So, I grew up on a farm and grew what I ate. I also am into smoking meats and hate wasting anything. What happens to the carcass after they are cut up?
Richard should be proud in his smithing skills. It was a design fault that let him down in the end but that was a strong and deadly weapon. The work was correct 100% but the design wasn’t in point. Can still produce quality though.
@@jfc3552 1:10 if you can see clearly at the bottom left corner of the screen it's DAY 3, not DAY 1. of course he would've finished his forging process by that time.
@@jfc3552 That's what I thaught too. The jury not having taken this in consideration surprises mee, because I remind a competitor being disqualified because of that. Even if the forged kpinga wasn't in the eyes of the jury the best for them, the design cut is easier to produce. One can design and instinctively proportion and balance it by eyeballing and then do the cutting. The forged one, he had to let in some way the metal guide him and follow the limits of stress by stretch zones, bendings and crush zones. Considering the fact that it should be forged because of the title and at least an other competitor was disqualified or heavily questioned about it, I would declare Mr Richard as the winner. In the end, both did great jobs and overall the winners kpinga looks really balanced. I going to do some research, 'cause I'm a little too curious how this kpinga was in fact really produced with less tools and grinding belts. ;`) but nevertheless very interesting show!!! :)))

I'm sure it was actually because your kpinga didn't fall into the given parameters. Don't beat yourself up over it, it's hard to get a good kpinga shaped tool.
We’ll send you back to your home forge to recreate this iconic weapon from history: the M1 carbine. And for strength test, we have this M4 Sherman here...
Doug looks like a kind fellow with his big smile, slight bows and funny pronunciation, but then you realise that he is a black belt martial arts specialist, and he could chop anybody in seconds. When he says "it will keel", you better believe it will.
I would be interested in this, except of the three of them I'm pretty sure only one is an actual practicing bladesmith, Jay. David is I believe a specialist in ancient weaponry, I know he's done some forging of course but I think he's more on the historical side of things rather than making his own. And Doug is just a one man massacre. He's there to swing the weapons, not make them :P
Theyre already making this and it will be live on June 4 (or something like this). I saw an ad and there will be Ben, Jay, David and maybe Jason but these 3 for sure
I loved the kpinga. Its like a much larger shuriken, designed so no matter how it hits the enemy, it stabs them. The weight behind it can knock you on your butt and the blades will penetrate far enough to be lethal rather than painful. You dont want to be anywhere near that bad boy when its flying.
@marhawkman303 iirc the shape was also so it could be used as a "regular" weapon. i.e. you can't really use a throwing star in hand to hand combat, but you can use this.
I have no idea what were those who originally came up with this weapon design were high on, but it was something special. It's such a weird looking thing, like someone found pieces of scrap metal, randomly hammered them together and was somehow able to roll 20 on Persuasion that it is useful.
Both men are great at their crafts. Enjoyed this round, Richard well done on your blade, regardless of the loss its a better bit of kit than I've ever made. And well done David, beautiful weapon all round
@@MegaFregel 1:10 at the bottom left corner of the screen, it says DAY 3. Nate(the bald guy) actually did forged his blade. he just did it at day 1 and day 2.
I thought for sure "kpinga" was going to be pronounced differently than it sounds, but I'm not disappointed. It sounds like the comic book sound effect for when it hits - "KPINGA!!"
Nate's Kpinga was freaking awesome. The chisel work as well, it was great. But overall I would want to go into battle with Nate's weapon for sure, the sharpness and how sturdy it was. I would be very honored to use that weapon. How did they make these things in the past?!
I think that's part of why the judges talk about their process. This process of continual feedback about flaws, no matter how seemingly minor lets the contestants know where they stand. Ultimately, in a contest of skill, the winner should only be a surprise if the contestants are so evenly matched the deciding factor is nearly invisible. Like one of these the only real difference in function... was one blade bent a tiny bit so that it wasn't perfectly true after getting used to chop through a fake skull in a ballistic dummy. But, there can be only one. Any edge, no matter how minor, can make the difference.
You know, I'm sure these competitors have watched "Forged in Fire" on multiple occasions, and as such, they know what to expect in they made it this far. You would think that common sense would tell them "Before" they compete, to upgrade both their forge and their quench, so that if they did have to make something longer or wider, they would be ready for anything. 🤔
I'm only speaking from a few shows that I've watched. I've seen many people slightly alter their forge on the spot. Also, making it that far, I would only assume that I may have a chance of making a long sword. Preparing a long quench shouldn't be that expensive.

i need to adjust for this weapon... every weapon is different when hand crafted and given loose design instructions
I feel like using an angle grinder would've been 1000x easier to get all the corners.
The grinder would give it an uneven heat
Most competitors: “you have to build a 3 feet long sword, needs a fuller”.
These guys:
I've never wanted a weapon to break more after seeing that heat treat 😂

Not everybody has the money to buy or alter new equipment like that.
