They also said in the intro to the finals, this heavy blade. I got nervous when they said heavy side. But when Mr. Doug said hand fit great and the blade was quite balanced, it gave me hope. Plus, the guard going up, seemed to block part of the blade and less function, while the other guard did its job and wasn't to the point of impeding the main function
@@rekaadang The contestants are standing shoulder to shoulder, and they just showed how much damage either of the blades could do. Unless the judges have teleportation skills they haven't mentioned, they're not stopping anything in time. That said: I very much doubt we'll ever see an enraged contestant try to put his weapon to use.
No ones talking about how sharp those blades are,DID YOU SEE THOSE THINGS CUT THROUGH BONE LIKE IT WAS NOTHING,IT CUT THROUGH A SPINE EASILY AND BROKE LIKE 2 POUNDS OF ICE OF OF A BLOCK
“Dan, you would’ve won, but you’re wearing a sweater vest, so you do NOT have what it takes to be Forged in Fire Champion, please surrender your weapon”
Yes, I was thinking about how a noble although might be versed in sword play would not have the athleticism to wield a blade that was heavy, but would be able to kill or lethally harm anyone at close range so speed was the limiting factor. Historically noblemen have had access to better blacksmiths and steel which leads me to believe the blade would have been light weight. Comming to my point is I believe a sharper lighter blade with less toughness, or better yet less strength be that metal fatigue or creep weakness. They not should have made lighter and thinner blades but apart from that they both deserved to win as there are merits in both blades. I would choose the handle of the winner with the blade if the looser.
I like the balance and weight of Doug's blade but the handle and lesser force were major drawbacks. If Neil could get more and deeper grooves with his to reduce the weight, it would've been much better.
I don’t agree with you, that blade was made for non military personnel and weight plays a huge factor. This is the only time that I’ve seen so far that the judges voted for the heavier sword. I don’t understand at all
@@binaryruffian7538 Because outside of being heavier Neil's weapon was balanced better, had a better grip, and was all-around more comfortable to wield. Plus it looks a lot nicer imo. What's not to understand?
@@ChicknSandwich If you win at that game you mentioned does it make your business famous? These guys are bladesmiths duh. The show is a way for them to be famous to attract customers into buying their work.
@Mirai*Santos though it was heavier, his handle didn't allow the sword to slide and turn in one's hand. Imagine using it in actual combat and the sword just keeps slipping in your hand, it won't be good, that's why the heavier sword won.
Exactly, both blades were done well but the hilt, handle and pommel/counter balance were clearly superior. That's the difference between having a blade and having a sword. The only reason lighter blades usually win is because they're easier to balance and don't require the grip to be overly refined for control. A properly balanced heavy blade with a comfortable grip has no issues in feel or control and can add more cutting power and even functionality depending on the purpose/intent of the weapon. The best weapon smith's know the blade is only half of the weapon.
Anthony Rodriguez origins was the last one that truly felt like a full assassins creed game, even tho the control scheme was different. Honestly if u ever have the chance to play I highly recommend it, the story is beautiful
9:32 "gentleman you both done fantastic work but in this arena of competition there can only be one. you two will have to battle to the death using your own swords, good luck" 🤣
Fun Facts: 1. The Cinquedea starred in a different episode, during which a contestant lost because the blade was too heavy for not placing enough fullers. 2. Neil has had problems with his blade being too heavy in a different episode. 3. A heavier blade may lose on its weight alone but it often loses due other associated issues like bad weight distribution or a duller edge. 4. A heavier blade has won before when the opponent's blade broke. 5. A heavier blade has won before when the handle was also too uncomfortable.
I love how every single time a person loses a competition on this show they are like he made a better blade than me and he deserved to win like noone is mad at all
9:26 You can tell Neil is a fan of the show by how gloom he looked at the final verdict after they told him is weapon was heavier. Poor man really thought he was going home with his hands empty.
ChickenSnitchzel it would still be terribly flimsy, due to the blade not being structurally secured well to anything. It would also have no point as you can easily hide a small blade in your sleeves.
Something about this show is strangely wholesome. Its just a bunch of skilled guys who enjoy a craft taking the time to deliver high-quality products. And there's no drama and no filler, it's just good, clean destruction and craftmanship
These contestants were really cool and charismatic. I think they both did very well but in the end it just came down to how sharp and durable the blade was. Both of these blades are pretty awesome
That’s taken from the philosopher that said “if god is not real then everything is permitted”, but it’s wrong, the right way to say it would be if god is not real then nothing is permitted.
When they mentioned an Assassin's Creed sword in the title i thought they were gonna make Altair's sword. But they instead made the best dagger in AC2.
Neil's my favorite one ever on here. If I had the money I'd get him to forge me something awesome just to hang out with the guy, seems like an all around cool guy. 👍
@@filwilliamson9149 It was used in the 15th and 16th century, which is the 1400s and 1500s. By the end of the 1500s it wasn't popular anymore. AC2 takes place in the late 1400s.
One of the rare occasions where the heavier weapon won when they both passed all the tests. The other guy's handle much have been bad enough that they considered the heavy one easier to control.
Props to Dan for being supportive of his opponent the entire time throughout the tests, he seemed genuinely thrilled to just get to see the weapons being used.
I have to say, this is how judges are supposed to be. Nothing but constructive criticism, plenty of compliments, and they never insult or belittle any of the contestants. Bravo!
I believe Neal won for only two reasons. 1. His blade fit better in the judges hands. 2. His blade is more aesthetically pleasing. More so than Dan's blade.
he won because even tho his sword is heavy, you still can wield it properly. The other sword may be lighter, but what does it get to you if you can't wield it because of the crappy handle
@@petert3355 Yep, though an equally important word is "balanced". Even a blade with a higher total weight can be easier to use if the weight is balanced better. The two words that are usually a death knell when put together are "forward heavy". There have been swords that have been disqualified on that alone, as in Doug picks up the sword and just says "nope, not even swinging that".
This is really interesting. Here you have two very good blades in their own merits-the kinda of thing that would, for a customer, come down to personal preference. A lighter blade that is easier to swing around, or a heavier blade that can deliver more power? Well done.

This has to be the first time the heavier blade won
It was because the other guy's handle structure was more impractical in wielding than the extra weight was
Yahh it is
Not exactly. Usually the weight is an extremis cause of loss when blades are equal. In this case, the handle of the losing one wasn't very well fit
They also said in the intro to the finals, this heavy blade. I got nervous when they said heavy side. But when Mr. Doug said hand fit great and the blade was quite balanced, it gave me hope.

2. Neil has had problems with his blade being too heavy in a different episode.
3. A heavier blade may lose on its weight alone but it often loses due other associated issues like bad weight distribution or a duller edge.
4. A heavier blade has won before when the opponent's blade broke.
5. A heavier blade has won before when the handle was also too uncomfortable.
In this case I believe it lost due to difficulty with edge orientation and the shape of the grip overall.
They also included it in an episode of Beat the Judges.
It was kinda sad seeing that dude's sword was just a bit short from the requirements when his sword passed the weight limit.
U can go heavy if the weapon is short
Neil won because his handle was better shaped and more functional, his blade was heavy, but the good weight distribution made it not detrimental

4:55 mans gonna belly flop
he won because even tho his sword is heavy, you still can wield it properly.
The other sword may be lighter, but what does it get to you if you can't wield it because of the crappy handle
He also won because it was sharper. You can see that the straps didn’t fray at all
Usually the "Heavy" word is the word of death in this comp. I don't think I've ever seen a blade win where that word is used.
@Craig if their hands are small then are you indirectly telling me that I have baby hands...
Peter T especially the signature of this sword is the fullers and the purpose of them are lighten the sword. Otherwise it is just a wide-blade sword
@@petert3355 Yep, though an equally important word is "balanced". Even a blade with a higher total weight can be easier to use if the weight is balanced better. The two words that are usually a death knell when put together are "forward heavy". There have been swords that have been disqualified on that alone, as in Doug picks up the sword and just says "nope, not even swinging that".
“I literally do everything but I rarely measure anything” a true art process right there
I love how he says kill. "Your weapon will keel"
I watch this show for the pig carcases. It's like bacon heaven.
I love this show. It’s like the Great British Bake Off but with knives and swords.

Heartly congratulations. Hands of for your dedication ♥️.
The loser is like “that prize money was supposed to pay for my trip!”
No one is loser here
At least he didn't have to travel from Hawaii
The show pays for travel
Forged in Fire invites blacksmiths to showcase their skills. It also promotes their shops too.

This is really interesting. Here you have two very good blades in their own merits-the kinda of thing that would, for a customer, come down to personal preference. A lighter blade that is easier to swing around, or a heavier blade that can deliver more power?
Well done.
I can’t believe I’m good friends with his song that’s so cool
