Need more katana's
Put more seasons on Hulu or get a Netflix deal lol
I would love to know the what each of three judges the favorite bladed weapon in all of history is mine would have to be the Khopesh sword aka the sickle sword I have just always really liked the shape and style of that blade it hits like an ax and cuts like a sword.
I really like that weapon is fun 🤩 But what happened Wil Wills?
"Dave, I hate this plan."
Truer words have never been spoken on this show :D
Thanks, I meant it. And he hit that ram 5 times not just the three, they show, I kept thinking” when is he gonna stop??”
@@jamesw6272 Man, excelent job!!! Hi from Dominican Republic. Your Blade was beautiful.
@@jamesw6272 nice job man
@@jamesw6272 No smith ever envisions their blades being used on a tree, with the exception of machetes. It's a totally unreasonable durability and strength test. Congrats on it passing that brutality.
I think everyone on the show (at least those that makes the weapons) hates the strength test. That is the one that makes or more often then not break a blade.
I felt so bad for Lyle he looked so certain of his doom and so sad about it
8:37 got me feeling really bad for him. like the other guys sword did everything his did but better.
@@zacharygiles2984 but then his loss didnt come from poor craftsmanship, it came from assuming from him not realizing that lighter isnt better. he probably thought he should make a sword so big as light as possible. and ended up making it too light.
@@chiefbigsad7995 problem wasn't lightness, it was it being blunt. His sword was clearly less sharp than the other one.
@@horvathbenedek3596 As Doug said, it was a sharp blade but the light construction made it more flexible. It cut the leather but couldn't penetrate since the force wasn't being delivered across a single vector.
@@brendanni4160 Doug is not exactly reliable. He doesn't quite understand swords. The reason the sword couldn't penetrate wasn't that it was flexible, it was because it was dull, and the foam and leather could divert it.
It's gotta be so awkward standing there whilst your opponent outclasses you in every test.
He made it into the finals, created a ultra light William Wallace monstrosity in four days that withstand every test but was up against the A+ dude.
pretty awkward when they dnt know what century wallace was born in lol, It wasnt the 12th that for sure lmao
I mean these guys are American
Better than having your blade breaking
@@viavlogs1901 true
Go James! Started watching this episode and recognized you from the D&D game in Maryland we played 2 years ago. You showed us some of the knives you made and it's so awesome to see you win with such an epic weapon. Great job!
Hey!! Eric, thanks man! We loved that trip! Iv told so many people about it! My wife just got so exited when I read this to her.
You still doing the d&d b&b ??
@@jamesw6272 We had a blast that trip too! When I saw you pop up for the first time it took a minute for it to click but then I remembered you talking about your blacksmithing and it all came back. We haven't been back to that b&b, but we're still playing a ton of D&D with friends. What an awesome sword to get to build for this episode. I was so nervous watching the strength test, especially with such a long blade. Was rooting for you the whole time though! Haha
@@jamesw6272 You made a great sword. Literally. Congrats on winning the competition man!
When he said, "There can only be one...," one of the contestants should have grabbed their claymore and decapitated the other Highlander style.
Why have I never thought of that before, easiest way to forged in fire, unless of course other guy is a good swordsman as well 😬
I... i agree with that
They say it wrong. In Highlander the line is "There can be only one"

This is the way
When Lyle was running all that way trying to get his sword to the quenching container... I knew he wasn't gonna beat James. I was afraid it would break actually, but actually he made a very strong and unique sword still. Good on him.
James' sword is of course almost as close to perfection as you can get. It's just such a beautiful sword.
yes, me too. all the way long and the sword was cooling down quickly. he chose the most difficult way to make it.
Yea james ingenious horizontal quencher was far safer and much more effective, and that almost single handedly brought him a victory
When someone starts waving a massive sword about you better have those plastic safety glasses on so you don't loose and arm, leg or your head.
Or maybe don't get splinters flying into your eyes...
But sure, lets go with your logic.
@@WolfFireheart whoosh! That one went straight over your head, didn’t it?
When they hit the log it could have broke and went anywhere
@@spiffydaily8855 that made no sense
🤣🤣🤣
I just can’t stand that Wil is not the host anymore
@No Theory Wil had a child near the beginning of the year. It's not likely that he is no longer hosting at all, rather than he's just taking a break this season to be a dad
Well that's wholesome at least
@@UnstandardOtaku his child gonna be a handsome/beautiful child
Stop watching then
Me either... While I heard unfamiliar sound, I looked to my screen and saw the host's face, he wasn't Wil!
1:47 we all do buddy...we all do
😂
BRUH😂
😂😂😅
This feels like the 8th time they've made them make claymores
4th claymore
is it the first time they didn't bend or break?
@@juliusmorgan2292 no, when Ben did a claymore his was perfect, unsurprisingly
This is the third time but this one was used replica parameters with a much longer blade than the first two.
Season one both blades failed in the first test then season 3 it was a champion of champion round and Ben won the other was to light and would not cut.
Only two claymores have made it through all the challenges Bens form season 3 and mine now
@@jamesw6272 congratulations man for the win...awesome weapon
“Sharpness test” right after swinging it at a solid block of rigid wood ha.
I don't think it was right after. He said that the guard was "still loose" from that ordeal, so I think they tried to repair and sharpen the blades between the tests.
@@meteroson6428 dont think they resharpen it. tests are done in that order on purpose. 1. how well can it cut and slice, 2. how does the sword as a whole tolerate abuse, will it break. does everything hold up and stay together. 3. edge retention gets tested. after a beating that should blunt or chip a poor edge/blade (or snap it entirely) the ability to still slice right through shows the edge held up well and isnt too brittle as well as the grind angle was good
The sword has an edge on either side though
That is the best order for the tests, makes the differences between sword quality more clear that way
It’s to see how the edge held up under stress
“Is like cutting trough bara”
@Ethan Palconan it will keel
Is like cutting through butter.
😅
Crazy they managed to make such large blades that well very impressive
4:59 he has to be saying it like that on purpose it's pretty much a meme at this point lol.
I love that they go with it
I hate it... So annoying...
@@kaibaman7767 ok doomer
He sells Shirts with that phrase so yeah its on purpose
eet weel keeeel
History channel, proving that swords can go back 150 years in time.
“There’s a little bit of a warp in it but it’s not bad”
Dude any warp is bad
You can grind out slight warps, but on such a long sword it wont be all too effective
Naah... not really. There are treatments to counteract slight warps.
Inquisition and plenty of them...😏
@Phillip Ramos it's CAPTAIN obvious, but go off sis
@@tek_dragon2077 Kinda liking the sound of “admiral obvious”, and calm down lmao
I had no part in making a single blade on this show, yet every time they're tested I'm incredibly stressed
We're all the same...part of enjoying the programme...
8:09
Alright, James. The edge of your sword, it's like cutting through BATTAH.
“Why would you attack a battering ram with a sword? We are gonna do it anyway”
This right here is in the same vein as the military tactics used by D&D for the Battle of Winterfell. Cavalry, ride off in to the darkness. Hiyah. Trebuchets in front of the infantry for sure.
Honestly hitting a battering ram with a sword makes far more sense than that battle
I really shouldn't even get into the things logistically wrong with that battle. If I even got started I would be here a while. I will only touch base on one thing since you mentioned it specifically. The trebuchets should have been right at the base of the foot of the outer castle wall behind the trench the dug so they should fire as long as possible. They knew the Night King would likely attack at night. They should of had bon fires set a just beyond max range, max range and every so many yard beyond that. As the bon fires winked out they would know the range of the enemy and make adjustments.
I'm not going to touch on anything else.
How many of us were thinking: that's what axes are for. Or, better yet, flaming oil.
Don't remind me lol i just remembered the hype of the Dothraki and their flaming weapons only to Leroy Jenkins and get wiped out seconds later.
They both made great weapons. We all knew when the one loosened up who the winner will be. No matter who took home the championship those were both great swords with a lot of work and devotion in them.
I already knew when I saw a copper detail on the sword. Copper is too weak material and was not used on these swords.
Both swords are amazing. I would be proud to have either one. This takes some real skill to make something this size. Much Respect!
I am always impressed by the map and the distance that sometimes separates the competitors. there they are each next to a different ocean. my whole country, i think, is barely the size of texas.
The U.S. is definitely on the large side when it comes to countries and with 50 states it always makes me laugh when people generalize about America. It would be like making all encompassing statements about Europe or east Asia. The only generalization I'll make is that I love the whole thing.
@@Erebus66 well put
@@Erebus66 yep... know what u talk, i'm from brazil and how things are different from north to south
@@Erebus66 I have a friend that visited me from the UK. He wanted to visit the Grand Canyon then maybe go to Las Vegas to see the Casino strip. I live, and he visited us in, PA. His mind was blown when I told him how long we'd be sitting on a plane just to get there, then the drive from the canyon to Vegas. He settled for the PA Grand Canyon, which is still a large and respectable canyon in it's own right, and going to the Casino's in Atlanta. That distance to drive was enough for him, haha.
Europeans really and truly just do not understand the SIZE of the US. When we say rural, they tend to think of a town that is maybe 15-20 minutes from a city (which is rural, but it is considered semi rural here). The idea that you need to drive 5-10 minutes just to visit your neighbor is incomprehensible to most Europeans. I mean, we have completely untouched land the size of some countries in the continental 48.
The thing is, its represented as a smaller land mass on all maps and all globes than it truly is. Its massive by comparison to many countries in general. We have stretches of land here that have a few hundred people for hundreds of miles. That's not the case pretty much anywhere on Earth. They have populated and spread out far more in other countries. If we step up our breeding game, maybe we fill it up in a few hundred years. Not likely though, simply too much open land.

@@centuryunited2506 it's okay.
@@centuryunited2506 don’t be sorry,
It’s a joke that they didn’t get.
I can relate to this joke and so can most the couples i know lol.
This clip is riddled with “That’s what she said” moments.
That's... that's what she said. Am I doing this right??
1:47
Does old boy add an extra "e" to "keeeel" every year or is that just me imagining it?
Keal- keep everyone alive..
He has little children that watch the show
Imagine Doug putting his bloody shirt in a washing machine and said: This shirt will definitely KLEEEAN!!
Or if somebody injures himself, Doug will tell him "It will heeeaaaal."
I really appreciated Jay's contribution to these tests
Those claymores are darn hard to do. Even getting them through all the tests is an accomplishment. Think they always broke before, and those were smaller than this one.
Huge congrats to both competitors for delivering solid weapons.
Ben Abott made a claymore in the Champions edition that did well
Agreed. Ben's Claymore was GORGEOUS and it did it pretty well.
@@themadhatter9939 Ben Abbott's claymore is literally the sword the new host presents at the start. Go look for videos of Ben's sword from season 3: it's the exact same one, down to the stitching on the handle.
@@themadhatter9939 Ben's Claymore is still the best weapon ever made in the show in my opinion
I love this series
Me too!..It keels😁
Me too I want to forged one😃💡
I always knew back in the day when military fought each other using these weapons how important it was to have a good made weapon this show illustrates how important it was very clearly
Dude, i have to admitted....the strength test in this episode is the most brutal one I've ever seen.
Ya it was nuts! And in real life he did 5 strikes, they only show three, I had a mini stroke when he kept going after the third hit
james w you crushed it James - great episode, nice work
Well... i allways hate the iceblock test... give shivers down the spine
@@jamesw6272 dude that's nuts, good job man
Cutting through battahhhh
This is awesome finally seeing a local from Bloomsburg, PA
Does he have a page
I'm from somewhat in that area of PA too. Cool stuff.
What a beautiful sword, i hope one day I have the means to have my own workspace and get into making stuff like this myself....
My name is William Wallace Welker and I approve of this sword! Fun fact: that guy up there that just won, ya, he is my little brother.
Well he did a nice job.
This is such a cool comment to read
Yikes, an american flag 🤢 but he made an EXTREMELY beautiful sword, amazing job
@@tek_dragon2077 They're American, of course they would have the flag of their nation, you arrogant to something?
Can you ask him to make me one and how much it will cost?? Seriously though. I'm serious
That was very satisfying after watching the catastrophe that was the first time competitors made Scottish claymores on Forged in Fire.
No Will, no fun. (Yes i know he just had a child and that's why there is a different host)
I was just about to ask where he was!
You don't like the new guy with cold hands? Haha
Hey I like PC Principal
I was about to ask what happened 😂
He did'nt LOOK pregnant. Weird.
“It will keal”
They both did great those swords performed so much better than I expected
Going from watching Master Chef to this is so much more wholesome
“You’ll be leaving here with a check for 10k”.. looks to the left, then realizes nothing is coming, might as well rub my hands again
Awesome show, fine smiths, and fair knowledgeable judges a pure pleasure
8:03 Good job James......now give yourself a pat on the back.
Finally a great performing claymore.
I was super stoked to get a claymore challenge,
@@jamesw6272 That was a fantastic looking and fantastic performing blade! probably my favorite blade I have seen on Forged In Fire yet.
“The key to victory with a weapon of this size...is performance” wiser words have never been spoken
Both swords are truly wonderful... the lighter one is still fully functional and impressive. But the heavier one is just perfectly made, especially the pommel has had a good design.
I only watch these videos for when he say “it will keal”
We all do😂😂
@@ibramarsa5662 actually that is the worst part for me. I always wish he say it not like a psycho... bruuhhh... cringey...
@@anrikvakhadze2549 C’mon it’s the best part of the three stages when they put the sword to the test. But we all have our preferences
Sure thing
frrrr hahahahahahahha
"There can only be one"

There can be only one ..... close but slightly off 😉
@@larrybavis6266 I mean, thats how he said it, "There can only be one"
Bro that sword cut through time
I imagine a world where the History channel has no reality TV game shows. It's beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes, and myself to my knees. Something inside me believes that such a place existed once. I feel that it existed once.
I miss those times when you watch history channel to watch old ww2 docs. Feels so warm
God bless william wallace🏴🏴
I don't think I could ever get tired of the way he says KEAL
really? it got me rolling my eyes the second time he said it.
So amazing how people from around my area go places like this, especially in small towns in the NEPA area
*starts hitting a log with a sword*
DOOM MUSIC INTENSIFIES
5:01 keeeeel
The size of the quench basin alone.
6:06 David Baker standing there silently smiling at them because he knows they know he's about to try to break their weapons just hits differently.
This is like the manly equivalent of home baking a cake and sharing it with your friends.
I feel like the new host is trying to be Wil.
He cant replace will... just that will has a newborn and family stuff to care for ..he'll be back next season...
This both swords are REALLY beautiful pieces
Never seen so many smiles while saying the word kiiiiiiLL. 😄
"Never made a sword of this caliber." So an ex-caliber? 😂
this cracked me up!

Wow! Thanks for sharing!!!
Judges logic be like: hmm I wonder why this thin metal sword broke after I violently smashed off of a solid concrete pillar” lmao
I knew James would win. Having kit that works would be a necessity as chainmail and a greatsword is appropriate attire for navigating most parts of Tacompton, excuse me, Tacoma.
Hey tacoma isn't that bad. Trust me I lived in Cali and spent age 12 to 41 here in tacoma. And Cali you need chain mail and Kevlar.
It's mail - not chainmail.
Just keeping you colonials on the straight and narrow...🥃🏴⚔
The strength test always makes me hold my breath.
I own two old fighting swords. One is a Claydick which is a smaller claymore and it is still sharp. Has a basket grip. Straight blade sharp on both sides. No blood grove. Probably 250 years old. The other is a British cavalry sabor from the early 18th Century. The curved blade is heavy and sharp. It has a basket grip. On the wide blade is engraved "Carnage paves the path to glory". The blade is long and weighted at the end. It must have been deadly in combat. I have never tried to cut anything with either of them, but I think both would kill just as they did when new.
James is about to have a heart attack
That was a great quench by James. Well thought out.
Always wished they would show a close up of, at least some of, the weapons on forged in fire. Some of the swords look like they were crafted really nicely, some not as much, but it’s hard to determine that because they never, or very rarely, show a close up of any of the swords made for the show.
consider that historically, it took smiths weeks to make a sword, and longer if it was a showpiece. They don't do the close up because if they did, you'd see all the polish still left to go on it.
3:07 someone forgot to bleep that F bomb
I love the way he says "it'll kill." Like a kid with a new toy almost.
I was really hoping he would (even just attempt) stick the sword in and then slide it ALL the way down, so the pig is cut in half vertically- I'm sure the skull would stop it but it looked like it could come pretty close.
That was a picture of Robert the Bruce not William Wallace

Dang I'm old.
When you realize that movie is BS from start to finish.
Yep
@@Cloud_Seeker you must be english???
@@jimbob2629 Nope. I just know enough about William Wallace to know Braveheart is complete Hollywood fiction and it does not teach you anything about the real events.

Why did I even expect from the thumbnail that it would cut through the wood?😂😂😂
i thought for sure those swords were going to break .good job guys :)
Where’s the original guy who tells them how much money they win? And what they’re doing? 😒
I think this is from s8 and I think will had a kid or something so he is spending time with family iirc
Ikr just why?
Bruh why family before that
Fork in toaster he’s an ex ranger sure he’s missed enough
exactly
Its not even my work but I still held my breath on the strength test
These guys! Omg the strength 💪 of the blades so close
He acted so melancholy throughout and sad at the end but everything he said was so supporting of himself and confidence and even at the end he said I couldn’t be prouder of myself, BUT LOOKED SO SAD. I’m like I want to be that way whenever I lose and just find the good in it but why doesn’t his expression match his mood. I bet he has a great smile too.
James won with a sword taller than he is, short kings everywhere you can rejoice today
Spoiler why dude
Ok, that hurts a little but I’m ok with it
That awkward moment when a sword is taller than you...
I like the way he says it will kiiiilll
One made a Claymore, the other made a William Wallace sword
8:23 Doug had a mini stroke
*"It will keeeil..."*
Both made beautiful swords but the winner's was on another level of craftsmanship, that thing was perfect!
So great show
