This weapon like "celurit" from madura Indonesia
Make a keris from indonesia
In Indonesian like Clurit, tradional weapon from East Java, Madura Island.
Can you guys do a video on the making of the sword 🗡 of Ertugal and Osman Ghazi would be make your show hugely popular if you did so.
Finally. A brief history of the weapon just like in the show
Right!!
Older episode
Because they want you to watch the show, not the UA-cam video.
They tricked me with that, usually that means one of them breaks and they still want to pad it out to 10 minutes. Glad to see that and both blades making it through all the tests
I'm fairly sure they thoroughly read the top comments.
Doug as a doctor:
Doug: You have cancer of the bowel
Patient: Is it serious?
Doug: It will keeeel
Can you cut it out with a makrakar ?
I thought it would heeeeeeeel
Omg 😂😂
Underated
Why do I say that in an Eric cartman voice
Imagine getting killed by a question mark
it would definitely leave you puzzled
haha omg lol
ROFL 🤣🤣🤣
Akash Mukherjee huh
@@jakobwidh4851 rolling on floor with laughter ROFL
"this is a blade used to decapitate"
Keel test with headless dummy.
Man wtf
Yep, who does that? :(
Bro was hoping to see head roll 😓
Probably deemed to graphic and hence the watermelon :)
@ArtisanTony Have you seen any other episodes of the show? Decapitation wouldn’t be considered too violent, it’d actually be really cool.
@@tuckrex2038 I am talking from google's point of view lately. :) I personally would not have a problem with it.
If you try to rob Doug's house; in the darkness you will hear: I will keel
Can you guys keep adding the educational information for each weapon? It's a real nice treat to hear about their history.
I really loved how humble that blacksmith was towards the work of African smiths.
"they can do it in a 3rd world country and I can't do it with 70000 $ equipment 😂
Lol if you believe they made better blades you are insane
@@johnmick4980 why? iron forging has been a thing in africa since 2,500 BC, they knew what they were doing
@@prometheus705 no
@@johnmick4980 Here's a fact I think you'll find interesting. The Far East (East Asia and Southeast Asia) generally developed ironworking LATER than sub-Saharan Africa. Even China, the EARLIEST ironworking civilization in the Far East, reached its own Iron Age around 600 to 500 BC. By then, a good number of sub-Saharan African societies and civilizations had already developed ironworking as far back as 2000 BC.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Far East wouldn't reach its own Iron Age until centuries after China, and therefore centuries after sub-Saharan Africa. Societies like Japan, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, Indonesia, and the Philippines generally reached their Iron Age in the late 1st millennium BC or thereafter.
Also instances of carbon steel based on complex preheating principles were found to be in production around the 1st century AD in northwest Tanzania.
Doug: it's heavy
Me: nah you lost bro.
I had a great time doing this show. I highly recommend it if you get a chance to participate. I actually made three blades that week. One of 1095, one of 1075 and the final was 5160. I spent a little over 20 hours start to finish on the final blade. The quench oil I had was fine for little blades, just wasn't fast enough for a big 10xx series sword. The final weight was 2.41lbs or 1.09kg. The research I did showed it should weigh 2.5 lbs 1.13kg, so I was close. Craig's blade was very light and quick. It was sweet. I have no problems with the results of his win. My blade was not up to my normal fit and finish. I used up 11 days vacation and had great time. They paid for the flights and hotel and I got to take my blade home. No paychecks for runner up.
Paul, you did an amazing job. Congratulations!
@@robotospy Paul, you did a great Job, my issue with the show is that they ask participants to make weapons with no specs, and if both make it through all the test, then they will let one go because one weapon may be heavier than the other. This is crazy.
I have 2 questions for you, if you dont mind me asking.
1. Why do they take the defeateds weapon that hey made with their own materials?
2. How long between tests of the blade did you guys have to stand there?
@@GarlicBreadJesus They will give you enough material to build the project. You don't have to use it. I think I got 1095 and some G10. I used 5160 and micarta. Starting in season 4 the runner up gets to keep their blade they made. In the final, it pretty much took all day.
@@paulbrown9549 Hey Paul! Thank you for sharing your experience on Forged in Fire! I have a question for you if you don't mind my asking: Through the first two rounds, the show cuts to contestants speaking about their feelings "in that moment". Do they actually pull you aside to say what's going on, or are those interviews recorded after the action? I figure it has to be after, particularly during the timed section, so do they ask to act like you're back in that moment (of question)?
I hope that's not too confusing. Thank you
The level of sportsmanship and respect between competitors on this show is always so consistently high.
It’s really rewarding to see two people supporting and congratulating each other even when they are competing.
That evil little grin that appears on Doug's face when he says the blade will cut or kill
“First I’m gonna go for a Damascus blade” dude must not have watched the show before
If they pull it off, they tend to win though.
Yup, Damascus steel guys tend to win if they do it right
You never know. 😄Might have a surprise White Walker challenge.
Especially since pattern welded steel doesnt count as bloody damascus
@james belcher but still shows much more skill if you can do it in such a short amount of time
He probably got a few speeding tickets getting that quench oil
Both had difficulties and drawbacks. The fact that there are no catastrophic failures, it really shows how good these guys are
Those two encouraging each other literally the friendliest competition
>Good luck teammate
>We got this!
Sounds like friendship, not like tournament
Love the historical background introduction of the show. It is why it's called the "History Channel"!
Forging swords are hard. Forging a sword with extreme curvature and a number of parameters so unconventional is another kind of beast of a challenge!
What I wish they did was go over the specifications of the blade for the viewers. I've seen a few blades disqualified because of rules I didn't know about. It was a real letdown.
@@kralik394 Me, too. An explanations of all the specifications should be incredibly useful to the viewers not familiar with functional swords.
Unconventional to European experience. Bleeding out wasn't a priority for European weapons damage. In Africa bleeding out occurred faster due to expanded blood vessels and blood being closer to the skin.
@@hainleysimpson1507 Are you a regular viewer of the InfoWars?
Doug's psychopathic smile at 5:58 gets me every time. the joy he has when he finds a new toy lmao
you got me bro
Me: Watermelon test is silly, what CAN'T cut a watermelon ?
Test: FAILS CUTTING WATERMELON
Me: Amazing test, obviously weapon is trash
"They took no prisoners..."
*shows video of people being taken prisoner.
i'm pretty sure they not only took prisoners but sold them afterwards lol
@@Lthethird "oNlY wHiTe PeOpLe KePt SlAvEs"
@@greenapple9477 just trying to support black owned businesses and this is all the thanks we get
I like that one day, the strength test is "I'm gonna hit these rocks here with your blade 20 times", and others it is "I'm just gonna hit this thin piece of wood three times and call it a day".
Sometimes they hammer it into a steel nail, sometimes they like "will it die to clay"
Ice block chop by J is the most extreme strength test.
Your blade survived falling from orbit, but will it be able to cut this balloon
That’s because every blade is different. Some blades are stronger than others, and so they need different tests
Sjoed14 06 true curved swords are better at cutting/slashing things where as straight sword are very good for stabbing.
I've watched enough forged in fire that I instantly was worried for the contestants when I saw how curvy the blade was lol
When my friend is white : "That's ma kraka"
When my friend is black: "That's my bike"
6:35
Virtual Martini wtf 😂
Gabriel Afonso I'm pretty sure they were joking, you are too, right?
Virtual Martini bruh 😂😂😂
the most important thing "it will kill >:D" I always giggle when he does that
I’m loving these titles lol
The Makraka sword OBLITERATES the competition with FACTS and LOGIC!
How much damascus steel you want?
Everyone: Yes!
I like the way Doug say, " it will keel"
White Friends: "Sup Bro?"
Black Friends: " Sup Makraka"
Its 1 a.m. and I laughed WAY too hard at this. Thank you
@@GLF426 im glad you enjoyed it as much as me 😂
🤣🤣 took me a minute to get this.
Lessons Forged in Fire teaches:
- Never use ebony
- Lightness is king
- When in doubt, Leaf Steel
"It's a sickle shape sword."
Yeah...sickle.
When a judge says "It's heavy", you're going to lose
I like these two already. Heading out of the forge "good luck to you" - "we got this, man." That's why I love forged and fire. Not qualitatively the best smithing show but haven't seen a contender who wasn't a great sportsman
It would be amazing to see international participants on this show.
What a smile.. while saying it will kheel..😂😂🤣
it’s a good change ! Giving the brief of the weapons. ❤️
Them: I'm gonna make a damascus ----
Days later:
🤪🙄😬😶
I love the essence of what makes these African swords, they're so different.
please keep doing them with the short history of the weapon
That little history show was really fitting for such a show I hope they do the other episodes similarly like this one 🙂👍
“Had to get the oil from Springfeel!” Think you can handle that😂
0:45 Am I crazy for seeing a phallus on that thing? Do I need help?
I think that was intentional. Looks like it has a head AND balls
@Spark Zuckerbum 0:45 there you go 🤣😂
It was done intentionally
Love the little quick history check in the beginning!! That’s what I’ve been wanting for every episode
"Overall, your Makraka will 'kkiiellll'!"😁
Contestant: I'm gonna use Damascus
Me: *sighs* shock
The way Doug says "It will keel" looks so sinister.
Watching you From Sudan 🇸🇩 zande tribe are living in South Sudan ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹 love you guy's
the moment he said one blade was waaay lighter than the other....i knew the winner
Every single other contestant: uses a file to check heat treat
This guy: "aw shucks I'll just hit something with it!"
Came here for my daily dose of "IT WILL KEEL"
I don't remember a heavier blade ever winning? Always go light and you have an edge 👍🇬🇧
imagine if the winner gets to eliminate the loser with the weapon they made
That was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship
Me when i see a weirdly curved blade: lemme guess, africa
You see those warriors from hammerfell? They've got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
And sabres are... Curved swords
Double points if it somehow manages to be more phallic than swords in general
Finally , a durability test that makes sense
Don't be discouraged Paul, at your age it's okay if things sometimes don't get hard
Dude that's dope 🤣
Especially the way those blades are designed. You can’t tell me that was an accodent
Should've let those blacksmiths fight each other with their blade to know who is the best.
in our place it's called sang-got, we use it to lampas or clean the tall grasses and unwanted plants or weeds in the yard.
Did anyone else see how the 2nd guy when Doug hit the melon he hit it wayyy lighter then he did with the 1st guy?
about the 1st guy's sword he did say it is one of the lightest he has ever picked up, while the 2nd guy's sword is mentioned to be heavy.
@@madmilk2753 True but the weight different couldn't have been that much different right?
Xander Poulin I mean I don’t doubt either of us have sword experience, so rather than say you are wrong I think it’s safe to say you can’t understand the difference unless you wield a sword.
@@vitolucchese4768 I've wielded many a sword but you are right haha unless I swing it myself I couldn't know, good day sir :D
can never go wrong with leaf spring. its the best steel ever made in human history.
It looked like he barely even tried to swing on Paul's horizontal watermelon cut lol then criticized him 😆
I thought the same thing, he got robbed there. The sword was heavier apparently so probably it is harder to side cut. But he shouldn't loose points because the guy testing it isn't very strong and can't swing the blade with adequate force. Easily would of cut that watermelon. Maybe it was not the deciding factor after all though.
to put it in other words, the tester/judge's just trash at testing and don't even know how to swing properly, I've seen him swing swords improperly and always hitting the side not the sharp edge.
Doesn't matter, he was already out because his piece was heavier than the other. Even if it did cut nicely they would have kicked him out just for that.
Great episode, cheers from Poland.
"your blade is on the heavy side"
ggwp
He should have quenched in mammal blood. That's the secret most dont know about. Shhhhh.
I love the way he say.."it will kill"😈😈😈
"It will keel you and peel your skin"
4:05 You right about that. LOL!
I love Forged In Fire!!!
6:30 - Well, thanks for coming out, Paul. You may now leave the forge.
Congrats to Marc Maron on winning Forged in Fire!
I as many others would like to see a Kaskara sword competition
The Kaskara is just a basic long sword. Kinda boring imo.
@@damnitstroubleman i think you don even bother to learn about the history and how are those swords are made you don't know what im talking about ....
@@nickronin9618 You're talking about the Sudanese long sword, right? I know what a Kaskara is...
It's a cool weapon, sure, but I think Africa has more interesting and unique weapons to showcase. The Kaskara is just a normal long sword, and everyone's already seen those a billion times over.
1:54
"If this doesn't go the way I planned it, it's garbage"
13-year-olds in the comment living in a 600k house: "the story of my life"
that was the weakest strength test ever
Here I thought the sharpness test that was weak. Cutting a watermelon?
It's pretty much the same test that broke the guy's first sword, so...
@@mfree80286 shhhhh...don't tell them, they are pretending to be smart 🤣😂🤣😂
These types of weapon is used here for reaping paddy. Just a bit short
Love how craig, whose blade took a little over a single day to make, won
"So for today's strength test, we're going to fire an RPG at your weapon."
*one explosion later*
"Well Joe Schmoe, your blade has acquired a slight roll on the edge despite surviving an RPG blast, so now we're all going to judge you when it fails in the sharpness test."
Feel like he didnt use as much force with the second guys weapon because there weapons were so identicle and they had to make one of the guys lose
Nah. It's logical due to the 2nd blade being heavy it didn’t cut the horizontal melon that easily. And the 1st blade felt sharper the all three of the rounds.
Dude made it in what, 2 days? Wow!
Heat treated and tested?! Wtf?! Heard of tempering?!?!
Paul looks like the evil senator from the first Xmen movie.haha
Imagine losing to someone who doesn’t check his sword before the usage of it...
4:26 When you get home to the wife that works from home
If both swords make it to the end of the competition, the two blade smiths should battle it out to the death with their blades.
These 2 are my New Fav Competitors ! So down to earth. They just want to live and let live and enjoy their skills and lives.
Almost every episode "so, for this blade, I decided to go with a Damascus style"
Damascus is overused and outdated, and it's not even the hysterical way to make Damascus considering the way is lost.
Damascus is no long unique and cool, every time I see a sword with the description "Damascus steel" I don't want it
When that blade broke all I could think was temper your steel
These guys are both beasts
guy makes blade in little over 24 hours and wins the competition xD
Greg, paul. LOL
The sword looks like one long pines
This vertical slice was dangerous...
I love that guy question him self after he kinda hesitate said the name
Does anyone else love they way he said “ it will kill”
Shaking hands.. "we got this"
Nooo.. only one of you "got this"
The most anxiety I experience in any given week is when I watch the Strength Tests in super slow motion.
Great, the first forger starts with a Damascus build always a winning strategy.
3:54 well quenched and hardened... it broke into million pieces
2:23 we ignoring that massive flex.
1 sec into the video and I hear "Greg Paul" .. I thought he was talking about Logan's dad😂😂
0:17 He says, "The makraka."
Then the dude's face says, "The whaaaat?"
All that work throughout the competition for just $10K? I make that in my sleep.
