Any­one else think­ing they should make an album of swords bang­ing into wind chimes?

deep thwust

Well, if you pause at time 04:02 it is kin­da all say­ing. One blade half fin­ished, very uneven. So only thing that could shift out­come was a strenght test. Ben is just amaz­ing. But respect to both, great work in such short time.

1:14 SO COOL THIS HAS A STORE!

OH des­tined death, become my blade once more !!!

Ben has already won many com­pe­ti­tions in a row when he was a com­peti­tor and that’s why the judges have invit­ed him to be a judge. He is the best out of all judges in terms of mak­ing dif­fer­ent blades and swords.

Ben’s blade is so much more refined and visu­al­ly pleas­ing. Also, it’s light.

I TRULY dis­like the snow-dis­tor­tion effect you guys have applied to these videos as of late.

Not the most excit­ing tests on a sword

These tests aren’t as bru­tal as usual

Ben is just the most amaz­ing blade­smith. To forge that kind of a weapon with that kind of fin­ish and qual­i­ty in 8 hours is phenomenal.

2:25 why did Doug have that expres­sion XD

So this was the episode where Ben should have lost because of blade dam­age. Did any­one notice why the host didn’t announce the win­ner?? It would have been bet­ter sto­ry line if Ben lost.

I con­sid­er the rul­ing to be unrea­son­able and invalid.
Tyler’s blade may be heav­ier than Ben’s, but it did­n’t suf­fer any dam­age; unlike Ben’s blade which took defor­ma­tion dam­age.
The tests are there to deter­mine how lethal, durable and sharp the weapon is, not the weight. Tyler’s blade was suc­cess­ful all though each test; unlike Ben’s blade which did accrue dam­age. If Tyler’s com­ple­tion score was a 10, then Ben’s was a 9.9. Rea­son­ably. And, because Tyler was fac­ing off against a tal­ent­ed blade­smith who pro­duces pri­mar­i­ly his­tor­i­cal blades, I would say that con­sid­er­ing the dif­fer­ence in skills and pref­er­ences in smithing: Tyler came out on top by every pre­sent­ed stan­dard of the judges.

It is my rea­son­able belief that the judges showed a bias pref­er­ence in favor of Ben; even though the blade pre­sent­ed by Tyler was clear­ly supe­ri­or by every required standard.

OH MY GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD thick Amer­i­cans and what they watch on TV.

4:23 @ .25 speed is awesome

Fac­ing ben is an instant loss

The judges laugh­ing at a con­tes­tant. Why don’t they show us how they can do with the same mate­r­i­al and time. Come on judges. show us how good you are.
