- "Forged Down Under" is filmed in Queensland, Australia, at the Savage Custom Creative workshop. Savage Custom Creative specializes in knife making and blacksmithing classes. Our goal is to get as many people interested in and participating in our hobby.
"Forged Down Under" was created to showcase the Australian talent we have in the knife making and blacksmithing community and hopefully get more people interested in our hobby! We also aim to make the industry more friendly, as we're all here to help each other.
Each episode is split into two videos - Part 1 & Part 2. Each episode has a theme and is made up of 3 rounds. Contestants receive a challenge that they must start in round 1 and finish in round 2. Each round is judged based on a rubric and the final score from both round 1 & 2 combined, will decide who moves on to round 3, where they will get a new and more advanced challenge. The winner of round 3 will become a "Forged Down Under" champion.
"Forged Down Under" is unique, as we only give the contestants a theme to follow, and the creativity of how they interpret the theme is wholly up to them. This creates a much more fluid and entertaining approach. Sometimes, giving fewer guidelines is better, as contestants have to battle the urge to overcomplicate the build in a time-constrained environment.
Our judging is also different. We judge the contestants on a rubric for Round 1, based on three categories, with a 1-5 points scale per category, per judge. Then, in Round 2, we judge them on a more complex rubric of five categories. This gives the contestants who think about their approach a more strategic path. If you're smart, you can guarantee high points in a couple of categories or maybe aim for an average across all categories.
We hope you enjoy our show, "Forged Down Under"!

I really like that the judges walk around and examine the works, ask questions and occasionally give some tips. Great!
Great first part for Ep 2! I'm enjoying the depth of information provided and the theme-based structure.
Glad to see you back with episode 2. Visited the Sydney Knife Show today (12/8/23) at Rosehill, got to talk to a lot of makers, and saw demonstrations, really enjoyed the day even though I don't forge. I find this stuff fascinating.
We missed the Sydney show. Glad you liked out show tho =D
Loving this series. Can't wait for more!
Super impressed with Tris, big future ahead of him that guy.
Good for the young man for putting up a good fight. In my opinion, he had the most aesthetically pleasing fork, and I’d argue that it could also be used as a general fire poker.
Pretty good job on all the pieces.
I really liked the big guys knife and then the young guys knife on the look of the blade shape.
I liked the fork/spit aswell.
Everyone did a really good job.
Have fun you guys!
.
Cracker episode Savage Custom Creative, great theme for the show and they all had great ideas. Looking forward to part 2 in 3 weeks.
You will love what they do in the next episode

Tell the camera man to focus on the tools as they are being judged, as they are pointing out flaws.
Dont care about everyones faces.
Great show as always!!!
Nice work, very cool to see.. looking forward to see what Tristan can do
he did an awesome job
Amazing show btw!! Loving every moment of it
Congratulations to you all
An yes young man the future is bright 😊
a camp rotisserie fork and chopper knife would have been a good combo but good to see a Aussie forging series.
The destruction tests make me inhale sharply through my teeth an obscene amount 😅
Love your work boys, everyone did a really cool job!
Thank you!
Well done everyone, congrats to the top two chaps nice forging, see you in Ep2.
I was impressed with young Tristan, especially in that final interview... a nice kid with skills who might not win on the day, but learned from the experience - what a great attitude in life. I hope MY grandson grows up with as much courage and strength.
Good job everyone in the team.
Liked and commented... Another great episode guys.
I really appreciate the fact your testing makes sense for the utensils forged...unlike this other show...I forget the name😂
Keep up the great work. Love the show and the people and all the hard work everyone is doing
Love the show!! Please keep making these awesome vids.
Good work everyone!
Great job everyone.
Thanks Darko, when will you be back mate we miss you
@@SavageCustomCreative a week or so. If it wasn't for smithing I would seriously contemplate extending the holidays :)
Well done guys.
More episodes please!
Love that we are pushing an aussie smithing comp. May i add some suggestions? Perhaps when judging you could try to remember the scores given so that you're not all holding bits of paper. Secondly, perhaps you could make sure that your themes arent so vague, especially when they are being judged on adherence to the theme.
What i mean is when i think of barbecue or camping is likely to be quite different to someone elses interpretation.
This has the potential to be an absolute ripper of a show and i reckon you are 95% of the way there. Keep it up and thanks for making the content.
Great work!!
On a scale of 1-10 how keen are you for your episode to come out h
@@SavageCustomCreative 53 out of 10 lol.
Kudos to all
Thanks mate =D
Gött jobbat Patrik 🤘🏻
at 21:40 the blueing of metal is a technique machinists use to, to let us know where the grinder or tool is cutting, so we know how much metal is being removed, and if it is removed evenly on a long surface.( as a marking out tool, like pencil on wood)
I'm really enjoying the show. It's a nice alternative to the "other" bladesmithing show (which I watch loyally). I have one small observation: The audience never gets to hear the sounds of the craft because of the music. It would be nice if we could hear the hammer striking the anvil, or the grinder tearing away the steel, but the music is always drowning out those sounds.
I really enjoy your show. I cannot say I agree with the judging in the first round. You seem to be basing your judging on what you think a camping set should be. If that is the case then why not just specify it up front. The scoring really hurts the competitors on a very subjective opinion. I think that Mike lost points on his fork, but at the end where it could be used as a spit or a pot holder was a great idea. I think this really put Tristan in a really bad spot where it would be super difficult for anyone to pull out of. In the future I think you should comment at this break but assign no points. Tristan did ultimately fail by not addressing the weight of his fork as you all pointed out. Again, great show and I enjoy it a lot.
I like this one better than ours in the states it's more than knives
👍👍👍
Cheers 🤙🏻
When is the next episode coming out guys 🎉
Thinking a 3 prong Fork, A Modified large Bowie stylized knife. A dark wooden coffin style handle with a orange linner, brass pins, and a mosaic through pin, and a lanyard hole. A bowie type S shape cross guard. A good oversized 10" Clip Point Blade, with saw back, and with fuĺlers.
I’m proud to say I know Tristen in person
🤘😎🤘
Thanks mate
Aussie math 40+54=95 👍😂
great show, but for the start a safety point, NEVER use a gas torch or fuelled lighter to fire up a burner!, the gas could flash back into the lighter and blow the fuel tank!, why oxy welders use flint style igniters; but here put some kindling on a stick and put inside the furnace, a lot safer for you, and the cameraman behind filming you 🙂
... I think I'll change my patron name😅
Haha na I like your name
A instant fork an spoon 200mm lol light but strong
The blades up to your style of bush BBQ knife
Wheres the 4th guy?
yeag if this still going in 5-6 yeas would like to see you Tristan back
My couple of cents worth of handle construction
There's a 3 sided screwdriver brand kin etc now how I realised there ability of grip
They had there handle an at other end the usual handle
I gripped twisted lol near tore my hands skin off in the normal handle
It pointed out to me
We have 3 didget on fingers
If it's a blocky rectangular shape rounded edges or not
Grab a Bic lighter
It's very comfortable in hand
To triangle that size an give shape
Is the optimum handle size
These crew haven't the bond the last crew had
There not clicking as such
My first 5 min would be making sure I've got the concept
Camping is way different to step out of car in a local park
My only thing to say
They didn't bond click an well that again
It's not our ability it OUR abilities as our collective mind
WTF. It jumped up because its spring steel? Seriously and you actually teaching others.
Have you learned of a thing called a joke. Atleast he has personality. Unlike some people. Also you made a mistake you suppose to say *It's* not its.
@@Bushdemon001
Ahhhh, the gramer police personality.
@@markuscamenzind5510 Not really. If you can make a comment about something, so can i then sweetie.
@@Bushdemon001
Ok, boy.
That joke bounced so high over your head it must have been made from spring steel as well.
