Head: falls off
Doug: *I* *will* *not* *be* *denied*
That was the best part in my opinion
He looked like Amleto for a second. I love him he's the best tester!
Sounds like the barbarian off Diablo 3 lol
@@mattwhitetiger He's the only one that makes this show good lol
Woman: Closes legs
Doug: I will not be denied
Preemptive rebuttal: Calm down people I was just joking.
“I hate something i did hurt another person” makes a sword
L I don’t think many people in the US use swords in combat or fights anymore. If I were him I’d actually be surprised to learn my sword was used for anything more than a display piece.
Rotty therottski Issa joke
hahaha literally said the same thing word for word out loud before scrolling and seeing this haha
I was literally gonna comment this lol
I WAS GONNA SAY LMAO
"I'm gonna do something dangerous with your sword that it was not designed for. If I hurt myself, you're out."
KimboLimbi exactly
best test of whether a sword is fit for purpose, think logically here, in battle a sword is going to be used to deliver hard blows against other objects, if the handle hurts you then the blade may be fit but the sword is not
@@jamesnicholson3658 it didn't seem like the sword itself hurt him. He said he pulled something. Which is what happens when you hit a solid block of ice. I don't think it's the sword's fault imo
I think Doug is the only one capable of using these weapons properly. I understand the test but at least let someone who knows how to use the sword do it.
@red x17 Pretty sure it is not.
"When two hard things hit each other, something's gotta give"...
Jay's wrist
Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking
Lmao best comment by far
Jay: "I'm going to use this hammer you've built to set this windshield onto the car. Are you ready?"
Jay: "Because the glass severed my hand, I have no confidence in your weapon and you will be asked to leave the forge."
@@ryanshannon7703 "I'm gonna use these brass knuckles you've made to punch a stell wall until it falls down."... "because my arm bones are now dust, I have no confidence in your life or this weapon. Leave the forge."
@@backyardbiologist6468 Jay: I think I broke my wrist and shattered my phalanges punching this steel wall with these brass knuckles. Because of these safety concerns, you will retire your weapon and leave the forge.
Brilliant
Doctor: what happened?
Jay: I was beating a sword as hard as I could against a block of ice, and hurt my hand
Doctor: I’m sorry your judgment has been ruled a vote of no confidence. Please leave the ER.
Exactly
Yeah, i expected Billy to win anyway, but it was the user's fault in that case for getting his hand hurt. Not the smith's
@@praline4162 to be fair it does look like he hit way to hard or the ice gave more than he expected because it was the moment the last hit occurred which was different from the rest and you notice two things.
1. The blade shifts possibly from an unexpected ice break
2. The handle wasnt an issue until the ice did something unexpected
My Dr is a ball buster. I can already hear him asking so do you do lots of stupid S**** and wind up in the Emergency room or is this a first-time??
Chad Coffey dude thank you 😂
2nd guy: "I wanna make this sword as historically accurate as I can"
2nd guy: *proceeds to make it Damascus and put an American flag on it*
my thought exactly
Don't know much about history don't know much about biology hahaha etc.
Typical yank
so what, he made the sword he can have a little fun with it.
With damascus pattern as well hahahah
"I'm gonna try to make it as historically accurate as I possibly can"

@@johnaudio232 Freak
That actually WOULD be a problem if you used a sword in historical combat.
A sword isn't much use in a fight if you've injured your hand too much to keep using it...
The corner of the ice broke off causing the sword to twist, which could have been no fault of the blacksmith. The strength test involves a lot of force and that force can be dangerous. The result was unfair in my opinion.
but that is the point of the test. Its extreme, they even say that. His handle was loose before the test began.
Yep, neilson pussed-out. Definitely not as good as jason knight
If the handle was tight then most likely there wouldn't be an injury when testing the sword .
They should of known not to choose the ice test if they knew the handle was loose then...
Mark Cissell the test was chosen before anything happened to the sword. They can’t do that, it’s not fair to the other guy
"I will not be denied," possibly the best line ever.
Makes a sword. Tester: let’s hit a block of ice. Sword breaks ice and guy breaks hand because of being stupid, sorry you can’t move on. That’s was the stupidest test ever
Jason Buben have you ever seen this show????
What I think Jason the sword would still kill a man. It chopped right three a block of ice. If the guy didnt want to be hurt he should of never used a sword to chop a block of ice.
The funnier part was that the sword was never even made to fight a guy in midevil armor. Using the block of ice test for a midevil long sword would of been fine.
The sword they showed was made to fight guys in thick leather, thick close, wooden armor. But it was never made to go up against a man in chain mail or plate armor.
To me the sword may be able to kill. But it was more of a sign to show leadership and a decorative peice for there dress suit in ww2.
That had no true meaning and was barely used to kill in ww2.
It wasn't about him hitting the ice that hurt his hand, if you bothered to listen he was saying the loose fitted handle and bad design of it was catching and pulling at his hand, hence why they brought up the sword flexing back and forth to the first guy, when force needs to go somewhere it's supposed to be absorbed by the flexing of the blade and a stable hilt, not by your wrist.
Jay literally gets hurt every other strength test he does
Maybe because the tests are moronic and not even slightly useful testing
Its the only way he can 🔝 sick/vaca days
Arthfael Online I don’t really think they are supposed to be applicable. I think they are more meant to be a really abstract way of testing the blades to see if they can withstand extreme testing, just to set the better blades apart. The tests really do work sometimes because as blades break, they know they weren’t strong. Jay just always does it way too aggressively with no finesse and swings like a big bumbly sea bear then wonders why he gets “hurt”
@@BigwillyR exactly it's extreme testing for failure torture testing sets the blade smiths apart
@@TheWhoamaters i think you need to look up what STRESS testing means. The point of the testing is to set the best blacksmiths apart from the rest. If a blade bends in the bone chop then it wasnt built with strength in mind, if it dosnt slice then it wasnt sharp enough etc. the tests hold relevance no matter how over the top you think it is. At the end of the day the blade that beats the tests is the blade worthy of winning.
"I will not be denied" - Dug 2019
Footprints For Two Travel , it was so cute when he said that!
Daddy Doug will not be denied
Doug Marcaida shall not be denied!
Honestly sounds like something Mad Jack would have said
Doug*
It's so ironic how I find Doug's "It will kill" phrase so heartwarming
Nana Prempeh not kill ,keel* lol
@@carlosquintana9646 that's right keel. not kill. It will keel 🗡️😁
Really? Emergency room?!?
Doctor: what happened?
Jay: a metal guard to a sword taped my hand
Doctor: I’ll prescribe some vagasil
For shows like this, a lot of the time it's not the decision on the hurt individual whether to go to hospital or not. It's the network or insurance company, because money. So even if the person thinks they're fine, the higher ups will send them to hospital to maintain their product, for lack of a better term.
Considering the grip was coming loose and the amount of force being used, there's a very real possibility of a fracture in the forearm, various bones in the hand, torn ligaments or tendons, etc. that if not treated could result in permanent loss of function in the hand.
If it was the metal guard impacting the wrist or forearm, well, steel is harder and denser than bone and thus the bone would probably fracture if enough force was applied to a small enough area.
That and TV production companies LOVE having top-dollar insurance on their performers' safety, health, etc., so it was probably the producer's decision to send Jay to the ER to insure that there was no damage, or that if there was damage, it would get treated as swiftly and thoroughly as possible.
Ahh reminds me of southpark.
Do they take in consideration, that the testers striking techniques may be insufficient?
Really tho, you'd think that was the case, the way he was hitting the ice block. He was mistaken it for a hammer lol
@Alexander Supertramp yeah ice blocks dont seem human too me
@@atomic2sleezy267 there is a human holding the sword that hits the ice.
Insufficient to notice that blade gets bend or broke your arm? )
Come on! Yes, it's not scientifically accurate or consistent, but It's quite obvious which sword you will buy.
@@MrChipMC
Of course its supposed to be a field testing still a strike that ist dealt wrongly can influence the outcome heavily

“Feels like something pulled...” must be the sword, definitely not the guy swinging a sword like a hammer into a solid material idiotically.
The thing is, he did the same thing to the other one, and it was fine.
Trilby Man Owens people also can potentially do heroin many times before they get hurt lol. When you do something stupid you can reap the consequences
@@keeganowens8949 did you see the way the second sword took apart the ice?
@@pineappleperson7198 I did, but if the sword is tough, it matters not a whit when your wrist is broken.
❄
Jay: *hurts his hand while doing something stupid and dangerous with a lethal weapon.*
Judges: “sorry Robert we gotta disqualify you.”
bruh the sword literally broke the ice corner, causing ricochet to the blade twisting it and hurting him. i feel like his blade was better since it cut off a corner of ice and sliced the head with one cut
TheLonelyTurtle._. I think they did deny him of a fair chance but the handle was loose and the other guys sword cut off the head almost as good. I would rather have a good handle with slightly less cutting ability but still get the job done then a sword with a bad/uncomfortable/loose handle that cuts slightly better. They did do him dirty but still in my opinion he would have lost anyway
the ice block test isn't about sharpness
"The test is about what the ice does to your sword, *not what the sword does to the ice* "
@SomeRandomGuy The handle was already coming apart on Doug. Not gonna argue with the Jay part though...
Did you even watch the video? They make a point to mention that the handle was lose before the test
Love the fact you can tell this isn't just a job for Doug. He's having fun

No, we have a Panzer 4 at home.
Panzer 4 at home: 0:01
i love this
How dare they make him feel like that Jay knew the risk, this was reckless even for them. Testing a prototype made hastily under stressful circumstances with maximum effort with only safety goggles as protection. I liked this show but this episode gave me a sour taste in my mouth. Shame on the judges for blaming him only.
I wish I could agree, however, the blade handle was loose which was the reason for the injury since jay couldn't get a steadily firm grip. And considering the blade was forged by someone else, it's their fault for not making sure the handle was secure fully
@@DeletedGemz yeah exactly, they even blame the ice block!😂😂😂
Shame on those people blaming the judges, i wish they would try chopping hard objects using a blade with loose handle.
❄
@@DeletedGemz While the handle was obviously loose, and he probably would have lost anyway, you cannot deny the fact that Jay seems like he doesn’t know how to swing the sword. And even if you think that he can, he gets hurt because of what he does every other challenge and the competition is the one that suffers and not every one of his injuries is the weapons fault. There is no denying that. And they should have more protection than safety goggles if you plan on bashing a sword into a solid block of ice as hard as you can over and over again
@@gmpronoob3962 Shame on the judges!! 🥰
6:10 lol I will not be denied

And puts an American flag on a Scottish sword😂
Stupid bloke
" I WILL NOT BE DENIED"
I am scared shitless right now
god bless the guy that first thought about making this show.
Jay ALWAYS complains about the weapon and how it hurts his *baby hand*
Stop letting him do the strength test! Give it to handlebar stache guy
we dont evne get to see stache guy these days. hes a geezer
Bruh you don't know Dave's name?
*hits ice with sword*
"Ow, my hand hurts!"
I think I found out why.
I mean the purpose of the sword wasn't even beating a block of ice! and the most disturbing is Jay was hitting the block of ice like he was doing it with a hammer!
"Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed."
-Mad Jack
Yeeea
Mad Jack Churchill... absolute legend
I dont think that guy understands what the word "Historical" means
T O' I think he meant more in technique over appearance flair of his own. Using a single metal piece for the hand guard and a very old form of metalworking which had been brought to Europe and was used in many swords despite its name being linked to the Middle East due to its technological travel from that area to Europe. I won’t really fault him for playing with the designs and flair that don’t affect how at its core it is forged.
For people who have no history it's quite understandable..
I think he actually meant "hysterical"😂
@@rottytherottski522 yup, all those historical swords with one piece basket guards. All of them were drilled using a drill press and cut, not a single one was hammered or shaped, all just cut out with power tools.

@@willbrand9620 Well no
The ice block owed him rent
Best moment in the shows history. Picks up dummy head and punches it. "I will not be denied" 🤣🤣😂🤣
Haha its not because he’s hitting a block of ice like a maniac?
The huge chunk of ice fell on the sword that caused injury to Jay, it wasn't Robert's fault! Jay gets injured in every strength test
“I will not be denied!” I love it.
Doug: *cuts off head*
Doug: *goes to pick up head*
Doug: *punching the head*
Doug: I WILL NOT BE DENIED!
When Jay went to go hit the block of ice the corner broke off and the blade flexed in the direction of the fallen corner making Jay roll his wrist essentially as you would roll your ankle, you can see how his hand twists at an improper angle. Wouldn't blame the smith for that one.
True
it's because the handle was loose
if it was tight it wouldn't of happened
Yea regardless the handle was loose and he would have lost for that reason alone.
Larry Clark
first off it is “wouldn’t ***have*** happened”, and second yes it would have happened if the handle was tight. If anything it would have been worse, when the blade rotates it has a bit of give where it doesn’t transfer to the handle if it was loose, say maybe 5 degrees of leeway meaning a 90 degree twist would only move the handle 85 degrees, if the handle was completely tight his arm would take the full twist. Hitting that ice and glancing off it is effectively the same as someone grabbing the blade of the sword and suddenly twisting it in his hand, whether the handle is loose or not isn’t going to change the fact that his arm is going to get twisted.
"I'm gonna make it as historically accurate as I possibly can"
proceeds to put American purple heart on a Scottish sword.
I would have laughed if his sword would have broke on the pool noodles.
Guy made a Duke Nukem reference... And Doug laughed... Mission accomplished? XD
Although it is from Duke nukem, this " phrase" is older. From a movie called" they live" 1988. My guess is, they know it from there
Said by none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper
@@ZackBlackwood97 rip to the legend
Honestly best show ever
You’ve got to be kidding me. I hate Jay. He purposely “hurts himself” he’s a joke. And does not need to be testing weapons if he is gonna act like a child.
And yet he didn't hurt himself with the first sword??? Naw the second guy just didnt know how to make a good handle.
A loose handle/grip can cause a LOT of things to go wrong. A little extra torque and it could pull your wrist while you're gripping the handle, causing tendon damage or a sprained wrist. If the steel guard impacted the forearm or wrist it could have fractured the bones.
@@madhatten00 he got hurt because the corner of the ice broke, so the sword spinned. I think the second sword was better, i mean, it decapitated that guy in 1 strike!
@@Cassian2506 The blade is good but the handle and guard are bad.
@@marcjosephconstantino3940 exactly, what a good blade can do when handle is bad or loose? There it is, bcoz of bad handle i almost lost my arm coz it twist so bad, and there they are questioning the decisions of judges and blame them for what happened.
Before anyone else comments about the validity of the strength test: Jay is a master smith. There are less than two hundred of them in the world. The man's practically a 3 Michelin Star chef in the smithing world
5:12 Hilarious - he's got blood on him on his face and he just continues talkin "Alright, Billy..." lol
Damascus: exists
Everyone on this show: I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
"Bladesmiths welcome to the strength test. Today I am going to try my hardest to hurt myself swinging your sword at a solid target." have you considered not using an iron grip Jay? Gripping a sword too tightly causes undue stress on the wrist and you with hurt yourself swinging even the finest blades that are perfectly ergonomic.
Idk why but I absolutely *LOVE* the way he says “overall... it will keeeeeeel.”
Yeah this is peak "blame the weapon for the fault of the user". The guys sword did nothing wrong, maybe shouldnt have been smashing it against a block of ice
Jay beats everey thing like a hammer... Im surprised that these swords are still in one piece
Hence why it's called a STRENGTH TEST! Testing the strength of the blades.
Douglas Haley with that mindset you might as well shoot a cannon ball against the sword because it’s a ‘’ strength’’ test..
@@Joel-tv7jw nah they use bullets from time to time.
@@DMNDR The issue is Jay has terrible form and can't swing a weapon correctly. His lack of ability to control a weapon has nothing to do with the design and everything to do with his incompetence.

Make a *scottish* backsword.
Billy: Nah. Murica.
Dear FiF judges,
Please note that on Jay's test, the second contender made an equally deadly piece. Probably even deadlier than the first.
It was just a problem of whoever goes second in the test. Ice chopping is a pretty brutal test on the arms and I feel that someone should have continued with testing. The guard didn't come off, it was just a different approach on the finish.
Good day!
6:08 best part of the whole test
The guy hurt himself by swinging the sword like an idiot.
It's his own fault. Funny how he waited till after he hurt himself to start listing off problems with the sword.
❄
I know there is a level of appeal when having a big man use his brute strength to test a sword buy slamming it as hard as possible against things. However, putting the appeal aside, why not make the strength test done by a machine? I hear he gets injured in these tests often. This would protect him from these cases. Plus I have reason to believe with the ice breaking off like that may have effected the users grip or handling. It may not have been the sword smiths sword at fault but random chance or user error.
What a good sport, knows what he did still wants to improve and keep moving forward
"A sword isn't made to hit a block of ice" Thank you wise words from a humble man
Sent him to the ER? I didn’t even see any blood on him lol
Suspicion of ligament injury probably and he is working, so his employer will want him to go to the ER, to not make himself liable.
He said it might have been pulled
It was already commented on that the handle was loose and it was slipping in Dougs hand. It look like it torqued his wrist pretty hard in the ice chop. Lot of ways to hurt yourself without drawing blood dude. If enough force goes through your wrist at the wrong angle, can damage ligaments, muscle, even break it.
Dude his Grunt while swinging... I can’t
Robert is the true winner.. He has the sharpest blade so far..
Good for you 🙏
"I'm doing it all by hand-" yep, that's the guy I am rooting for. Every time.
Love all the swords
"I'm going to swing a sword with all my might into this ice block, if it hurts me it's all your fault"
The tester skills has no confidence good bye lol
The dude that hit the blocks of ice definitely has some type of pent up anger issues
You would too if you had to look at a ridiculous colonel Sanders mustache in the mirror everyday.
Man. Seeing Jay hurt his hand because of that sword really makes me share the pain.
People may complain about his role as a judge, but he has a reason to do so.

The ammo can quench tank is awesome.
it wasn’t the swords fault. the block of ice chipped off and the sword flexed in that direction causing him to pull something in his frail body. pretty unfair
