"He outperformed me, and that's ok! I can be outdone." wow kid, you don't realize how many people older than you still haven't accepted and realized this statement, you are already winning, keep it up!
@@YinNegative I think it would make more sense to say that it's similar to guns, a gun is meant as a projectile weapon, not to beat someone over the head. Yes it CAN, but that's not what it's meant for.
Historical swords of that period were used to pierce chain mail and bash in skulls or helmets had to be sharp but bot too sharp as you'll lose your edge
Invite the kid back in a couple years. He seems like the type to learn from mistakes. Bet he'll be a top contender with some more experience under his belt.
Seriously, if he keeps up with it then in 5 years that kid will be unreal. He recognised the issues with the heat treat but probably due to time constraints took a couple of gambles that didn't pay off. Next time I hope he thinks to anneal the blade to reset the metal and work on the heat treats again.
@@YvesCFC even now, it's still used as a symbol of respect, victory, for rituals, blessing, a status symbol, and a weapon though not as common back in the days. Because it is really expensive.
Scott's broadsword literally shimmered in the light. That's a stunning visual! Not to mention that it hardly took any damage. Excellent forging, I'd have to say.
"I'm ecstatic to see Doug playing with my sword, because it's exciting to see what it can do to the human body - what it's built for." That word choice... Gods, I'm cracking up here!
Scott's sword was amazing and the damascus was incredible. Making that sword at 18 is amazing as well. He's gonna make some amazing pieces over the years.
This test is significant because historically, when medieval knights were attacked, it was usually by battering rams constructed of CCA pressure treated fence post. If their swords hadn't held up during these encounters it meant almost certain death for our honorable knights.
I always love how humble most of the competitors are, despite obvios talent they are always curtious to eachother even after a win or loss. Just wholesomness all around.
Kid has so much heart! I hope he will continue to learn from this experience. It’s awesome that he was able to beat out the other people in the early stages.
Amazing attitude on Colton's part. This is class. No victim, no excuses, will learn from this for sure - because of his outlook. This is the kind of people the world needs. For his first sword also, he did amazing.
I love broad swords. Both pieces were beautiful works of art and deadly tools. That 18yo kid has a great future with his skill level and his humble optimistic maturity with openness to learning.
The attitude of every runner up walking out of the forge is inspiring. Every other Tv competition show you see these people crying and whining about how they thought they got dissed. Definitely my favorite competition show to ever air.
That young man was only 18 at the time, had never forged a sword before and made it to the third round of smiting competition; Will was correct when he said "The world is yours". I hope he comes back on the show in a few years to show how much he's grown.
These two are good people, passionate smiths. Well fought Colton, better luck next time! You did great, sure you will be making a sword or two in the future.
Winner made a great blade. Young guy props to him for even being there and making something like that with his own hands, hopefully he will compete again
You can see that the blade was not evenly heated at 1:11 (colder above tang and below tip). @Brisk XD If you mean the first skull smash, he hit that correctly, but the blade was not able to penetrate inside the skull and slid along it.
Gotta say, I really liked the way the older guy's sword turned out. The "patterns" on the blade were very nice to look at. And I like how this show gives you some idea as to how much work goes into forging something.
Truly impressive making swords like that at 18. He can only learn and grow from here on out. I could barely sharpen a pencil never mind making a whole sword lol
This guy is making friggin amazing swords at 18. And he’s mature enough to accept defeat and chalk it up to a good learning experience. At 18 I was still debating if I should go to class or sleep in longer.
To be fair, the Arthurian legend is probably one of the most well-known world-wide, and anyone with an interest in Medieval times and Knights would likewise have an interest in the legend, and most of all the legendary sword from that very same legend.
The best part about this series is when you've seen enough heat treats to know when a person hasn't heated their blade properly before they quench and you just know something will be wrong with it.
"Broadsword?" "Are those...what are those helmets?!"... the "is-it-historically-accurate" nitpicker in me can't cope with this unholy combination of actual history and d&d-inspired fantasy.

"Im excited to see Doug playing with my sword" nice word choice buddy
Make a sword for your next video
IKR the moment he said it is I was like bruh poor choose of words there
Didn't expect to see you here
You did a thing, wish you would do my thing instead
Only out of context
"He outperformed me, and that's ok! I can be outdone." wow kid, you don't realize how many people older than you still haven't accepted and realized this statement, you are already winning, keep it up!
I'm so happy that they allowed a boy with downs on the show it really warmed my heart
Actually, he lost. In case it wasn't clear.
BeardedDanishViking you can’t deny that he is skilled though all he needs is practice
BeardedDanishViking
But, that doesn’t mean he is a loser.
He just need a lot of practice and training.
Btw.
What is that PFP?
Looks familiar.
@Beauty Queen what does that have to do with anything? Lmao
"I made this blade for slicing, not chopping trees down".
For some reason, i laughed to what he said.
But in the other hand it's make sense
Like in guns there is a pistols and there is a rifles

Well what’s going to break the blade if not the strength test?
@@MegaFregel It would just be sad if it broke on the kill test. To not hear Doug say IT WILL KEELL is absolute agony.

KingBongHogger there was no mistakes...
the only mistake was whacking a pressure treated fence post with it
its his first sword, I suggest he plays (mount and blade : warband) and watch historical RUclipsrs like Skallgrim and Metatron as a form of education.

funny thing, they actually did it, you should watch that episode "forged in fire 2x youngest champion"
EXCALIBUR!!!
I think the first time I heared him shout lol
He’s always yelling: ‘Bladesmiths, you have 10 minutes remaining!’
You should watch more Forged in Fire, lots of Wil WIllis Yelling lmao!
He always yells "Bladesmiths, shutdown your machine, drop your tools ! This forging round is over !"
But as in revealing the main final weapon he NEVR SHOUTS IT untill now
Me too
Hes making swords like tht at 18 ...hes a future master Smith and master bladesmith
I bet if that kid had the gear jabba did he woulda won. They need to make each competetor use the same stuff. Its unfair not too.
I agree 100% with ya on tht
Shut up
I didnt say anything.....I typed it....in order for me to shut up I need to be talking. Pretty basic stuff
@@theerascal8050 gottem
Such a mature, dignified and respectful way to deal with loss and adversity. This young man will go far in life.
I admire his courage for not giving up until the end and he's only 18 yrs old what am I doing with my life lol 😂🤦♂
Right? Hahahaha
I know right
Is smithing a real trade these days? Unless you live in an undeveloped village every country has access to guns.

The “Excalibur!” is the most emotion I’ve ever seen from that guy
“I’m excited to see Doug playing with my sword” definitely not the best word choice
Should've said "pause" right after
“It’s exciting to see what he can do to the human body” following is also kinda sus
That Kid is the definition of Doing your best and accepting failures to be better and achieve Success.
I always love how humble most of the competitors are, despite obvios talent they are always curtious to eachother even after a win or loss. Just wholesomness all around.
Wow this young man never made a sword before but cut deeper than most on this show with years of experience.
Kid has so much heart! I hope he will continue to learn from this experience. It’s awesome that he was able to beat out the other people in the early stages.
I hope this kid knows how awesome he is. second place going up against seniors doing it for years. I tip my hat to you sir.
What a nice kid. Great personality. Glad to see the way he handled the result.
Is there ever a time when he says "it will not keel"
IIRC the crossbow episode.
And the cane sword episode
And a time a sword broke
Cutlass episode, one guy turned in a blade that was dull, it bounced off the dummy

My friends Dad is Scott, pretty cool seeing him on T.V. from our tiny town, and he won, Go Sweder Fam!
18yrs old... He has so much more to learn and hope he comes back and conquers all..

At 18 you still got a lot to learn bud and you have a great outlook good luck dude.
What a humble young man with a good head on his shoulders. All the best moving forward young fella.
For an 18 year old, making his first ever sword, I'd say, it's pretty impressive.
one of the best tv show series i've ever seen on youtube, thanks History for making TV show like this.
Great show. EXCALIBUR!! Can't wait for more episodes to get to Hulu. Well done.✅
Love seeing Wil excited like that. Like a little kid
For his first sword he did really good, compared to other more seasoned blade smiths who's swords snap in half. He did really well
i think that is one of the best damascus blades on the show in my opinion, so defined.
These two are good people, passionate smiths. Well fought Colton, better luck next time! You did great, sure you will be making a sword or two in the future.
When you see the judges whisper and Will step forward, you know your blade is done 🤪...
I like how Doug always sticks his hands inside the guts after he slashes them.
Squishy
I love how humble that kid is.

That is an arming sword, not a broadsword.

*literally bashes sword against a tree and and a skull*
“Your sword has some issues”
Literally every head has a skull. If you're sword has issues when hitting heads, it probably more resembles a toy.
@@castkeyboard every head has a skull but not every skull has a tree trunk behind it
To be fair the strike where it bent he smashed it with the flat of the sword not the actual edge which is what bent it like that. The guy is amateur.
In actual a sword would be hitting wooden Shields and people's heads.
If your sword fails in combat you are dead
You can see that the blade was not evenly heated at 1:11 (colder above tang and below tip). @Brisk XD If you mean the first skull smash, he hit that correctly, but the blade was not able to penetrate inside the skull and slid along it.
I think this weapon is better described as an arming sword.
Yes
No doubt. "Broad sword" is typically used to describe the Scottish sword with a basket hilt.
You are correct.
Montrose Deloofs yeah I saw that on the internet too
That silent moment after he yelled EXCALIBUR! is honestly why i love this show.
“I’m ecstatic to see Doug playing with my sword.” Might want to rephrase that one buddy
The way the host screams excalibur is fantastic 😂
9:07
I thought he was going to say "For that reason I invite you to shake our hands, shake Scot's hand and shake the ram's hand"
Dude i laughed so hard
Gotta say, I really liked the way the older guy's sword turned out. The "patterns" on the blade were very nice to look at.
And I like how this show gives you some idea as to how much work goes into forging something.

18 years and made such a beautiful sword, hats of to this guy!
