Hey History, why don't you post any full episodes of paranormal and supernatural stuff, I mean the videos that you post are cool and all, but if you could, please post some full episodes of paranormal and supernatural stuff. Thank you, and have a great day. :-)

@@basswolves3149 huh? ... What? ...
I’m still not a bladesmith but if I do this as a hobby when I’m off tour from my music career and get an opportunity to compete on Forged In Fire and win $10,000 is it okay if I split the check evenly with my other 3 opponents so we all get $1250?
Jessy should be the winner
I don’t know why but the way he says “It will kill” is so satisfying.
Welcome the keel fandom.
Actually he says 'it will keel
You sound like a seriel killer
Verge serial keeler
Am i the only one that hates it ?
I feel like this video showcases just how skilled Doug is more than other videos. The technique and accuracy with which he swins these axe's is very impressive
his edgeslognment is off with a couple blows when hes using swords, but in some cases thats the weapons fault eg pommel beeing round etc.
i feel like the kill test doesn't prove anything, it's just there so Doug can have some fun
Catastrophic failure may occur during keel test too. Not just for "fun"
Yes, Doug just wants to have some fun.
andy kimin it’s definitely for entertainment purposes
andy kimin anything decently sharp can cut right through a pig carcass
Lycan Steel that’s actually not true
THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS SHOW IS, THE COMPETITORS ARE HONEST AND NOT JEALOUS OF THEIR OPPONENT'S ACHIEVEMENTS.
Imagine having this in your car, then getting pulled over on your way back to the show's forge and having to explain to an officer why you have a 2 meter axe/fish hook hybrid laying in your back seat
Covered in pig blood😂😂😂
Medieval weaponry isn't covered by the second amendment? It's more acceptable to have a semi-automatic rifle than an axe?
Judges: This axe is kinda heavy...
Everyone: Oh no sweetie-
2:03 "there's a crack in my hook"...
Could be a lot worst a hook in your crack!!!!
Lol
Colin Cleveland um okay then....
That made me laugh more than was appropriate......I'm not ashamed to admit it.
In this Episode you really see that this is Doug's dream job lmao he has so much fun slicing stuff with new weapons every episode. He always has this big Smile when about to do the keel test and the sharpness test
Doug: *Mutilates pig corpse
Everyone: *smiles and laughs
@@adritadas8542 the pigs are donated to animal shelters for dogs and cats to eat :/
@@adritadas8542 are lions immoral murderes? Or wolves, bears, bobcats etc? If so i guess its human nature/animal nature somewhat.
In the History channel cafeteria - ham for lunch. With BLT sandwiches and pork chops.
To be fair boar are an invasive species that aren’t native to America and destroy the ecosystem. They are considered vermin in Texas. Just big rats
@@veltongrath3429 What Doug was cutting up was a farm raised pig. They have used wild boar carcasses in other kill tests. The boars are hair covered and have a tougher hide.
Forging definitely taken its toll on my dude. His posture has taken a beating
It can be fixed
He needs his own "It will keeeel" ringtone. I swear I'd buy it
People Still buy ringtones?
I LOVE the no bs editing. I wish everyone on youtube would take a lesson from this.
They both crushed it, should've gave them both winnings that was sick!
Imagine a world where pigs do a show like this with human corpses
89 Simba it’s called Mexico
Interdimensional cable
Hahahaha awesome
You do know that the military, law enforcement agencies, medical researchers, vehicle safety organisations etc do use human corpses for weapons testing, crash testing, forensics research etc?
Those are some of the places your body can end up when you donate it to science.
@@forestdenizen6497 sounds a bit crazy but not too crazy. Do you have any sources? I'm interested
honestly want to see this go global. there's a lot of amazing smiths around the globe. would love some good japanese smithing in this show too.
There is a Latin American version of the show now, no idea if they gonna do an Asian one.
Doug hit the floor and he covered it with a dance 😂it will keel
its always good to see these "final battles" boil down to two people that clearly could've won
This man always looks so happy when he’s about to do the kill test
And most importantly "it will keel"
They should make a contest between all the champions, to see which one is the TRUE champion
IIRC they did that a little while back for $100,000.
Finally no catastrophic failures. A full test good job blade-smiths.
who else here for the "it will keel"
Me
So funny
❤️👍✝️

“Alright, looks like you took a couple of damage, a little bit in the tip, your edge is all dent,but it’s still sharp”
“Hand over the axe that you made with your own materials”
Yeah about that... no. I’m keeping it.
What about the 10000 dollar prize money ? Do you think that axe is worth 10000 dollars?
They probrably get paid even if they come second. Shoud cover the cost of the blade.
They get them back after the episode airs. It’s kind of a non disclosure preparation, so you can’t use it to reveal any secrets.
@@insertcreativeusernamehere4954 They've been told before to make weapons worth at least 10k. That weapon is probably worth about 1/10th of that though, on the other hand, it's a winning weapon and it's been tested by Doug, which has to raise its value a few thousand, LoL.
I learned all these historic weapons names from playing Diablo 2
Same
I learnt from Diablo 1
I learned from being a reincarnated viking warrior.
"forging everything from hand has its advantages" *casually anglegrinds the shape of the axe*
Your blade shows signs of roll and chip at points of contact, everywhere else it's still sharp. Mmhhmm. Still love this show.
This show is filmed in my old neighborhood on a street that doesn't have any residential houses but just factories.
Street Corner Memories addy?
Man, Dave looks like he loves his job. I love it.
Josh looked like a gnome at the end when he was holding the blade. 😂😂
Saying *"it will kill"* is more of his catch phrase at this point lmao.
In reality You could kill someone with a plastic spoon tbh.
Keeeeel
Especially if he doesnt have arms or legs and just stares at you with his stupid see through insides taunting you to rip them apart....
If you used it to feed them a lot then yeah..
Spoon Fixer or shove it down their throat
With a stamped out metal spoon, you can certainly stab someone with its handle...
Plastic ones can only be used to choke someone. LOL.
Dave: swings at shield
Also Dave: YeAh We GoT sOmE mInOr DeNtS hErE
Let us admire Doug for being able to properly and masterfully wield the weapons throughout the series
As a Scottish guy hearing "Lockabar" repeatedly is very upsetting
I too have been upset by the poor pronounciations
If you were going to spell it phonetically how would it sound?
@@HDmexsComboCon idk how to spell it phonetically it's kind of hard to describe, much easier to just hear. Look up scottish pronunciation on CZcams maybe
Lockabie was not actually Gadaffi.

“And most importantly it will kill “ 😆😆😆 sounds like a sick serial killer lol 😝
*keel
@@Hans._A._Pils i was about to say this but then i show replies and here you are lol
I love you Doug, we all do.
Is it me or is the kill test the best
It took me a minute to come around but in the end I like Josh, he seems pretty okay.
Sharpness test should have been made before the stength test, otherwise it's just a "let's see how sharp it stayed" test, which is useless without a before check.
But that the point. To test edge retention
The kill test requires them to be sharp beforehand. Therefore if it passes the kill test it was sharp enough to kill, which is all that matters for a weapon “can it kill.”
@@ShiningDarknes but you want it to stay sharp enough to kill even after you have used it for a bit
@@davidbengtsson4964 ...you realize I didn't reply to you right? I am in agreement with you as to why a sharpness test is done after the durability test and indeed is the last test. And its importance in showing the superior weapon.
I was merely remarking that the kill test in-of-itself IS a kind of sharpness test and thus the OP's statement about the sharpness test being useless is false by his own reasoning since there in fact is a sharpness test before the durability test, it just isn't called that.
You know, you rarely face the final boss at the stage 1
You want your weapon still sharp when you facing the final boss,
And the final boss probably at stage 100++
Like nails on a chalkboard the way they say Lochaber.
filthy animal Lock ah Bar- oh Christ I just heard it there and the cringe nearly killed me 😂
I must’ve missed this episode because one of the finalists is from Liverpool New York which is close to where I live!!!
Lawbringer is proud of you!
This would be that much better if they didn’t ask “You ready?” 400 times an episode
FACTS!😂
Woody's voice: theres a crack in my hook
Good guys. Good episode!
Imagine the blade coming off that thing and Doug just yeeting it into the audience
I think my favorite phrase is " it will KILL! "

*"Bladesmiths have their axes tested to see if they will keel in this clip from Season 6"*
I had to seek it out when it turned up on a facebook history channel post. I was like....I gotta hear how they say Lochaber!
I WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED!!!
Melhor programa de todos!
jst love this show❤❤
Hi! We’re glad you enjoyed the clip! Thanks for being a #ForgedInFire fan!
@@HISTORY where did the dummies go?
"Are you ready?, I mean you will just watch and I'll be testing your weapon that you forged but ARE YOU READY?". LOL
Hard luck
Both of the weapon were amazing💕😍
Joshua sounds like Bobcat goldthwait 🤣🤣
3:07 He said yes while he was shaking his head XD
"it will kill" is the best thing of this show
doug: *swings full force at literally one centimeter of skin keeping the pig together*
also doug: wow it’s heavy kinda wants to take me with it
What is the motivation of having this as your hobby? To each their own I guess. I watch in awe
Well today I cut out steel for a Viking sword so I guess my motivation is not having to spend $549.99 at cold steel and make my own.
@@therealamerican99.76 Given what Cold Steel usually uses for its blade steel, that makes sense.
fred fry. Yeah.
Am I the only one that feels that the guy in the blue shirt looks really creepy how he stands with his head forward and his shoulders slouched and whatnot?
Who else likes to read the comments after these videos and see if someone said "just came to see if it weel keel
Master piece if 6 socket...
I was dead when that man got mad cause there was a crack in his hook🤣😂
Your weapon “will keel”
Judges: "We don't care how it works, if your weapon is heavier, we will 'invite' you to leave".
Historical weapons are exceptionally light and nimble. A heavy weapon is unusable for an extended period. So this is a very important criterion.
Im always curious to hear about the time and how they are used. Tell us at the revealllll. Its the history channel
Mr Doug a.k.a Mr Keel...🤣🤣
Being a big Jock, I've heard some Scottish words being brutalized but they're version of Lochaber is the worst yet lol
As a Scottish person I take it as a personal insult the way they say lochaber it is completely wrong
Bruh I know.
It annoys me when Americans say loch wrong
But butchering lochaber that badly makes unreasonably angry
@Fight Fly Crow like lock but it the ck sounds more like you have had your throat ripped out and have been a 50 a day smoker for the last few years
Sidewinder LLama is it like the German "ch" that Americans can’t pronounce?
@@sidewinderllama2618 I had to look up the pronuciation, and yes... lmao.
Are you at least happy with the quality and performance of the weapons made?
They went ham on that pog
Quit looking at the ground Josh, hold you're head high.
I love how they say "it will kill", as if most sharp metal weapons don't kill.
Yep,he loves stating the obvious
forged in fire should make the weapons for knight fight
You are aware that the weapons for knight fight are deliberately built to be flimsy? it stops the weapons from potentially killing others.
It is always the lightest weapon that wins.
Love this channel ❤
Hi! Thanks for watching! Subscribe to never miss a new video!
HISTORY y’all prolly won’t reply but saying hi thanks for watchinf’g subscribe would brake me automatically not sub
Are they editing out the part where they do the history of the weapon!l!?!??!
Yeah, go watch the show if you want it
“I’m going to hook the shield and hit it with the ax”
*Shield is made of hardened steel, critiques slight edge roll. And post steel smashing “tests sharpness”. What bogus tests*
The whole point is it's supposed to be a superb weapon that can survive such tests. It's supposed to be hard
the judges hate weight over everything everytime haha
I wish the judges also tested their reference weapon, as a benchmark
Every time a losing bladesmith respectfully surrenders their weapon peacefully, it is more and more evidence that the majority of those with weapons are usually those who hope to never need to use them.
Nah, they just do it because they have to. That has nothing to do with the reality outside the show 😂
Thought he was going to fall but anyways "it will keeeel"😂😂
I love these episodes
Hi George! Thanks for watching #ForgedInFire on CZcams! Make sure to subscribe to never miss a new weapon test!
It's not a "lockaber" axe ... It's a "loch" - Aber axe. No "K" sound. But "Ch" as in the German "Macht". No stress on "aber" either. All one word with no stresses.
From Scotland.
Does anyone else want to dig their own eyeball out when that dude says “It will Keeeel”
It stopped being amusing after the third time. Now I just want to keel him everytime he says it. Basically you can kill with a wooden stick, so it is pointless to mention it and he should go into more details about the performance.
Love this
To wield a Lochaber axe is like a ballet of death. Just ask Doug.
He attack
He protecc
But most importantly : it will keelll
Weren't theses used for taking down heavy armoured infantry and Calvary so one would assume a little extra weight would be an advantage?
It may be. My guess for it's function would be to hook armored knights on horseback, then hit them with the heavy axe once they're off.
@@ChristianGonzalez-qu6fs Nice observation bro i agree but i still think a little more weight in the blade would be an advantage overall.
The force of an attack can come from the weight or the speed. German dopplehanders were heavier in order to disrupt enemy pike formation while spanish and portuguese montantes were lighter so the soldier could cover more angles and attack faster, but both blades delivered vicious cuts.
Sooo... can’t tell if heavier is better in this case. You would have to test both and pick up the one you feel more comfortable.
The period this axe was popularly in Scotlsnd was more at the end of the use of armour (late 16th to early 18th centery). Most of the pepole on the receiving end of it would be in wool coats and tartan plades at most with maybe a steal hide (skull cap) under a hat/bonnet.
So not so much for anti armour work but certainly anti cavalry/highland charges.
@@Marcus_McCormick11 You might be right i have not seen any mention of use against armour but certainly the fact that the blade was particularly "heavy" and used against Calvary here is the wiki info.... The Lochaber axe is first recorded in 1501, as an "old Scottish batale ax of Lochaber fasoun".[1]
The weapon is very similar to the Jedburgh axe, although the crescent blade of the former is larger and heavier than that of the latter.[1] The Lochaber axe took many incarnations, all of them having a few elements in common. It was a heavy weapon, used by infantry for a defence against cavalry and as a pike against infantry. Like most other polearms of the time, it consisted of two parts: shaft and blade. The shaft was usually some five or six feet (1.5 or 1.8 m) long, and mounted with a blade of about 18 inches (45 cm) in length which usually resembled a bardiche or voulge in design. The blade might be attached in two places and often had a sharp point coming off the top. In addition a hook (or cleek) was attached to the back of the blade. A butt spike was included as a counterweight to the heavy axe head. Langets were incorporated down each side of the shaft to prevent the head from being cut off.
Use
In hand-to-hand combat, the axe, in common with other polearms such as the halberd, has a spike on the end, to be used on close combat in a thrusting motion. The axe on the side, coupled with the long pole, delivered a powerful blow to infantry or dismounted cavalry.[citation needed]. The example in the Edinburgh Great Hall Museum shows a substantial rear-facing hook, for catching/pulling.
For lochaber axes used by the city guards of Edinburgh, the hook is almost level with the top of the staff, making them useless as a means to catch a moving object. These hooks, however, may have been used to hang the weapons in the guard room
Rather than kill test they should call it fun test!
It just looks like an excuse for Doug to play around with blades!
Dream job!
EEETTT WEEELLLL KEEEELLLLLL - I only come to hear this....
Laziest "forged" weapons ever
Look like machetes attached to shaved 2x4's
I'd love to see you go on this show
Actually forging a metalplate with just a hammer and making it even takes at least some skill. Same with heat treating.
@@dudemcnude1314 I agree
But compared to previous final rounds neither Smith put any extra effort into the weapon to showcase their skill
@@Moonman_40 yeah but i think even polishing takes too much time. I dont know if they forged therivets too and stuff but the concept of restricted time kinda blows the showcase of skill a bit away, because everything around forging takes time make it neat and tidy stuff up, if you dont already know your stuff for years/decades. Atleast thats what im thinking
Great episode, shame about the pronunciations.
Gotta say it! That last test was SWEEEET!
Chefs need to learn from blacksmiths on how to be good sports.
Could you guys make a naginata episode ?
i think they did
@@bacreative4 No they didn't
Doug and Dave, the cool uncles
Doug seems so much more happy in this video
...anyone else feel like they should've done the sharpness test before the strength test?
That's the point tho, to see how sharp the blade is after use. If they do the sharpness test first they're moreso testing how good the blacksmith is at sharpening and not the performance of the weapon
@@SaintMoonMoon You can't argue that that is their reason for having it in that order. Most the time the sharpness test is before the endurance.
@@mrpotat680 I mean you're just blatantly wrong since it's always kill, strength and sharpness in that order always
