      Billhook is a iconic weapon in southern part of India. It used in fighting, agriculture, to cut trees and so on. I would love to see Indian (southern part) billhook(thirupachi aruva=. திருப்பாச்சி அருவா) in this show. It is a weapon used by marudhu brothers to fight against British during the period of British India.

      "Ray your blade is perfectly accurate to the blades they used back then. It's sharp enough to not only decapitate but cut through a pig like water. It's a tough steel that barely had any damage at all and even with that damage it was still sharper than Josh's. However Josh had the cooler looking blade so he wins."

      Remember the crusader sword episode, where the runner up Brian had an excellently crafted blade with better balance but with dull spots , but the winner Dave had made one of the sharpest swords on the show and he actually took a singular deep roll , Ray's didn't, it was a shiny spot , and unlike Dave's crusader sword this sword was very well balanced and ,as good a cutter

    Josh's blade seems like heavy and more of a two-handed weapon while Ray's panabas is closer to the real deal. Remember that this blade is also used in agriculture and cutting thru dense tropical forests even. A guy or a warrior wielding Josh's blade wouldn't last long before he will be exhausted. Ray's panabas on the other hand looks swift and deadly!

    The Panabas, like most traditional weapons of Philippine ethnicities, only became weapons when the need arises. The Panabas was named after the way it was supposed to be used: the root word "tabas" only varied slightly in meaning across Luzon, but rural communities used the Panabas to clear a heavily vegetated area, or in sugarcane farming, to easily and cleanly cut sugarcanes during the harvest. After all, "tabas" itself means cut cleanly as if shaping or designing something.

      @Nick Crawford I genuinely wonder if the judges review the forging footage we see before testing, and if there are something like Hidden points/penalties based on the contestants behavior..
      So for instance, assuming both blades performed equally well in all tests, and assuming they were both of equal appearance..
      Hypothetical: Contestant 1 had a catastrophic blade failure day 3 and was forced to remake from scratch with only 2 days instead of 5.
      Contestant 2 made everything perfectly on their first try, finished on day 2, and rather than refining/improving the design, they did no improvements over their two days of free time while their opponent were working hard.
      At this point, technically both smith's have put the same 2 days of effort into their final product.
      All else being equal, would the rushed 2 day project be held in higher regard for what they accomplished in the limited time?
      Or could it be penalized for the first attempts failure?
      Both are valid judgement criteria if used, I just wonder the weight each is given, if any.
