It's always amusing to see the home forges of the final round and it's one guy with nothing but old hammers, a coal forge that's just a hole in the ground, and a quench tank made out of an old trash can VS a guy with a 2000 sq ft building with air conditioning, every power tool you can think of, including Big Blue, and a full on plasma cutter.
@One God One Christ I believe the company itself made a joke advertising of the fact that digging isn’t the main purpose of that tool. I’d still love to have one to have fun with and to be honest to dig a small trench around your tent/ camp or clean up sticks on branches why not. But it’s very flat so you won’t dig as fast as others but you will be able to defend yourself against a zombie attack.... given that a shovel is your primary choice of course..
Does anybody else feel that Mike had a advantage from being able to work at a commercial machine shop? There is no way the forge he worked in was a at home forge just seems unfair to me.
@@ajitkaliya Give a painter a paintbrush and an old piece of chalk, see which one he does better work with. Tools don’t make the man, but pretending they have no effect on the end product is naive
The funniest thing is - in Russia these Spetsnaz shovels are made of the simpliest steel for stamping! So they are not Forged in Fire))) and these are not Spetsnaz (or SWAT) shovels, but trench or sapper shovels
Can i just say that once again, they didnt test a weapon for its true purpose. Digging a trench/dug out. The blade that one seems to have a much less suited profile for it. Might still have won but staying true to design intent is as important as lethality and structure integrity.
It's the poormans power hammer!!! Not bad for being almost free, when the real deal costs probably an arm and a leg and maybe a couple of arms and legs more... lol
@@greekveteran2715 i promise you it does no more than tap anything, it looks like a project he never uses that production saw in a corner and said hey show us that thing
Imagine being an SS soldier walking through a forest in Russia and getting ambushed out of nowhere by a burly Russian soldier with a pair of deadly shovels shouting "Die, Western spy!!!" in their native language...
Those shovelheads are relatively good, but there is a general design flaw both of the contestants had on the handle. You need to make a nice curved bulb at the end of the handle for improved grip and easier throwing. Normally these shovels have a round shovelhead but these are also fine because they are easier to stick into a target. Good job contestants! (Forged in Fire should have done a gravel digging test too on these. The wood test doesn't really show the true strength of the edge needed.)
Was not a special forces shovel but used by all forces. Cold Steel company added "spetznaz" to their product for marketing reasons. With that said, great weapon.
This is one of the closest ones I’ve seen in a while but nonetheless you can tell who’s gonna win. I like to guess who will win after they finish the weapons but before any testing. I used to do blacksmithing work and today I do woodworking so I can usually gauge what looks good and it’s usually pretty easy based on that alone.
I would love to see a finale where they shall make a Kwan Dao/Guandao - its an interesting weapon from China and i would love to see how it will go in the tests.
I’m always surprised to watch this show and see people do the same things that have been critiqued harshly by the judges in the past. They don’t like round handles.
You use a spade (with a fairly straight/flat blade) for cutting into the soil, and a shovel (curved/scooped blade) for shifting soil/sand from one place to another. If you want these to work as edged weapons and also as spades/shovels, then the round handle is necessary. If the handle was oval and optimised for hand to hand fighting (which you only do occasionally) then it would be the wrong shape for digging (which you probably do a lot more often).
Best tool-weapon hybrid. Perfectly legal just about anywhere. No cop would bat an eye, even if one was so inclined to keep it in a vehicle or even carry it down a city street, especially in the suburbs.
I do have one of these shovels and I only sharpened one side of it. I have it stores on my ruck pack and it is by far one of the most useful things I have other than my cigarettes 😂
An MPL-50 is an entrenching tool, it also digs a grave and it can put you in a grave. You can also use it to cut the wood and make planks to construct a coffin, which they can sit in and row across a river to a grave site. Then they can cook a farewell meal on it and serve it, all with one tool... can't do any of that with a swiss army knife.

How ur comment 1 day ago?
@@lukavukmanovic5045 They own the channel. They can comment before it is released to the general public.
@@maxlutz3674 yeh thats what i was thinking about
Make urumi sward episode
🙏👍
Love the fact that everyone is some what respectful to each other. Makes the show a lot better
I´d kind of expect that from people making weapons. It still is a great thing.
Amen to that brother
Facts bruh. We need more people like that in the world. The rest is just toxicity and disrespect just cause they are salty from losing🙄😂
And then you have ink master🤣
The fairest show i ever seen
Congratulations Mike, Proud Wife here 💜
Congrats
what did he get u with the 10k
Spoiler alert!
@@arjun8836 yes
I'm curious, what did he do with the 10k? XD
We need some tools to dig, and some combat weapons.
Russians: YES.
Привет, из России*)
@@beargrylls8606 Я подумал ，что американцы навсегда только знают шутить!!!!!!
Spades were quite common weapons in WWI trench warfare
The Japanese also had a digging/combat tool! It seems like a very effective tool/weapon combo with many interesting variations.
@@GraceWhip That's ninja ok?

Wish they had a dig test...
Doug: it will deeg ⚔️⚡
They should’ve dug a trench as one of the tests
And they would have appreciated the fact that the handle was round and give them less blisters.

@One God One Christ Foxhole challenge!
Exactly I agree, cause the guy that lost hes looked more like shovels the real thing. I disagree on who won.
O thought so to
Shovels. Absolutely brutal against sandmen. Who would've thought?
0:22 That face of confusion... 😂😂😂 “Wait, I have to make dual wielding shovels?”
They didn't even do a digging test on shovels? That's ridiculous
Lmao
Your shovels, will deeeeeeeg
I’m a simple man. I see a Forged in Fire upload and I click on it.
With ya
Cameron looks like he can’t believe how deadly that shovel is
I personally met Cameron at a summer camp he was my counselor
the dude was so hyped when seeing what his shovels did to the the logs in the strength test
“Two iconic weapons from Russia”
Me: hammer and sickle?
ak and makarov
Oh my god, that "blood" streak across the face is just PERFECT
Great job to both smiths, but might I point out that it’s always a pleasure to watch Dave throw these shovels or any throwing weapon in that matter.
cameron don't wanna win, he just want to entertain himself. he is so interested all test
There's nothing wrong with being in it for the sake of enjoying the challenge.
At this point, he's showing how far he can go. By improving himself
They are fighting a country only using shovels hypersonic shovels explosive shovels and shootable shovels 😊

Tools doesn't make you an artist. Your creativity and hard work does.
@@ajitkaliya your right it doesn't but having a wider variety of tools as well as more advanced tools can make things much easier.

@@mikesiegel276 Well, it's the forge he works with outside the show.
@@marhawkman303 true but that doesn't change what I said he has an unfair advantage because of having access to that commercial shop.
The "all purpose combat shovel" is maybe the most Soviet thing I've ever heard in my life 😂

Сопатка Лаперная!!! Кто еще из русскоговорящих посмотрел?? Огонь!!
Если быть точнее это МПЛ -50(малая пехотная лопата)
Не ожидал у них увидеть спецнац лопатку😆😆😆

not bad except that it doesnt at all work lmao

It was a 3 hour quick build that i made in one night before filming and i realized how much of a waste of time it was the second i used it
We called it sapyorka, n use it in regular army, not only spetsnaz (elite forces)
I’m pretty sure most WW2 era armies used something similar also
@@Acrophobia2 sad WW1 noise
This really dug deep and got a slice of history from it.
This is the rare case when you know the weapon won't fail no matter what they put it through.
Cameron should've gotten bonus points for his truly being hand made
Imagine being an SS soldier walking through a forest in Russia and getting ambushed out of nowhere by a burly Russian soldier with a pair of deadly shovels shouting "Die, Western spy!!!" in their native language...
I mean a soviet cook held off and captured a panzer tank with just an axe during ww2.
@@oldmate3152 he used an axe, a tarp and his quick wits to fool the tank crew into thinking that there were more men

Yes 😍😂❤️

I'm so proud of Cameron. That's my friend rt😭.
Yeahh I love flying shovel drones to destroy leopard 2
Honestly at the end I like to see the poor guys forge win
Тот который проиграл сделал лопату , а который выйграл оружие. Не справедливо. Они должны были на тесте копать , а не песочного человека лупить.
По факту, это копательное орудие, но упор на убойную мощь
They couldn't dig the idea of that
Huge difference in workshop equipment
I’m just here to hear: “ It will keeel”
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was not a special forces shovel but used by all forces.
Cold Steel company added "spetznaz" to their product for marketing reasons.
With that said, great weapon.
As soon as I saw how clean those shovels were I knew he was going to win
I have one for camping. Good for digging and wood cutting. I love it
That shovel is definitely in my top3 outdoor tools
I'd say easily the best outdoor tool indeed
It’s asmr to my ears
YOUR SHOVELS WILL KEEL!
Cold Steel makes am amazing special forces shovel. Best $35 you can spend on a shovel
That's true
Im here for my " it will keeel " daily dose ! 😁
The good old fashioned shovel, one of those tools that humans have used for generations and is still useful
*Life of Boris has entered the chat*
@@Cat-fy5lw stick to the subject
I mean that channel here called Life of Boris. He should use one of these in his cooking videos.
I once participated in the axe throwing competition. The axe hit the ceiling and bounced back at me. I lost my ear.
😁
Chopping tree branch with axe ended with 3 stitches to my upper lip. Silly jabbering kid next to me distracting my original goal.
They should test it in digging
The Rusians test it in killing... lol
@@greekveteran2715 sadly it’s true but still they mention that there is several use for it.
Wait, are we not gonna acknowledge the nastiest metal breakdown on earth at 6:10???? WHAT
It went from 😐 to 😂 in 5 seconds.
Only russia could make a shovel something that's actually scary.
Yes it's scary that russia is the only country that can make shovels.
@@lompehvelen5293 and Hypersonic Missiles.
I’m pretty sure the Americans did it too

You all entirely missed the joke if the comment 🤦
Noticed at 10:05 the handle look dismounted from the shovel ... The winner really isn't the winner after all..
Yes. I noticed that too.
Mike did well with those rehandled Cold Steel Spetsnaz .
Doug is actually a very dangerous man 😳
yea, dude's all fun and smiley, until he starts kealing and cutting, dangerous man indeed
@@OchitosBuritos he keeps smiling while kealing and cutting, that scares
Yeah mike! You better buy her something really nice.
Legend says that there is that one guy running with the shovels.
А почему обычная малая пехотная лопата (саперная лопата) после заточки стала "SPETSNAZ"?

Doug has the best job ever
Everyone rolls their eyes at a shovel being used as a weapon...
... until they get hit with it.
More so if with a sharpened edge.
Or if someone’s rocket jumping at them
стройбат сила . )))
I would love to see a finale where they shall make a Kwan Dao/Guandao - its an interesting weapon from China and i would love to see how it will go in the tests.

Dude preemptively blames his GF for his failures. You deserved to lose!
Doug is lot more enthusiastic in this episode.
They didn't even do a dig test? I feel cheated
“It will keal” :))
You use a spade (with a fairly straight/flat blade) for cutting into the soil, and a shovel (curved/scooped blade) for shifting soil/sand from one place to another.

In the next episode, forging France's best weapon, an iron pole to attach a white flag onto
Shovels eh? I can dig it.
These shovels cut better than some of the blades in this show 😆
its easy to make very sharp shovels but they usually don't survive many uses.
" It will huuuurt"
Multitasking tool.
1:15 pretty sure using that hummer while holding it will be more effective
Was... Was that a The Warriors reference?
No one can replace will willis♥️
They are cold steel Spetsnazs!
Will I still miss you 😢 😢😢
Looks like they are running out of weapons to make
Anything is a weapon if you’re willing.
Cant wait until the make the pencil from John Wick.

The tools and machine defines quality and who will win , I new that guy will win accordingly ...
Magic shovels! They Keal and the Klean

Can you dig it 😄
And that smile
Surprised marcaida neglected the under-the-chin shovel thrust
I wish they'd make a rezkoy, the Spetsnaz utility machete
It will keel😆
Of course Dave Baker knows how to throw a shovel like a tomahawk. Why wouldn't he? Lol
