh that noise made me laugh, idk why 🤣
Love this Program!!! They are great Blacksmith🔨🔨🔨
Guys Cmon, it has to be Damascus if you want to win
I couldn't believe that old boy stuck the bowie first go with full spin 🤩
When you finish Desperados 3 a week earlier and always wondered, how throwable a Bowie is...well, thanks Dave.
Boo E? I smell a city slicker
Ancient tomahawks where not made of steel, but made of sharped stones !
One of my favourite show ! ❤️
There's something about Doug slicing the neck of the dummy and hearing nothing that is so eerie.
That's how tomahawk heads work you can take them right off! He should have wrapped under it with rawhide or something
Wow!... Both Guys did a Great Job. Thanks for Sharing
Doc dont need to Leave! He finished! Evaluate on the Testing.. not what came after.
It must be a rare thing that a weapon falls apart in the sharpness test.
That usually happens between the kill test and the strength test
Well it didn't fall apart, it's a tomohawk, that's pretty normal
One hit with the end of the wooden pole on the ground and the head is tight again.
But.. I do think the friction fit of that particular one shoud be adjusted a little better by sanding the wood till the fit is tighter.
This chop shouldn't let the head go loose so easliy.
@@Ve-suvius I agree. It could have been tightened easily and the fit could have been better. The head started coming loose in the first test. In a 10k competition that should not happen.
I feel this is the ultimate close quarter combat weapon combination other than a cutlass, or machete.
(technically) this is the only show/situation *in general* where you can be (at least legally) excited that your forged weapon will be able to kill
I knew Brian won it by looking at that building he was working under. Took alot of work to build it
That building was his granddaddy's. He used it to keep his hogs in back in the day. The floor is slanted so the pig poo would drain better. Brian is the truth when it comes to forging.
Doug has the coolest job in the world.
Glad Brian won. Just a great, simple set but it's very well done.
Can't argue with that, even a weapon failing at the end is still a weapon failing.
My favorite 2 weapons and my favorite episode
I love it when they kealll
Whoever added the wood breaking sound at 6:00 needs to be checked
agree
Brian is my home boy 😎 way to go Brother 👍
Kill is a short moment. Keel is a long moment.
Doug could be a Very Good Hitman or Assassin. 😁😁
Nah, he doesn't move in a comfortable way with these weapons at all.
Who else was dissapointed with dougs dummy performance? He's so talented why did he slice so slow?
Its channeling during a strike and safety coz its loosened
How did they not know about the tomahawk in a bucket of water overnight to snug up the fitment trick?
The iconic weapon the Tamahawk and Bowie from the movie of Mel Gibson"The Patriot"
North Native America in US and Canada used rail road spike iron and shape into axe like, they dont used iron. in Mesoamerica only Inca used metal weapon made from Bronze and Copper. for King and noble used Gold spear or weapon. Inca and Peru-Bolivina civization also used body armor, helmet and shoe. they lack only iron, horse and wheel. that it
Brian I feel had the lead until the head slide down... sucks but it happens.
Good try, Steve!! Long way from working on the ambulance 24hrs at a time!
Am I the only one who ignores all their hard work and concentrate on Brian’s accent😅
FORGED IN FIRE IS THE BEAT SHOW EVER!!🔥🔥🔥💪💪😈
Now that's Carnage!! Keep it up!
Take me to put a small wrap at the bottom of the head of the tomahawk and it wouldn't slide over it
Docs Bowie looked awesome
Can someone please just turn the lights up a little?
I LoveIt Bowie knives at my favorite!!!
Love this show ! Your tomahawk & bowie will keeeeeel !!!!!!
If that’s how he pronounces Bowie as in Bowie knife, I’d love to hear him pronounce David Bowie or Buoy
Is this a complete video of that particular episode? did I miss something? The cherry on top of the Bowie knife is the "backcut" and I did not see this gentleman doing any "backcut" with those Bowies.
Every single time they said Bowie like buoy it hurt
I am no blade Smith but I would have made a x pattern with leather around the head of my tomahawk to hold the head in place
TOMAHAWK!!!
Use a shovel handle for your hawk.
So wait is it bowie or booey cause they keep changing the word lol
Best part of episode: It will keel.
Make south Indian iconic weapon ARUVA
thx for the show "it will kill...!
Came here for "it weel keel" but heard " I...love the feel of your booty" 4:19 (dw, I know he says bowie)

Over all sir it’s will keeeelllll...
A lot of people think keel means kill. Nope. Keel stands for keep everyone alive.
