Billy
Bob
Is this quantity before quality show ?
Cuz time is limited no way of showing any skill.
The Host is overly arrogant and off putting and is the only misstep in this otherwise well done and entertaining show.
Your knife did not make the cut…pun intended
History channel is becoming a joke, afraid of any commentary other than their own just like liberals
BILLEH BAWB HAHAHAHAHA
don’t delete my comment please

3:09 these professional Smith’s spelt “Damascus” wrong. great title for their thriving show
the judges are rude
Guys stop making fun of Billy Bob he is a good bladesmith and that’s what matters
So many views very little comments
Bobby Bill
youtube bans people who are family friendly
id want to change my name if my name was Billy bob
“Alright, now about your blade. After stabbing a wall of 21-inch thick diamond with it, placing it in a vise and bashing the edge with a block of pure marble 1,100 times, and using it as a diving board for a full grown hippopotamus to jump into its favorite marsh, unfortunately the tip has flattened, its sharpness has eroded into complete nonexistence, and the hippo’s weight literally bent it over on itself. Further, placing it in the exact center at ground zero of a 50 megaton nuclear blast has resulted in catastrophic weapon failure. Therefore, we ask you to surrender your blade — or what’s left of it — and leave the forge.” Contestant: WTF
How many knives and swords do you watch before you get bored of the same old thing?
Dam
those r good guys its always sad to watch how disappointed they r after failure
Stupid Berne sanders add.….wut a joke go trump
Billy Bob!
They should make a teen versión of this
3:42 just focus on trying get it done and just ran out of time
So your telling me that the guy stands for 3 hours ?
I like his sentiment but that “find a reason to say yes and life is more fun” but scares me a little, just plain bad advice
We have a very difficult time with this show. The background music is usually at the same volume level as the voices. We came to hear what is being said not bombarded by the extremely annoying music. Remember, many folks have hearing difficulties, having to fight the music over voices makes your show extremely difficult watching. The music add absolutely zero to the show, more so it subtracts much of the enjoyment. Eliminate the background music.
anyone got any videos on how to thread a tang?
THIS IS “FOLDED-STEEL”, NOT DAMASCUS, AND NOT EVEN DAMASCUS-PATTERN!
4:40
i feel you.
Their disappointed, slightly condescending “What happened?” is kind of ridiculous. They know the answer. They ran out of time. The judges all just watched them try to do as much as they could in the 3 hours they had.
Ilya would have dominated this
Most importantly
It will keeeeel
Take off Steve’s glasses, put a rimmed hat on him, and he’s the bad guy from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Watching random clips, I somehow managed to watch all three rounds of this episode in reverse order. Knowing who is going to be eliminated kind of ruins the suspense lol
Ben Abbott has some really beautiful damascus knives on his website. He definitely has the knack for it. Check it out if you wanna see what damascus can look like when you’re not staring down the clock.
All 4 did an amazing Job. No matter who had to leave the forge
Who names their kid ‘Billy Bob’ lmfao
Honestly as nice as both blades were, Failure to meet parameters should have resulted is 2 Dismissals…
They should have done something that I’ve never seen on this show, “Since we have 2 Smiths that didn’t meet parameters, both of you must leave the forge”! I think that would have gotten the point across to future applicants of this show!
Welding with no gloves
He didn’t seem to happy about being sent home lol
Billy Bob and Dwight lol boomers are built different
Again, not Damascus steel, the carbon is burnt out of the steel if you don’t use charcoal and keep pounding and folding it in. Another problem is that the steel cannot be heated that much or it ruins the steel and a sword has to be quenched with olive oil.
Billeh bob
