What happened to Will
Best show on tv
What happened to will?
I was shocked you guys presented our beloved most important and respected Muslim fighter with this respect, this is one of my best show, Beautiful Salah Eddin swords made by Bryan and Walter good job guys.
Forged and fire episod are live in 2020
I appreciate everyone’s praise. I was the second place contestant. I gained so much more from appearing on this show than any money could buy. I met wonderful people and was able to prove some things to myself, beyond bladesmithing. As a human being I have improved from this experience. I believe the decision was correct and I commend Walters work. Pertaining to the text I inscribed on the blade, with the limited time I had and not being fluent in either Kurdish or Arabic as well as not having weeks to study the subject I found several interpretations of the mans name and used the common denominator. Which as it turns out I’m told is in fact correctly written in Kurdish. I did my best with the time I had... thank you everyone please enjoy the show for what it is... entertainment.
Always wanted to be a blacksmith
Both of those blades were singing through that rug. Some of the sound may been post production, but I think they both were ringing
God bless you sir ❤️
I LOVED YOUR SWORD MORE TBH♥
@@andromeda5966 thank you so much!
The sword that took back Jerusalem
It was a straight sword. Curved sword which is just slightly curved not this curved. Used by the Turks contingent in Saladin’s army. Saladin as a Kurds himself and related to Persian those days were using straight swords.
Where is that sword, gotta get Jerusalem again from the bank.
Yeah but not for the jews
Now u could take back 2 jarusalems
@@alohasnackbar3544 That's what my research encountered also, the Shamshir (by appearance) is the blade they designed, which is from Persia (Iran) and the sword of Saladin (Egyptian) is less curved, and more straight.
*Can you imagine the heart of those people that fought face to face days at a time no water no place to rest, History is Amazing Saladin is definitely one of the greatest warriors*
they definitely needed water xd
@@Krondon-SSR battle of Hattin memes
@Everything Shorts Heartless? Who??
@Everything Shorts only white Christians are heartless
@@chefmertt Saladin, at the horns of hattin he taunted the crusaders by having his men go up to the line and pour water into the sand, plus he sold the entire crusader army into slavery and executed one of the commanders of the crusader force for a charge that almost reached him.
I don't get how people love to glorify him for retaking Jerusalem, he said he would have murdered every Christian in the city once it fell had the garrison leader not threatened to do the same to the Muslims and burn the city to the ground so Saladin couldn't have it
Not using pigs was an amazing nod to the swords history. Well Done 👍
Salah El Din is a very strong warrior. I am Italian and I respect his character 🇮🇹
Salahuddin not Salah El Din
This guy is legendary for donating to a cancer charity.
So humble, God bless him.
He still sucks as the host!
@@WaltPDABADGUY Uhhh hes not talking about the host tho...
@John Doe way to have a positive outlook. I bet you’re fun at parties
@@WaltPDABADGUY dude you gotta lay off the weed before you start commenting. 😂

Thank you his Armee is still living

That ringing sound the blade made through the rug was pretty epic.
If you notice the grin I had when that happened, I knew that was going to be the kicker, and Walter earned it!
The sharpeness test kinda hurt because I liked those rugs.
Same
RIGHT!? Was about to rant about that myself, but here you were at the top of the comments. They totally could have used beige shag carpet, like what the heck I want those!
Those are the common rugs in Egypt nowadays 😅
It really tied the room together.
The rugs were nice but the ring from the second blade sounded amazing.
I love close episodes like this. It's terrific that neither of these smiths made an error or suffered an accident that forced them to turn in poor blade. Catastrophic failures are car-crash fun to watch, but it's far more satisfying to see two quality weapons put through their paces.
The close contests make for the best contests.
It’s even better when they bring back the guys who were so close like this for second chances cause they usually prove that they should of had it
Definitely
Thank you very much!
In a close competition like this.
Judges: Gentleman turn and face your opponent... 🤺
Respect to that guy..he didn't use a pig for the test👍
This is one of those episodes that ...you hate there has to be a loser... Both were great!
I actually would wonder if there was an episode where they just had to announce it was a draw. A tie. Both weapons being equally amazing to wield, and they share the 5k to both finalists.
The only loser is the ram....
Yeah, the guy who is replacing Will doesn't cut it as a presenter.
O.K. I'll see myself out now.....
Why is he replacing him?
He is not being replaced, he is just busy being dad because he’s had a kid.
Glad I'm not the only one. Actually why I was going through comments, lol.
im done with this show now.
@@to0ki relax. wil will be back. hes just taking care of his kids
Doug showing up and realizing the regular host is gone; "Where is, Wheeeeeeel"
XD I can't with this comment hahaha
Haha, that is Great.
😆😆😆
Utmost respect to the great honorable King Saladin!
They should give at least 500$ to the second guy, both swords were good, and also they basically keep his sword!
They always let them keep the swords after, it's just theatre.
@@msrlapin99 ^ Yeah the losers always get their weapons back. The only weapon they keep is the winners.
@@battlefieldelite1 Bryan could probably bring home well over $500 for that sword on Ebay. Or hang it in a place of pride in his own forge. No matter what, he can definitely point to this episode to help boost his own business if he makes knives professionally.
@@msrlapin99 Really? I didn't know that!
@@msrlapin99 Actually No, the winners weapon is kept to remain in a "winners hall of fame", the "hall" itself is off frame because the collection has gotten large, but they pull a handful out of the hall to hang around the judges table for each episode. The losers weapons can be seen strewn around the walls of the forge. I know all this because I actually wanted to try the competition, and researched it. What made you guys come to your assumptions? I barely care but I am baffled by the incorrect assumptions I'm seeing here, like the idea of all the losers get their weapons back, why do you think there's so many familiar looking weapons hung around the forge? Why would they either 1; have all past contenders ship their weapons back for decor each episode, or 2; recreate an identical copy of DOZENS of unique mishaps. Both options taking many hours and THOUSANDS of wasted dollars. The best thing to do and WHAT THEY DO, is keep the products of every contestant that enters, and give the winner 10k, it's not complicated. I've now said what needed to be said.
A sword that sings when it cuts..... Beautiful in sight and sound...
My favorite part in every episode, “It will kill.” 😂
*keel😉
@@gnrlsohan2373 *keal 😉
Same mahn😂😂😂
@@-441- 😂 appreciate 🔥
More like “it, will kill 😂”
There’s a small detail i really respect about this show , the carcasses they used it wasn’t pigs , they replaced it with ram and it’s so respectful and it made me like the show more🤍
The less that new host talks, the better it is for me and this show. I like the old host. Bring him back please.
He's busy being a new dad and stuff
@@mohammadwaled409 Yes, calm down dude, he'd be back
@@dimitri_tsm I'm not mad, I know he's being a Dad. As a Dad I'm glad he put that first. Just saying I don't like this host, I liked him more. He was a great host.
Come on man everyone needs a job haha
Seriously
Impressive episode. A duel more even than the Schiavona's one.
We have the same name
@@giuseppehernandez786 cool. We can create a band.
Am I the only one who experiences being called GiuseppI by English speakers?
@@Giuseppe_Paolillo I’m English why would they pronounce your name with an l at the end when there is no l
@@antoniofeliciano6183 Hi Antonio: I am Italian and Giuseppe is pronounced with the second e as the first one. In Italian, the pronunciation of i Is equal to e in English. So my name is often incorrectly spelled as GiuseppI by English speakers
@@Giuseppe_Paolillo guyzippi?? Is that how you pronounce it?
That was such a close fight between these two, and Walter taking part of his winnings and giving it to a cancer research charity? Absolute legend of a man.
Hazrat Sultan Salah ud din Ayubi is a legend. He carry out all his riegn with great justice love care and respect not only for muslim but also for non muslims. Even today there are christians who praise Hazrat Salah ud din for his love bravery valour and tge values he posses. He was one of the true representator of what Islam really teaches us. Thnk u
Hope Will comes back soon.
Agreed. The new guy is good but Will has alot more knowledge about these weapons and I'm certain he researches it in his spare time
Where is he???
@@ajsyugitube8751 He and his fiancee had a kid so he's busy being a dad for now.
@@ajsyugitube8751 from what I’ve heard he he and his wife just had a baby so he’s home with them for a while
@@defaultzenabled4261 yea the new guy is rude
I really appreciate they dont use pigs for this sword in particular.
Good point!
Why???
@@nigelmaccuver9122 muslim origins
Lol. They should have.
@@toddedwards1371 Get bent. I found it really respectful of them. Plus, rams are much, much tougher to cut through than domesticated pigs, especially for a sword of this style.
some battle won by Saladin Battle of al-Babein , Battle of the Blacks , Battle of Hattin , Battle of the Horns of Hama , Siege of Jacob's Ford , Battle of Marj Ayyun , Siege of Safed 1188 , Siege of Jerusalem (1187) and others
Salah al deen the liberater of Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏻
A beautiful sword the sword of Saladin is. Truly legendary. As much as the man Saladin himself wielded. As evidence by his statue of him as stated in the video in Damascus.
It’s a shame that the sword of the sultan of Egypt and Damascus is not made of Damascus steel
Damascus*
Well, modern Damascus is generally done to replicate the final patterns that were on the finished steel products back in the old Damascus but I think they're different methods, and by now I think we've made tougher pieces of steel so using them is as practical as saladin would have liked
That’s true but these guys only had a few days to make those, give a proper smith a month and you’d get the Damascus steel one
A misnomer since Damascus steel making was invented in South India
Because Damascus Steel did not originate in Damascus. Common misconception.
Fun fact : Doug actually says “KEAL” cause he knew that kids would be watching this show so he formed an abbreviation that is : KEAL -> Keep everyone alive , and he said this to signify that the main purpose of these weapons are for self defence
That's....Nice!
The amount of people getting angry over the "new" host is ridiculous all that matters is the weapons will keel.
السيف العربي خفيف وقوي وسريع في القطع
I thought Brian would win solely based on the fact that he inscribed that arabic along the spine.
I like how the judge says “your weapon will ”. Both are great scimitars.
The fit and finish of both these swords are some of the best I've seen on the show so far.
“Their hides are as tough as leather” hmm
Who's gonna tell him
"ah yes the floor is made out of floor"
Technically leather is tanned hide. So the comparison is kind of correct. I´d take it as a figure of speech though.
@@maxlutz3674 And the tanning process generally makes the skin much tougher. So saying the skin is tough as leather makes perfect sense to anyone who knows what the tanning process can do.
The sound of his blade slicing the rug is deadly.
No one:
Subtitles: Bladesmiths, welcome to the keel test.
The emblem on those shields looks like the official flag of Flanders.
I love curved blades, the damage they do is just insane.
was thinking the same
I hope Wil is having a good time with his family, but I hope he'll return soon. I never really watched for Wil but him having a stand-in really makes me realize how good he was. It especially threw me off when the new guy just told the loser to leave and didn't offer a handshake or anything (maybe cause of covid?) Also, Dave Baker really seemed like he didn't want either of them to lose with how much he complemented the loser's blade
The lack of handshake is purely because of COVID. Notice that during the testing, the competitors are also standing apart. You can tell about when COVID started to become a situation during the filming of S8 because the work in the FiF forge people are closer together, but then a bunch of the testings the contestants are further apart and there's no handshakes, then eventually everything including the stuff in FiF's forge is shot with everyone apart.
I love it when he says your weapon will keeelllll😂
For a piece like that to have good weight distribution and no handle problems, is exceptional. This episode was great.
The sound 6:56 !!! Is just the best in this Episode!!!!! You won already dude
I clicked this and got an ad 😅
@@loknathshankar5423 lol
“Great sword bro, but unfortunately you’re gonna have to gtfo”
Bruh
Agree.. they could give something for the 2nd in very close decision
🅱️ruh
Kudos for donating part of his winnings. Much respect!
That winning blade was singing. Amazing work.
Really Missing Will ...
Don’t worry, he will be back. He’s just had a kid, so he is busy being dad, but he deserved a break after all the hard effort he put into forged in fire.
You’re never disappointed with the judge’s decision, it’s always right, both blades are awesome but the winners curvature was more true to Saladin’s real sword.
Surprising how such a light blade cut so well and still held in one piece.
These are my favourite episodes. Where two peerless weapons are brought in and just blow everyone away with their beauty and quality. In older times these blades would be legendary.
This has to be the best winner reaction on the show. Was so sure he lost but actually won. Just shows how close this battle was.
You bought that?
@@johnnymcblaze it was genuine!🤷🏼♂️
This certainly was a close race. I was thinking the same thing as David before I heard him say it. Awesome competition. The jade colored wood with the acid etched fittings was very pleasing to the eyes.
3:24 IK he wrote "صلاح الدين الأيوبي " but where was it on the blade or the handle and I really LOVE him for doing it in Arabic I really appreciate it . My real name is actually Salaheldin so this video means alot to me
My name is salahedin
Thank you very much!
I love how they even honor and respect king Saladin by using a ram and not a pig (pork) because he was Muslim
This was one of the closest competitions. Both are extremely talented bladesmiths well done to them both!
Doug when he saw the new host : "where is our weeeel?"
This was awesome. Something to consider is the fact that Saladin's Sword was made using Wootz damascus. History shows that his sword was sharp enough to cleanly cut a falling cloth.
That smile is killing me
@ 7:01 you can hear the harmonic vibration of the sword... Dude made a legendary 'singing sword'!!!
wow, one of the best competitions yet, great showing.
The best competitive episode I have ever seen!!! They’re getting better and better, tighter and tighter. This eighth season of forged in fire is better than even season seven, season six, season five, season four, season three, season two, and season one!!
The craftsmanship of all these competitors is amazing.
Fun fact: first sword carved the name of Salah Al Din Ayubbi in Kurdish not Arabic
It will it will cut, it will smash and most importantly it will "keel"..❤️❤️
went to school with Walter. Deserves this so much always a humble and great person congrats.
It's so great u know this guy !! I don't know why i'm happy 😄
The writing on the sword is actually written in Kurdish language and saladin was actually kurdish man 😏
This show is at its best when both weapons are stellar.
Great duel, would love to see this both battling again
I really wish they had two 10000 cheques
Very proud that Saladin was from my country
What a classy winner. Much success to you Walter.
I feel bad for Brian. He did an amazing job!
Why did i read it like : i feel bad for brain😂
Thank you!
Bryan did sorta an anime exit with that back turned thumbs up.
That handle is a piece of art by itself
I've actually met Doug out at a diner by accident one day. Hes a very respectful man. Good dude. 585
The smiths were great. But the design of the weapon is also so great which made the weapon perform so well
Al-Nasir Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb Always legend ☝🏻❤️💥⭐🌙
When he make the face and say "it'll kill" 😂
My right ear really enjoyed the history lesson on the sword!
My left ear thoroughly enjoyed the epic music!
They should have split the prize, well done to both candidates.
couldn't agree more. both did an outstanding job and the blades performed great on the tests.
i will buy the inscirpted saladin sword for 1,000. if only they put these on bids
Unfortunately it is inscribed on the pronunciation of saladin in English; like he dissected the word into "suh luh deen" and then inscribed the translation to these sounds so it's basically a deconstructed "suh luh deen" written in arabic instead of "salah al-din" which was his name in arabic.
It's a pretty decent attempt and I like that he did it, moreover I appreciate that he had the ability to inscribe the sounds and decorations without taking from the quality of his sword
The smile when he says it will. Cut or kill
I love it when the competition is this close
Christ, they didn't even peel the goat for this one
Why would they peel it? They don't do that for any of the animals.
wow the talent of the bladesmiths has gotten so friking high that its mesmerizing. Excellent show and excellent talent presented!
Did you see the episode that tested a spike shield? Homeboy put a spike and an in-built gauntlet on his. Other dude had like, zero chance of winning.
That was the better epsodes I have seen so far. What a close competition that was.
Wow. Crazy close. Both champion-quality. Well done to them.
Man this was the toughest one
In the 12 Century the swords of the saracens are straight double edge , that is a 16-19 century shamshir !
No .. it is not true because there are swords from the days of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, that exist in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and have curv
And this was in the year 625 AD .. Arabs have always used these swords for their light weight and efficiency, and Arabs are known for their agility in battles.
@@user-he8to9ew2p Not true, the prophe'ts swords were all straight and are in display in Istanbul Museum in Turkey.
I think its very funny that the tester smiles like a child and says everytime "it will kill"
Wow, that was a close race, you got to love it.
I would like to see Bryan come back for a second chance. Beautiful sword.
….😁…..oh I intend to….😊
One of the most satisfying episode ever, almost a draw
They both did an outstanding job
"Will KiEeL."
*Smiles creepily*
Closest competition I’ve seen so far, testing wise.
Waste of Egyptian rugs. Beautiful swords to say the least!!

Both brought amazing builds. So sharp as well. The closest contest.
