African weapons…will keeel!
The “Idà” is my people’s sword!!!😁
25:54 he looked so sad 🥺🥺🥺
Found what I believe to be a African Kuba Ceremonial Hatchet,if Forge of Fire can help find me a certified appraiser,it is definitely handmade and very old
Imagine if they continued the tests even with the broken blades. “Well, I don’t see any blade here but I’m sure if it was there it would cut so.. good job.”
Nice referencing the Ashantis
very mad at the intro not knowing if his blade will KEEEEEEEEL :/ cut off the good part
I love the show. Really. Altough I have a problem with 1 thing. Every time they ask.… Are you ready? (Come on. They Just stand there. What’s not to be ready by Just standing there?)
I am a big fan of history and everything that includes weapons and armory. You know thing is about those strength tests 💪 they wanna how indestructible it can withstand without damage or cracks to the sword.
I think its part they didn’t know or been left out.🤔😬😰
It wheel keal
Have you ever tried Mandau from Kalimantan Indonesia? or are there Indonesian people who follow this event?
нет хунга-мунги и победил не тот за кого я болел
I believe that big guy handling the second sword could disembowel people with tic-tacs.
Nice„„„„„ super
Good job„„, bro
The best„„„ bro
love your program and try hard not to miss any episodes, however, whoever does the subtitles, is definitely not an english speaking person and makes dreadful mistakes
Words you never want to hear from the judges heavy blade or uncomfortable handle.
“Deep into his BOWELS”
‑Doug Marcaida
It’s Mareko? The name of the first winner? The one that Doud looked in love? 😂
24:50 looks cool as a small axeish kinda weapon
if in malaysia, people don’t make goats like this because the price is expensive and famous in malaysia, goats like this
Josh is such a gentleman.
Americans…grown adults playing dress ‑ups…What is wrong with these people?
Can someone make a compilation of Doug saying “It will Keal”
It will keal
2:55 The Sanguise definitely seems like it’s the African equivalent of a mall ninja blade. It looks awesome, but it’s very impractical and prone to failure.
Ballistics dummies are the coolest way to destroy something expensive on purpose
most single hand swords are not made to cut through animal bones ( unlike two handed swords ), they should use something equal to a human leg / arm bone.
I think the test where they bend the blade is not realistic as the edge is the striking part not the flat of the sword.
Since when is Ogun Greek? 26 seconds in..I suspect the truth test on FIF is not sharp at all.
Never knew Brett Farve was a bladesmith!
Your Macracka…
Greta Thunberg: How dare you!?
What do you say to someone who offers you an Ida you don’t want?
Ida no
I love the disparity between all the competitors, like you got guys that look like they walked out of West Virginia, typical nerds, military vets, Ren fair folk and then you have a kid who looks like he plays Peter Pan on Broadway vs an Out and Proud Dr. Robotnik.
0:13 The Ida
7:07 The Kabyle Flissa
14:30 The Macraca
20:47 The Singezey
27:12 The Acraphina
Please correct my spelling.
Thank you to Neil Rezgui.
Why did dude look like a killer barbarian the whole episode until At 31:53 he turned into a losing keebler elf!😂😂😂😂
Daniel u can lose ur finger wielding that
You, sir, are the Forced and Fired Champion™
How can you say a blade will cut when it can’t cut threw a couple ropes
Am actually a berber and its the first time I’ve heard of this weapon, its nice to discover new things.
Morocco 🇲🇦💪🏻
Why did they show “OGUN” as a white Greek dude 🤦🏾♂️😂
The Ida is a really cool weapon. I see the same design from the West Coast. Was that brought by the Bantu in the first Milennium across the continent?
African People Are Serious Warriors 🔥🦁☀️
25:28 that was such cold “oh yeah”
You forgot about the “Nemcha” which is so old in Morocco and trAce back to the old empires that conquered Spain.
That Norse looking guys acrafena blade looks as authentic as it gets🎉
