    Season 2 strength test = We're going to cut through some vines. Season 6 strength test = We're going to detonate a nuclear warhead on your blade. You suffered some edge rolling on the warhead test, which indicates a problem with your heat treat, for this reason, you cannot be the forged in fire champion.

    A lot of people are saying Burt's blade wasn't historically accurate, which isn't true. He could have curved the blade a bit more, but this type of sword has potentially been used by a number of different cultures from around the fifth century BCE, so there has been a LOT of variation in terms of design. His blade actually resembles a lot of older historical examples from the early middle ages.

      A blacksmith is the middle man between a warrior and a blade. The final artefact must help the warrior to accomplish is goal in the battlefield. So if you are testing a Smith you need to consider in your testing the warrior, the blade and the enemy.

    Burts blade looks more like a weed slasher/brush knife than a sickle. I have restored and repurposed many of both in all different shapes and sizes for fun in between working on axes and hatches. I must say though if I had to pick one to use myself it would be Burts, much easier to use and fight with that less pronounced curve and way easier to sharpen. I can't tell you how many times my hands and fingers have fallen victim to the bite of a sickle while doing the final polishing, definitely way more than knives or axes despite working with them much less often.

    • @dramalexi
      @dramalexi Před 2 lety

      Right. The less curved Shotel has more reach und would be more practical to stab behind a shield or cut the backside of a knee.
      The more curved one would be better to pull a shield but still it's not that easy if your opponent anticipates that very move.

    I think I’d have made the same choice for winner but those blades were nearly equal! I more accurate swing from Doug and I think the other guy would’ve passed through that meat as well

    Good battle, if Chad's cut was equall in the final test I think he would have won this 1

      I can´t imagine how hard it would be for a person to make 10/20 knives weekly, if they are all the same design and not really with a weird shape.
