What happened to Will
Best show on tv
What happened to will?
I was shocked you guys presented our beloved most important and respected Muslim fighter with this respect, this is one of my best show, Beautiful Salah Eddin swords made by Bryan and Walter good job guys.
Forged and fire episod are live in 2020
I appreciate everyone’s praise. I was the second place contestant. I gained so much more from appearing on this show than any money could buy. I met wonderful people and was able to prove some things to myself, beyond bladesmithing. As a human being I have improved from this experience. I believe the decision was correct and I commend Walters work. Pertaining to the text I inscribed on the blade, with the limited time I had and not being fluent in either Kurdish or Arabic as well as not having weeks to study the subject I found several interpretations of the mans name and used the common denominator. Which as it turns out I’m told is in fact correctly written in Kurdish. I did my best with the time I had... thank you everyone please enjoy the show for what it is... entertainment.
Always wanted to be a blacksmith
Both of those blades were singing through that rug. Some of the sound may been post production, but I think they both were ringing
God bless you sir ❤️
I LOVED YOUR SWORD MORE TBH♥

@Everything Shorts Heartless? Who??

@@chefmertt Saladin, at the horns of hattin he taunted the crusaders by having his men go up to the line and pour water into the sand, plus he sold the entire crusader army into slavery and executed one of the commanders of the crusader force for a charge that almost reached him.
I don't get how people love to glorify him for retaking Jerusalem, he said he would have murdered every Christian in the city once it fell had the garrison leader not threatened to do the same to the Muslims and burn the city to the ground so Saladin couldn't have it

The sword that took back Jerusalem
It was a straight sword. Curved sword which is just slightly curved not this curved. Used by the Turks contingent in Saladin’s army. Saladin as a Kurds himself and related to Persian those days were using straight swords.
Where is that sword, gotta get Jerusalem again from the bank.
Yeah but not for the jews
Now u could take back 2 jarusalems
@@alohasnackbar3544 That's what my research encountered also, the Shamshir (by appearance) is the blade they designed, which is from Persia (Iran) and the sword of Saladin (Egyptian) is less curved, and more straight.
The sharpeness test kinda hurt because I liked those rugs.
Same
RIGHT!? Was about to rant about that myself, but here you were at the top of the comments. They totally could have used beige shag carpet, like what the heck I want those!
Those are the common rugs in Egypt nowadays 😅
It really tied the room together.
The rugs were nice but the ring from the second blade sounded amazing.
Utmost respect to the great honorable King Saladin!
I love close episodes like this. It's terrific that neither of these smiths made an error or suffered an accident that forced them to turn in poor blade. Catastrophic failures are car-crash fun to watch, but it's far more satisfying to see two quality weapons put through their paces.
The close contests make for the best contests.
It’s even better when they bring back the guys who were so close like this for second chances cause they usually prove that they should of had it
Definitely
Thank you very much!
Not using pigs was an amazing nod to the swords history. Well Done 👍
Hats off. Good gesture
This is one of those episodes that ...you hate there has to be a loser... Both were great!
I actually would wonder if there was an episode where they just had to announce it was a draw. A tie. Both weapons being equally amazing to wield, and they share the 5k to both finalists.
The only loser is the ram....
There’s a small detail i really respect about this show , the carcasses they used it wasn’t pigs , they replaced it with ram and it’s so respectful and it made me like the show more🤍
A sword that sings when it cuts..... Beautiful in sight and sound...
Hazrat Sultan Salah ud din Ayubi is a legend. He carry out all his riegn with great justice love care and respect not only for muslim but also for non muslims. Even today there are christians who praise Hazrat Salah ud din for his love bravery valour and tge values he posses. He was one of the true representator of what Islam really teaches us. Thnk u
Yeah, the guy who is replacing Will doesn't cut it as a presenter.
O.K. I'll see myself out now.....
Why is he replacing him?
He is not being replaced, he is just busy being dad because he’s had a kid.
Glad I'm not the only one. Actually why I was going through comments, lol.
im done with this show now.
@@to0ki relax. wil will be back. hes just taking care of his kids
Respect to that guy..he didn't use a pig for the test👍
They should give at least 500$ to the second guy, both swords were good, and also they basically keep his sword!
They always let them keep the swords after, it's just theatre.
@@msrlapin99 ^ Yeah the losers always get their weapons back. The only weapon they keep is the winners.
@@battlefieldelite1 Bryan could probably bring home well over $500 for that sword on Ebay. Or hang it in a place of pride in his own forge. No matter what, he can definitely point to this episode to help boost his own business if he makes knives professionally.
@@msrlapin99 Really? I didn't know that!
@@msrlapin99 Actually No, the winners weapon is kept to remain in a "winners hall of fame", the "hall" itself is off frame because the collection has gotten large, but they pull a handful out of the hall to hang around the judges table for each episode. The losers weapons can be seen strewn around the walls of the forge. I know all this because I actually wanted to try the competition, and researched it. What made you guys come to your assumptions? I barely care but I am baffled by the incorrect assumptions I'm seeing here, like the idea of all the losers get their weapons back, why do you think there's so many familiar looking weapons hung around the forge? Why would they either 1; have all past contenders ship their weapons back for decor each episode, or 2; recreate an identical copy of DOZENS of unique mishaps. Both options taking many hours and THOUSANDS of wasted dollars. The best thing to do and WHAT THEY DO, is keep the products of every contestant that enters, and give the winner 10k, it's not complicated. I've now said what needed to be said.

I really appreciate they dont use pigs for this sword in particular.
Good point!
Why???
@@nigelmaccuver9122 muslim origins
Lol. They should have.
@@toddedwards1371 Get bent. I found it really respectful of them. Plus, rams are much, much tougher to cut through than domesticated pigs, especially for a sword of this style.
A beautiful sword the sword of Saladin is. Truly legendary. As much as the man Saladin himself wielded. As evidence by his statue of him as stated in the video in Damascus.
3:24 IK he wrote "صلاح الدين الأيوبي " but where was it on the blade or the handle and I really LOVE him for doing it in Arabic I really appreciate it . My real name is actually Salaheldin so this video means alot to me
My name is salahedin
Thank you very much!
It’s a shame that the sword of the sultan of Egypt and Damascus is not made of Damascus steel
Damascus*
Well, modern Damascus is generally done to replicate the final patterns that were on the finished steel products back in the old Damascus but I think they're different methods, and by now I think we've made tougher pieces of steel so using them is as practical as saladin would have liked
That’s true but these guys only had a few days to make those, give a proper smith a month and you’d get the Damascus steel one
A misnomer since Damascus steel making was invented in South India
Because Damascus Steel did not originate in Damascus. Common misconception.
Al-Nasir Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb Always legend ☝🏻❤️💥⭐🌙
I am not those men, I am Salahuddin, Salahuddin !
The actual sword of Saladin almost 100% did not look like any of those. That type of sword is more of the Ottoman or Persian style of the 14th century onward. It wasn’t until after the Mongol/Turkic invasion and influence much later that Middle Eastern swords began to be curved. Prior to that the vast majority were straight swords.
All that being said these gentlemen did an outstanding job
Not sure what your sources are but it is well documented the Abbasids had curved swords in the 9th Century and Salahudin lived in the 12 Century. Btw Abbasids were neather Persian nor Ottomon.
While it is true that the Arabs during the Early Muslim conquests of the 7th and 8th century, and up until the end of the Umayyad Caliphate, used a straight longsword similar in design to the Greek Xiphos (yet still marginally unique), by Saladin's time, the curved blades of the Turks had become the norm, especially as they were mostly used for fighting on horseback.
An interesting trivia is that Arabic has over a hundred names for the term sword (that I know of) yet the most common one is Saif (سيف) which is very close to the prononciation of the Greek Xiphos.
The sound 6:56 !!! Is just the best in this Episode!!!!! You won already dude
I clicked this and got an ad 😅
@@loknathshankar5423 lol
This has to be the best winner reaction on the show. Was so sure he lost but actually won. Just shows how close this battle was.
You bought that?
@@johnnymcblaze it was genuine!🤷🏼♂️
The fit and finish of both these swords are some of the best I've seen on the show so far.
I like how the judge says “your weapon will ”. Both are great scimitars.
“Their hides are as tough as leather” hmm
Who's gonna tell him
"ah yes the floor is made out of floor"
Technically leather is tanned hide. So the comparison is kind of correct. I´d take it as a figure of speech though.
@@maxlutz3674 And the tanning process generally makes the skin much tougher. So saying the skin is tough as leather makes perfect sense to anyone who knows what the tanning process can do.
I hope Wil is having a good time with his family, but I hope he'll return soon. I never really watched for Wil but him having a stand-in really makes me realize how good he was. It especially threw me off when the new guy just told the loser to leave and didn't offer a handshake or anything (maybe cause of covid?) Also, Dave Baker really seemed like he didn't want either of them to lose with how much he complemented the loser's blade
The lack of handshake is purely because of COVID. Notice that during the testing, the competitors are also standing apart. You can tell about when COVID started to become a situation during the filming of S8 because the work in the FiF forge people are closer together, but then a bunch of the testings the contestants are further apart and there's no handshakes, then eventually everything including the stuff in FiF's forge is shot with everyone apart.
I thought Brian would win solely based on the fact that he inscribed that arabic along the spine.
It will it will cut, it will smash and most importantly it will "keel"..❤️❤️
The amount of people getting angry over the "new" host is ridiculous all that matters is the weapons will keel.
The sound of his blade slicing the rug is deadly.
those rugs were beautiful damnit
Really Missing Will ...
Don’t worry, he will be back. He’s just had a kid, so he is busy being dad, but he deserved a break after all the hard effort he put into forged in fire.
You’re never disappointed with the judge’s decision, it’s always right, both blades are awesome but the winners curvature was more true to Saladin’s real sword.
Surprising how such a light blade cut so well and still held in one piece.
went to school with Walter. Deserves this so much always a humble and great person congrats.
It's so great u know this guy !! I don't know why i'm happy 😄
No one:
Subtitles: Bladesmiths, welcome to the keel test.
I feel bad for Brian. He did an amazing job!
Why did i read it like : i feel bad for brain😂
Thank you!
I am so happy to see muslim leader's weapons in this competition.
His full name was Salahuddin Ayubi.
Please add Sword Zulfiqar of Ali(R.A) in this competition
@UCrq--jbZAIN2ijLpW3ED0kg no, zulfiqar was a twin sword joined as one with two faces
One thing for sure i would love to see the swords Al battar and Al ma’thur and these were swords used by the prophet Muhammad and al battar the sword of the prophets has the names David Solomon Moses Aaron Joshua zechariah John Muhammad and Jesus inscribed in Arabic and it also has a drawing of king David cutting of the head of the giant Goliath and the blade of the sword has a length of 101 centimeters and it is also claimed that this sword will be used by Jesus when he returns to earth to defeat the anti christ Dajjal but al ma’thurs blade length is 99 centimeters and the handle is made of gold in the shape of two serpents and is encrusted with emeralds and turquoise and near the handle is an inscription saying the name of Muhammad’s father but among other swords that belonged to Muhammad other three famous swords are Al Adb which means cutting or sharp and Al Qadib and this sword was 100 centimeters in length with a scabbard of dyed animal hide and on the Side of the sword in silver is the inscription there is no god but god Muhammad the apostle of god and this sword wasn’t used in battle but instead it was used as a sword of defense or companionship for a traveler and among the most famous blades of Muhammad had to be the sword Zulfiqar which was taken as botty by Muhammad at the battle of badr and it is reported that Muhammad gave the sword to Ali the fourth caliph of the rashidun Calliphate and that Ali returned from the battle of Uhud covered with blood from his hands to his shoulders
@Shawn Sharp yeah, absolutely
well u shouldn't because such appreciation to the weapon should've been done by his own region not these guys
@Shawn Sharp ok boomer ... first of al my comment wasn't directed to you or else I'd mention u like this @Shawn Sharp secondly I'd gladly like to hear about your years fighting and where they were .
also a matter of fact we middle easterns already recognise swords and symbolise them in our flags and military ranks
“Great sword bro, but unfortunately you’re gonna have to gtfo”
Bruh
Agree.. they could give something for the 2nd in very close decision
🅱️ruh
🤣🤣🤣
I love it when he says your weapon will keeelllll😂
This certainly was a close race. I was thinking the same thing as David before I heard him say it. Awesome competition. The jade colored wood with the acid etched fittings was very pleasing to the eyes.
The Kurds raised such a leader that even their enemies admired her.
Doug when he saw the new host : "where is our weeeel?"
Fun fact: first sword carved the name of Salah Al Din Ayubbi in Kurdish not Arabic
They should have split the prize, well done to both candidates.
couldn't agree more. both did an outstanding job and the blades performed great on the tests.
Very proud that Saladin was from my country
I really wish they had two 10000 cheques
For a piece like that to have good weight distribution and no handle problems, is exceptional. This episode was great.
The smiths were great. But the design of the weapon is also so great which made the weapon perform so well
I like that they use 🐐 for this sword really appreciate that
The best competitive episode I have ever seen!!! They’re getting better and better, tighter and tighter. This eighth season of forged in fire is better than even season seven, season six, season five, season four, season three, season two, and season one!!
The writing on the sword is actually written in Kurdish language and saladin was actually kurdish man 😏
Salahuddin Ayyubi, may Allah’s blessings be upon his soul, is a legendary name in Islamic history and conquest. Very cool episode, thank you for posting it.
I love how they even honor and respect king Saladin by using a ram and not a pig (pork) because he was Muslim
Bryan did sorta an anime exit with that back turned thumbs up.
That smile is killing me
i will buy the inscirpted saladin sword for 1,000. if only they put these on bids
Unfortunately it is inscribed on the pronunciation of saladin in English; like he dissected the word into "suh luh deen" and then inscribed the translation to these sounds so it's basically a deconstructed "suh luh deen" written in arabic instead of "salah al-din" which was his name in arabic.
It's a pretty decent attempt and I like that he did it, moreover I appreciate that he had the ability to inscribe the sounds and decorations without taking from the quality of his sword
@ 7:01 you can hear the harmonic vibration of the sword... Dude made a legendary 'singing sword'!!!
Great duel, would love to see this both battling again
They are both good blacksmiths.
I would like to see Bryan come back for a second chance. Beautiful sword.
….😁…..oh I intend to….😊
Salauddin ayubi is one of my favourite leader and commander .
wow the talent of the bladesmiths has gotten so friking high that its mesmerizing. Excellent show and excellent talent presented!
Did you see the episode that tested a spike shield? Homeboy put a spike and an in-built gauntlet on his. Other dude had like, zero chance of winning.
That handle is a piece of art by itself
Closest competition I’ve seen so far, testing wise.
Waste of Egyptian rugs. Beautiful swords to say the least!!
You think you can pierce that templar knight armor they was so big and scary until this sword Damascus cut through his stell armored like a paper work in desk 😮
Christ, they didn't even peel the goat for this one
Why would they peel it? They don't do that for any of the animals.
That winning blade was singing. Amazing work.
Man this was the toughest one

Best sword by the best and most noble military leader in history!
This show is at its best when both weapons are stellar.
One of the closest🔥🔥🔥
Sultan Salahuddin al Ayubi may his soul rest in internal peace. Noteworthy fact, he and vast majority of his army were schooled in the greatest Sufi spiritual school in Baghdad.
One of the most satisfying episode ever, almost a draw
Sultan Salahudin Sword 🔥🖤
Sword so sharp one can only imagine how a fight between samurai shogun and Saladin would go
Imagine a confrontation between a desert Arab sword of Arab ancestors who can cut a camel in one fell swoop into two halves and a samurai
@@الهاشمي-القرشي nope real arab sword aka saif cannot do that, nor shamshir and killij could do that. Those swords sharpness will reduced and It will break. Samurai did have good sword like tachi and katana, but their sword will suffered the same when they cut hard object.
Saladin sword are different than what we see in the video, the video are showing shamshir the Persian sword, when Saladin ruled the West Asia, he used Saif the original Arab sword before they abandoned It later after exposed by Persian and Turks.
@@vidarodinson5246 The swords of the Arabs before Islam used to divide the camel into two halves, and this is enough alone, and the sword of Zulfiqar was curved like a saw with two heads, and this is according to historical sources in mentioning the sword Ali
@@vidarodinson5246 There is no comparison between the ancient Arab sword, which divides and cuts the camel in half, in the days of ignorance, and between the Japanese swords, which resemble Damascene swords and their metals
Not gonna lie Brian's sword looked really cool especially with that emerald handle
This one had me debating with myself. God thats too close for a nonexpert to call
Both of these swords were incredible, but I agree with the decision. The longer taper off to the curve on the winner's sword looks better aesthetically.
It's always heartbreaking to see a dang near perfect sword lose. I know at the end of the day there can only winner, but man, that's got to be tough.
well, there's an anecdote on the combat between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart through which both kings decide to show their superiority to each other by demonstrating the power of their swords. First Richard the Lionheart brought his massive, giant size sword out of its shield and thrust it into a rock, the rock split in two with a loud crack. In the next step, Saladin command to bring him a pillow and just gently put his curved sword from the edge on the pillow; in the surprise of everyone the pillow tore apart by a clean cut due to the sharpness of the sword's blade. obviously there's a metaphorical meaning in this anecdote, pointing to a fundamental cultural difference between the two civilization: the West and the East. the west representing masculinity and the east representing the feminine stream of life, although both play a complementary role for each other.
How classy of them to respect the blade owner's religion and use a ram carcass instead of the usual pig carcass..
I respect them for that.
Wow Steve Rogers is hosting forged i fire
Its just a good design for a cavalry sword. The Lamy nib of swords.
This was one of the closest competitions. Both are extremely talented bladesmiths well done to them both!
It's not Saladin's sword.During the time of Saladin Muslims mostly used the Saif sword. Which was straight. Not curved. The curved Shamshir (scimitar) was introduced to the middle east by Turks and Mongols who came from Central Asia. The early Muslims never used curved swords.
You have to visit the swords of the Prophet in the museum before distorting the truth, knowing that the sword of Zulfiqar is enough to expose the lie of the Arab-Mongolian swords, although the Mongols and Turks are the tails of the Chinese and Arabs
@@الهاشمي-القرشي Fake Ottoman relics.
@@markduck4592 The Ottomans are the tails and followers of the Arab-Islamic civilization thanks to the Arabs and their presence in Asia Minor
