Beware of rapiers
History channel I very much enjoy forged in fire however I find it so annoying during the testing stage (usually after round 2) when there are such ridiculous slow motion shots. They are very often pointless and generally unnecessary. There is space for slow mo but the way it's used is like the show is produced/edited by a high school media studies student not a professional at a major TV channel on a massive show.
Ok lets do this.
Alright lets do it.
Yeah lets do this.
Sure lets do it.
I really love this weapon. 46in of killing beauty. At the hit rapier swords was the handgun of today. ever noble person has & trained on this weapon. enyone can shot a gun but it takes a person with balls to kill up closes. in your face close to kill like lass then 1 foot aka point blank range that is 000 range. that's putting the barul on or in there throut fire!
What do they do with the carcasses after? Are they fine to eat, or are they used for some other purpose? I really hope they just don't waste them.
"Unfortunately, your blade did not withstand a full on assault from the Incredible Hulk. This is a catastrophic failure, and for that reason, you cannot continue in this competition."
yes.

That 45 years ago thing tricked me for a second
Meme Lord haha get boofed

“Now then, to test how durable your weapons are we will be launching a thermonuclear bomb directly on top of each” five minutes later “well unfortunately for some reason your weapon will not cut”
It will kill tho.
Last I checked puddles can’t cut sooooo *grows third arm from radiation*
@@das3610 ikr like am I missing something here?
@@LNo-re7sk incase you didn't know, the sharpness test is to see if there's any sharpness left after the strenght test
I swear I thought she was 18
That flex test was more nerve racking then I was expecting.
that first part was like watching a horror movie
True that
Rules for winning Forged in Fire:
1. Use spring steel stock. Don't do Damascus/pattern welded steel.
2. Make your weapon as light as reasonably possible.
3. Make sure your handle is rounded and comfortable.
4. Get the heat treatment right.
5. Put some kind of shock-absorbing material in the handle.
You need to be a contestant
You don't want the handle too round or the weapon will be difficult to index
@@6393dude was about to say that. Lol
Handle needs to be ovoid in shape not round. You can't index something with a round handle it also turns in your hand when you make contact. An ovoid allows you to index perfectly and keep edge alignment even after you make contact.
Ik it’s overdone but do make a Damascus blade. If it comes down to aesthetics that’s points towards your blade
Two men on battlefield, one bends his sword and comments, " sir, I have had a catastrophic failure of my blade and cant allow myself to continue with an inferior hardened weapon and must leave the battle.
But, it weel keel
I agree mate, if I was in battle, it wouldn't matter if my blade was a lightening bolt shape, I would still fight!
@@thorfinn_jorstinnsonr Me also........keel or....be keelled !!
If it was battle you wouldn't have a Rapier
@@jmc9137 i guess you're missing the point. I said " sword " in my comment. The general thought being.. you use what you brought to the fight, no excuses. And then there's the stupid way in which they do their strength test. Stop using a knife as a hammer. Any bladed tool is for chopping, cutting, stabbing, or slashing. Every tool has a unique purpose.
these strength tests are bananas. its like something cold steel would do in their marketing. i could not believe how far those swords bent without snapping. was almost 90 degrees. both were very well made.
A blade that is hard will snap under pressure, combat isn't perfect and more often that not your blade is going in and out of something at a weird angle
charles norris It is not almost it is 90 degrees
SHPRESIM Leci it’s clearly not it’s a few degrees above
I cringe everytime they do this test
The test is original from traditional toledan blacksmithing and swordmaking.
It first consisted in flexing the blade 90 degrees both ways and then hit hard a helmet with it.
All good swords had to pass it.
Doesn't matter who wins. The real matter is will it keeeeel?????
Here’s my like
everything keeels. judgement don't matter.
*I T K E E L S*
I’m just waiting for the day when he says it will not keeel
It will keel
If I were the judges, I’d wear a full suit of plate armor while doing that wheel test.
That is a lot of potential energy.
Plate was well on its way out by the heyday of the rapier.
why?
Sergeant Rainstorm meant to protect against the rebounding metal bits should the blade experience a catastrophic failure.
The shock alone could br3ak a bone in the arm holding the sword. Worse yet parts of the blade could spin around impaling the person holding it.
That reason is also why they wouldn't the second blade through the strngth tests since it occured multiple fatigue points making it more likely to snap.
@@sl4637 it can bro... it's the murphy law, if something can go wrong, it will
the guy is a finalist in a forging competition 'i've never made a sword before'
Did pretty well though
A lot of the finalists say that on this show
Aaaaand then makes a sword that 'keeeels' AAAAND bends like magic - so he probably know enough about steel to not have to make swords hereafter :)
At the point in time I made my first knife 4 months prior to the competition. Longest blade I had made was 16” edge 21” OAL... I have been blessed to have been taught by some really talented bladesmiths and Was able to accomplish what I never thought I could. Amazing experience and invaluable life lessons learned!
@LG 215 i am planning on buying equipment for my shop to help make blades quicker, easier, and better! I can't seem to find a cheap hobby haha
They always seem to give up on weapons too easily.
"Your blade did reflect the sun into my eye a little bit too much. This is a catastrophic failure, and for that reason can no longer test your weapon."
It seems your edge has taken on a roll 1/64 inch long after we beat it with a sledge hammer while its was layed edge down on a bed of iron files. This is a catastrophic failure.
Should be more like: "It seems, that i cannot use any weapons, that are not short and stiff, like a chisel. This is catastrophic failure... I should be laid off, because for that reason i can no longer test your weapon..."
the only weapon i can remember thinking "they could keep testing it" was the wind and fire wheels : he had two of the exterior blades snap off. after the second, they gave a vote of no confidence. here it was more valid i think because of how close the bend was to the hilt, compared to the almost utter lack of bend in the other weapon
mustache mike bahahhahha fr
the nexy test was thrusting how do you thrust with a tip going at a 30 degree angle?
Contestant - "It's a little heavier than I would have wanted, but I think it's good!"
Judge - *shoulder explodes*
HAHA YES
Is it just me or is the flex test secretly insanely dangerous
there's a science to it. When steel is properly heat treated there are only three possibilities. Perfect, moldable, and brittle. The most "dangerous" is brittle, but in reality these types of blades just crack like potato chips. They dont actually explode like a glass bottle.
The most danger is just the judge slipping and falling after he loses his grip from a cracked blade
Maybe it's just me, but every time I see that wheel I cringe a little bit.
Sometimes it makes me think if the blade will just snap
On god
Sometimes I literally look away...
@@b_f_d_d it has
Not just you, that wheel is some crazy intense TV
why did they test a weapon designed for the thrust by slashing?
Civilian/duel rapiers were more for the thrust. More combat orientated ones could slash a bit more
@@Xtafa I suppose you are talking about sideswords?
You could slash with a rapier perfectly fine
@@systaltic863 yes but to compleatly ignore the thrust it pimarey purpose ????
Maybe the 3rd test would be thrusting something but they didnt have to go there since they already had a winner on 2nd test
The wheel of pain is terrifying. I always imagine the sword will break and strike the judge.
same here XD
Slowly over time, you can see how each contestant is clearly a fan of the show as well.. It's lovely to see
You're right, the show is a blast.
@@teddybearknives1868really bad to see your rapier bad bend.that day if you had a chance to do again can you do better?
Why aren't we talking about how that guy nailed the temper on his first sword?!
Is it difficult? Ive never tried metalworking but it seems pretty straightforward. Heat it at a certain temp for a certain amount of time depending on the steel you are using. Is it not as scientific as it seems?
@candler: blacksmith here. Its tough. Especially on something as long and thin as a rapier. Frankly with the level of warpage he had on his blade after straightening, I would have redone it
@@alexmalcolm5838 Not a blacksmith, but experienced fencer so I guess I'm the end user, would not like that level of warpage, unless I'm trying some weird moves where a bend could be to my advantage, but that would be foil not saber and for scoring points not killing.
@@aeis3007 curves the blade around their sword
NANI
@@alexmalcolm5838 would it be easier if you had a machine to do it for you?
5:48 “Ready Teddy?” You can just tell he’s been waiting to say that to him for awhile.
It never ceases to amaze me that no one ever realize that Doug has apperantly never touched a European manual on sword play. It is impressive that those rapiers could cut through a pig but why would that ever be expected?
because they werent making civilian dueling smallswords but MILITARY Rapiers that were expected to be used in a cut ...
@@Asghaad yeah... but uhm... in those times no one needed to cut your arm of in a fight. JUST a cut deeper then skin would already be enough to get the majority of the others army killed or long term out of action due to infections.
These weapons where never made to hack and slash and cut someone in a million pieces. These are ment to let you bleed and get you of the battle field.
Non lf these idiots know anything about weapons, they only do those idiotic brute force test "oeganoega sword does slash! Oegaboega sword dus cut! Oegaboega sword survices being shot in space!" Oegaboega sword ia guud.
They have no clue what the sword was used for and was supposwd to do. Hack. The say "a musketiers rapier blablabla" there is a cut history piece in the real episode. Heck.. they get 85% of the rapier wrong. Jezus they even show a pappenheimer pommel, A pappenheimer was used in GERMANY! But noo we have here a musketiers rapier, what ever that even is suppose to be. Since uh.... there are itallian sytle, spanisb style and german style, british style etc, rapiers. But no thing like "musketier" style
@@AsghaadRapiers are PIERCING weapons first and foremost, they're meant to reach the opponent from afar with quick THRUSTS.
Yes, rapiers could cut as well, but that's not their focus. Slicing attacks are secondary for a rapier.
If you want slashing weapons, that's what sabres are for.
@@maizjsj doesnt matter itf its "secondary" the military rapier is CUT and thrust weapon capable of severing limbs with cuts
by the same "logic" most longswords whould never be tested in thrust because they were primarily cut focused blades with thrust as a secondary (unless later specifically designed to be specialized in thrust) ... but you would still expect it to be tested in this scenario in a thrust because even as a secondary function its important part of the weapon as a whole because thrusting with longsword is just as important to overall function of the weapon as the cut is for the rapier
@@Asghaad I'm sorry I was so hostile with my reply, I should've done my research before speaking
Winner is Polnareff and Silver Chariot.
Nah, it’s Anubis.
I found the fellow Jojo fan
Yes!
@@emperorsponge9208 no, its the stair case
The wheele of pain makes me feel uneasy
The dude will have “ it will keel” on his grace stone.
"It keeled"
@Steve Jarvis grave
Xtafa “I got keeled”
Alice Hamilton “eet keeled mee“
Here we go again.. Google it ..its KEAL and why he say it that way.. then you will all know dumb people
Doug: Welcome to the KEAL test 😁😁😁😁
The PAIN you feel
The DAMAGE is reel
But most importantly....
IT WILL KEEL
😂
“I got plenty of room for errors” *almost breaks the sword quenching it*
That wheel of pain was more painful to me than to the sword
Maaaaan...it's not measurable how much i want that rapier
The way the judge says "It will kill" makes me die of laughter😂😂😂
@Dokter Theory lol
IT WILL KEEAAAAL :D
I really admire someone able to forge so well a sword, he knows what he is doing: materials, procedures, temperatures, temper...
This strength test has been the most anxiety causing that I have seen so far.. Oh man I thought for sure the sword would snap or bend majorly
Man the way they do that bending test if one of these ever snaps the dude is gonna get stabbed.
Dude Is gonna get keeled
@@dudove1 it will keal somebody
Holy sheet, I did not know rapiers could do that kind of slashing damage.
Crazy how doug’s so accurate/precise with his swings
"Now, a rapier needs to be a fast, light, flexible weapon" From what i've heard rapiers are actually little bit on the heavy side, what you are talking about is a... well google translate called it a skewer...
yeah, rapiers being light is a massive misconception. They were just as heavy as any other sword.
@@sailoroftheinternet3290 They are also pretty rigid. Only training rapiers are flexible, as to make stabs not dangerous... which is not a sought-after perk in a weapon BASED around thrusts.
@@sailoroftheinternet3290 yeah, the real difference with others type of sword is that in the rapier, a lot of the weight is concentrated in the cross guard
Rapiers are certainly not for the nimble types . They weigh from 2-4lbs. A bit of a range there.
The cross guard area has quite a bit of weight to it too.
Not sure why video games think the rapier is for lightweight bandit or thief types. Add a Rotella shield to your off hand and some armor to complete the set.
For nimble you want a epee or small sword in that role or a dagger.
Dear god that wheel test was terrifying! I dont flinch at any of the others but that slow bending to like, a 45 degree angle? Thats merciless.
I love it when he goes “ it will keel “
stolen
@@monke8434 Stolen? Literally everyone spells it "keel".
@@magnuslikestanks6044 nvm
r/wooooosh
@@monke8434 what part of "stolen" was a joke I didn't understand?
y`know, this show will never die, because it KEEEELS
Please do Divine Rapier next.
DUUUUUDE, that wheel of pain gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!
When the slow motion starts during tests I get the most extreme anxiety
Zombie Apocalypse bucket list:
#1 Make friend with These guy
😂🤣
Good point haha
I mean it'd be a good idea for every apocalypse, because everyone's gonna run out of bullets at some point, but jokes on them, you have a guy who can forge you and your group some good swords.
Wheel of pain is seriously thrilling even for audiance.
I fcuking love this programme its awesome, you can keep your masterchef, bake off, sewing competitions etc this is where it's at.
I always wished they still carried on the tests with the winning weapons
Satisfaction 100%
I'm just here for the "it will keel"
Saying"it will Keal" is best part
OMG the anxiety with the strength test. The mill.
2:41 Ok now that's a problem...
It was clever of him to pick the 5160, that guy did his research. Well deserved.
Sounds like both these guys just really good blacksmiths in general. Made Great weapons despite any setbacks and they may have had
these swords are for stabbing thrusts and maybe slashes, not wide swinging.
There is no example of a military sword made for an officer incapable of cutting.
Thrust only blades were for civilians, not musketeers.
Polnareff would love this
Somebody needs to point out to the show's producers and cast that eye protection isn't enough for that wheel of pain test!
If you listen again, the problem was that the blade bent, then was bent back the other way and stayed bent. They were questioning the heat treat and were worried it would break. Probably wasn't heated thoroughly
The amount of blacksmiths that say “I’ve never made a sword” on this tv show is crazy... like what tha? Isn’t this primarily a sword smithing competition?😂
I assume most blacksmiths find some niché that they foucus on
Yeah most blacksmiths these days only forge knives not many sword
@@Rick.Dicker you could make lances, axes, daggers, glaives etc.
Linus D N Glaives? oh yes. i like.
Most forge knives or stunt swords, they don't have to worry about making functional swords anymore.
Is it just me or does he seem really happy when it says it will kill
KEEel*
The wheel of pain is a monster ! We feel the smith’s pain !
Audience: "WHEEL!!! OF!!! PAIN!!!!"
I like the kinetic Energy formula on his witheboard at 1:09 XD
Worthwhile video on the rapier. This was one of the conquistador's weapons that struck fear in both the Aztecs and the Inca.
Nah it was the biological warfare bro. The small pox blankets that got us
@@matt33182 The pox infested blankets were used in North America by the British, and letters from the time prove this brand of germ warfare. Throughout the Americas, diseases, such as smallpox and measles killed many millions of native Americans, as you stated. The armored or partially armored conquistador on horseback with a rapier was a fearsome site, but they were sometimes rushed and defeated. This was not the case in Inca lands.
@@matt33182 you asking for a rematch?
@@primeministersinister625 I demand a rematch and I will sacrifice all the invaders on the pyramid steps like my ancestors. HUITZILOPOCHTLI!!! AGHH
@@matt33182 alright Matt, you have fun tracking down the one inca you're related to through marriage XD
"sir your sword... will kill!" Inside on everyman's brain there's a little child at the park with a stick dreaming this moment for so long.
When they bend the blade in the wheel, I always flinch up.
Glad I found this one, my favorite weapon from history
“My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
anyone else got extreme anxiety when they were flex testing the blades on the wheel?
for some reason when that dude said "10,000 dollar worthy no doubt" talking about his sword I immediately wanted the other guy to win lol
Bruh just imagine u on the battle field and you find out your weapon won’t kill 😂
When they were doing the wheel of pain my heart went like 1,000,000 beats per minute
Doug used a frisbee once. He said it will "keeeel."
Proving that a XVIth/XVIItn century rapier was indeed a formidable weapon.
Probably the top of European sword design and the endproduct of centuries of evolution.
Lethal in the hands of a skilful and trained swordfighter.
That wheel of pain is absolutely brutal... Wincing the whole time!
I used to be a katana guy but I switched over to rapiers as my sword of choice. that was a great rapier.
*it will keeeel** never gets old.
Bruh even if I'm not in the show, I still feel the intensity in the competition ESPECIALLY the strength test specifically bending the weapon and shooting it. 😁
7:38 at least he’s wearing safety glasses just in case the sword breaks
Hey, maybe you should wear something like a helmet? We have plenty on the wall.
Nah I'll be fine just give me some glasses.
Like that will protect his face, neck and chest from a piece of metal flying at the speed of sound
Kill: your weapon is a piece of S**t
K E E L: perfection.
The flex test may be the most suspenseful of all the tests; just waiting for the blade to snap 😱
They both builded a nice blade tbh.
This show is freaking addiction
My heart was beating like fast when he was doing the Wheel of Pain test!!
The wheel of pain isn’t just painful for the sword, but for the people watching as well
Finally watched you kick some Jesse! Great stuff man!!
You guys wanna put back up the full episodes? First time i actually watched the history channel in years was because you had full episodes on youtube.

when they say "catastrophic" to a bend but are hardly fazed when a blade breaks and flies by their face.
Just watching and wait for the Judge to say, "It will KILL". 😅
