thats whats so dumb about ths concept. like its one thing to be a blacksmith & another to be a swordsman. most of the penalties have nothing to do with the blades like the timber thing. especially the ball thing, how was dude supposed to even scratch it when it rolled out so far away from him when they were shown to be in the middle in the demo?? AND WHY IS THIS ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL 😭😭
@@milannoelle1576 If only they hired someone like Skallagrim. He can probably spew some interesting historical facts about various swords, or just general information about thickness, taper, guards, etc... and also absolutely crush the competition. Also, this is after pawn stars. History had very much decayed from its original mission.
so stoked you found my wife and my favorite reality show. we call it “knife dad cardio hour” because it’s usually just a bunch of out of shape dudes with fake martial arts backgrounds gasping for air after 10 seconds of sword swings also goldberg always turns purple
Dude this is freaking amazing. The zooming in on the cargo short crotch shots. The heavy breathing. The use of the word “power” every two seconds. Ahhhh knife daddies- they never disappoint.
Am I correct to think Chris has no idea who Goldberg is?? I'm only a few minutes in, but he hasn't addressed it yet, so I'm assuming he's not going to.
I like how in Forged in Fire they highlighted the need for specific blades for specific purposes but this show ignores that for middle aged men LARPing
The dudes larping aren’t the only ones super enjoying this lol. I went to a hole in the wall bar one time and the only other people in there were 6 dad looking dudes. There was no music playing in the bar just this show on full blast and those dudes were INTO IT. It was oddly wholesome listening to them discuss the different types of blades and what they would do to make them better (even though I’m sure none of them were blacksmiths lol)
regardless, the fact they can make blades and get them that sharp is commendable, I've worked in an industry where sharp knives are important. It takes knowledge and experience to properly sharpen a blade, let alone make one.
Wondering the same as I watch. The way he's just like "the host", I think he doesn't know who Goldberg is. Or it's a clever bit to drum engagement, but if so I'm ok with it lol
Shame you’re not at least 1M yet. Criminally underrated channel great content great humor, I found you on a whim from a video in my recommended a year ago. Been following since you’re relatable and fucking hilarious
You need to do more Ghost Adventures, especially the later seasons where Zac gets “possessed” and threatens to kill his buddies in every episode…. On a side note Drew was 1 sexy, nerdy twink!!!
It also means that the blade smiths probably spent some time to prepare for that part. So imagine, if you will, the following scene: You have moved into a nice neighborhood with some shops and such around. When looking at the house you were told that your neighbor is a blade smith, and he already has the vibes of these guys. The house is nice, so you don’t think too much of it. You have moved in and set up your 5 year old’s room and let him play in there, next to the window looking at the neighborhood. As you come in to call him to dinner, you see this scene below: 9:47 You fear for your life, watching your neighbor slash at different things, and wonder when your family will be on the chopping block. Any way, that is how I imagine these guys seem to everyone around them.
That’s what cutting competitions are, though. It’s not testing the blade so much as the wielder. Baseball games aren’t testing the baseballs, the bats, and the gloves, even though the equipment can directly affect the performance. There are minimum standards that every blade makes before it can even be used to compete. After that, it’s all a test of the athlete, and if they know how to use their equipment, like most sports.
@@arynnoctaviayeah which is why this show makes nooo sense. Like there was a reason the forgers didn’t wield their own weapons and part of it was because they probably can’t wield them properly. And I love it.
Chris - found your page while laid up recovering from surgery after a bad crash. Thanks for the laughs, you made being stuck in bed for months not suck quite as bad! 😂
That ending obstacle course looks like someone played too much Fruit Ninja and wanted to find a way to watch it live. So they made Knife or Death, the ultimate Fruit Ninja show.
The bald host is Bill Goldberg one of the most famous pro wrestlers from the 90's, quite random seeing him here but always good to see him outside of the ring
Do you remember the show on TLC called Trading Spaces? Neighbors have 2 days, they redecorate each others’ living rooms with an interior designer & carpenter bro
I'm guessing that they don't get to take home the blades they make on the show, because the show doesn't want to be held responsible for anything that might happen to anyone with a blade made on the show.
Remember when we used to play with cardboard tubes in the back yard, pretending to be swordfighting? I feel like we're watching some dudes who never stopped swordfighting with cardboard tubes and wants America to see it.
"This is so much for repetitive..." oh boy, just watch a few more episodes. The 'judges' really do their level best to find new and interesting ways to say "that was a great swing" and "you gotta generate power" 😅
Those ratchet straps are 100% loosened up for contestants that the producers don't want to win. I mean, look at "the kid's" swing 13:43 Compare it with 16:10
I don't understand how you still only have 259k subscribers. I hope you are doing very well with your other mediums man. What you do is perfect commentary, and never dips to the typical "reaction vids" I despise.
1:18 cantaloupes are orange inside... that one is a honeydew melon. green inside and smooth skin as opposed to the cantaloupes... bumpy webby skin? best way i can think to describe it.
After a shit day this was the ray of sunshine as I've never laughed so hard since the Emo man child "Magician" was Literally steamrolled. Best video yet, Chris! Thank you!
Keith looks like someone who was dropped from the final cut of Tiger King for not being quite as messed up as Joe Exotic or Doc Mantle, but noteworthy in ways that threw the wacky vibe off
Chris, new viewer here. Not sure if you have reacted to a show called Kings of Pain or something like that. I believe it was also on the History Channel. I’d love to see your take on that one!
Bold of Chris to assume that The History Channel has $20,000 to be giving away to what's really just an awkward day of show and tell for middle-aged dads.
With Page, I swear before he ran out of breath, i was thinking "it isnt just how good the blade is, it's who is wielding it." Because that first guy was intense. He could probably get through the course with everyone's blade
Am waiting till i get home to watch,but after looking at the description this will be hilarious!😂An obstacle course...well, at least it adds more,um, excitement?to an already boring show 😅If it wasn't for you doing these commentaries Chris James,i would never bother watching ❤
I just started following Chris James off social media - like when he goes to the gas station, or at the drive thru at Wendy’s. It’s not as fun as his videos, but it’s something to do between his uploads.
Chris you're one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I truly mean that. It disappointed me you didn't point out Bill Goldberg at all though. It's okay though you're still top tier 💜
If you ask them where they were on January 6th they'd probably say they were home, cus the people that were at the Capitol are still being held by the fbi

The weight of it all is what they are trying to say made him miss. He got tired and dropped his form or whatever. It makes sense

I was not expecting Goldberg to be a host on this show..or on any show. I was half expecting him to spear through the challenges himself 😭
I KNOW. My 1st thought was "Fucking Goldberg!!" But it works

I don't think he knows who he is.
There's no way he doesn't know who Goldberg is. Everyone knows who Goldberg is.
They'd better say "no more Mr Knife Guy" when someone gets eliminated

He missed out there. We need an apology there
it's kind of hilarious how this show hypes up the blades when a big factor is going to be if the person knows how to use a blade.

"Your blade has suffered a catastrophic malfunction, please turn in your blade and see yourself out"
How did you not mention the fact that the host is WWE superstar, monster truck inspiration, and general American hero Goldberg
Goldberg was also one of the best Santa's ever in Santa's Slay (2005)
Holy crap it is Goldberg
I’m your 69th like
Because maybe hes not a wrestling fan? Like who cares if he recognized him it wouldnt have added anything?

I discovered your channel a week ago and binged all your videos. So excited for a new video!
Do you remember the show on TLC called Trading Spaces? Neighbors have 2 days, they redecorate each others’ living rooms with an interior designer & carpenter bro
I'd be so happy if Chris covered the straw wall episode
Watching two old guys running through an obstacle course was not what I thought I would do today
I'm guessing that they don't get to take home the blades they make on the show, because the show doesn't want to be held responsible for anything that might happen to anyone with a blade made on the show.
Chris just calling Goldberg "the host" made me laugh
Not going to lie, I’d be pissed if I made just an extra long knife and then saw the guys who came in with a literal goddamn claymore.
Old man Ninja Warrior where the competitors all have to run around with GIANT blades!? I'm in!
Goldberg alone probably accounts for at least 30% intensity🤣🤣
And 30% of the budget
Drew was without a doubt at the lil charlottesville *demonstration* hes just got that look in his eye when hes walking up in the intro
Lmfaooooo
I'll watch literally anything you thow out. Your channel is my secret addiction 🤫
that host looks so big he could accidently ruin one of the most technical wrestlers of all time with a kick to the head
why are the only youtubers who are actually funny not more popular? this guy always makes me wake up my wife
"Get up and make me some popcorn, the new Chris James video just dropped", I can relate
i have a theory that the other chris james on youtube steals this ones traffic somehow
"WAKE UP HONEY THERE'S A NEW CHRIS VIDEO!!!!!"
RUclips prioritizes quantity over quality. The top channels are ones that upload everyday.

Who tf put Goldberg on a show about something he absolutely knows nothing about and then put that on the mfin History Channel?
I could watch you do these commentary reviews forever, you crack me up, your sense of humor is amazing
Yay!! A Chris James video 🎉
Since I work from home I watch RUclips all day while working and I always get hyped when Chris has a new video
I have met a few hobbyist knife-makers and I could totally see them gathering with other aficionados and thoroughly enjoying something like this.
Imma be honest Roeder’s manure sword was the best thing i have seen in a while 😂
1:18 cantaloupes are orange inside... that one is a honeydew melon. green inside and smooth skin as opposed to the cantaloupes... bumpy webby skin? best way i can think to describe it.

Thank you!
I'd love to see you do a review of Special Ops Mission. It stars the host of Forged in Fire, Wil Willis. I think that you'd enjoy it.
I loved that show!
The guy at 3:58 looks like a cop just told him “Sir, can you please step out of the vehicle”
Good to see Bill Goldberg venturing into knives even though he's a spear connoisseur
Really funny to see these middle aged mall ninjas and backyard commandoes sweat like its the navy seals trials :D
His happiness will go away too probably faster than the pain
At this point why does history channel even have a completion just play 24/7 footage of knifes and guns destroying fruit, and meat.
Ayo Chris James back? Heck yeah brother
They weren't the sponsor this time, but missed opportunity to relate your stuggle chopping onions into a Factor ad.
I really want Chris to do the Butcher show to round out the trilogy

22:44 Was it $20K?? I heard them say $2k which was... laughable.
Its also in the subtitles
2k was for the runner up not the winner

“Strike while the irons hot” definitely warrants a like
Fruit Ninja really needed this boost.
How dare you not introduce world class wrestling super star bill goldberg! You deserve everything that's comin to ya
The winner gets $2,000 not $20,000
"That host" is freakin' Goldberg and you better put some respect on the name
pain doesn't goes away but i bet happiness do

How dare they have Goldberg on a show and not have him Spearing the losers as they walk away.
they honestly expect these dudes to chop a half dozen onions that are like 2 inches taller than the table they're on? good lord man.
Was waiting for Chris to make some goldberg references but forgot not everyone watched wrestling growing up lol
This is what Goldberg needs to keep doing. I’d rather see him host then almost paralyzing wrestlers
I went to high school with Jay. He's a solid dude and a Hell of a bladesmith!
1:58, no logical reason Chris? It’s Goldberg, there’s a perfectly logical reason
He’s setting up for the Spear!

Shit that one guys sword was pretty crazy he like WALKED it through nearly everything
The real question is why goldberg is hosting this lol
Calling it Knife or Death, but won't let it end in a grand knife fight melee.
Prime missed opportunity right there.
I don't normally fuck with this format of content but chris legitimately cracks me the fuck up
Chris not immediately knowing who Goldberg was was definitely a shock lol
They stand so far away in case the contestants get violent. It's the 25 foot rule. Law enforcement does it.
Lol, Goldberg is a professional wrestler from the 90’s.
This show is wild. I’ve never heard of it before.
It's a guilty pleasure style show
