      @hororo4053 Před 3 lety +12

      Forward heavy isn't necessarily bad. For choppers you want a certain degree of forward heaviness because the right amount will guide both the strike and the recovery of your blade. Ofc too forward heavy will make it unwieldable. But you're trying to hit that sweet spot. Forward heavy is different from just heavy.

    This exact machete style was wielded by the edo soldiers of the benin Empire in what is now known as Edo state Nigeria. It is still used as ceremonial sword used and held by the person that stands before the Oba(king). The Dahomey machete was a little bit different in the back, most were more round at the back end.

    One thing for sure I would love to see an episode where the bladesmiths make a weapon that the people who lived in the Amazon rainforest use to hunt food and that weapon is the blowgun and its a long narrow tube that has projectiles like darts, seeds and clay pellets while other people would dip the tip of a dart into poison and today the blowgun are used with tranquilizer darts to capture wildlife or to stun caged dangerous animals and the blowgun is made from hardwoods and they are used in sports.

    "That damascus pattern is going to help me with the judges' decision". Spoiler alert: no, it's not.
    I have a lot of respect for these smiths hand forging blades, especially the part-time ones--it's a passion for them. I just wish they could have read more about what makes a good sword. Being Pattern-welded is not in the list of criteria.
    What Forged in Fire doesn't explicitly tell you, and a lot of viewers or even professional knifesmiths (they are not swordsmith) fail to understand is: proper heat treatment, and more importantly good HANDLING characteristics weigh maybe a thousand times more than some crudely formed "damascus" pattern.

Some knifemakers think pattern weld equals good fit & finish, well it's because they have no idea what swords are, and what is important to swords' fit and finish. You can't blame them, these knifemakers (obviously not all of them, some among them are actual sword makers and sword collectors) haven't seen or handled a sword before.
