better roll then chip the chip blade will straight break apart in your hand and it once happen to me with machete knife but with roll blade i can still field repair it really so abit dissapointed there :(
It's actually It's ok to be thrilled to leave the forge and what was the set back with his home forge he beat Bret in all test + the Salmon test so what was the set back
@@nickbutler9831 What detail? Lets look at the details like you said. Winner's blade took rolls AND a chip. Loser's took rolls. Both blade held together. Both blades performed equally in the first test. Sharpness test: Winner's lost a single slice. Loser's did every slice. Winner's grips is slippery. Loser's had grip. So... Winners: Took a chip, lost a slice, and has a slippery grip. Loser's: Was equal in all aspects except flaws, to which is actually gained 1 point ahead. But the winner's lost 3 points for details. This is just the judges literally failing their ONE job.
Also the first guys sword was chipping and Thomas's just rolled. Easy to fix with a stone. I feel like usually the judges do pic functionality over looks so maybe they just thought he was the better smith
Yeah... So often they praise and insist on intricate damascus patterns, and even what way they should be formed (in one episode at least), but we never get to see that... :D
What a fantastic effort from both gents. On a side note - there are few things as enjoyable, as watching Doug Marcaida slice and dice with a blade. NEVER gets old.
That seems kinda dumb, the guy had a minor setback and lacked detail, yet performed better than his competition and lost, over...? Detail. Sometimes you don't need to be flashy to get the job done. I'm pretty sure the whole point of this show is to see who can make a better blade, not men fashion designing weapons.
@@nickbutler9831 when I say detail, I mean refining the blade making it smooth enough to show the work and if I remember something about the handle strap was off when the judges were talking about the blade during the tests.
@@PSPTSHT the Blade of El Cid is a sword like Excalibur of King Arthur, both of them are "legendary" wepons, so i think that the design is important. But objectively, Thomas' sword was better.
That’s how salmon is pronounced in Spanish. Sal Mon. When us Spanish speakers are speaking English it is incredibly hard to switch it off since the “L” is not silent.
We're send you back to your home forge to create the galaxies most powerful weapon. The lightsaber You will have 5 days to harness the power of light and create a sword that can cut through just about anything. Good luck blacksmiths
@@rodrigogimenez-ricolaguna4913 Why would you say the Tizona? Excalibur was movie sword. Movie swords.. Then Hattori Hanzo sword wins. LOL Best Sword would be Barakas Arm sliding out blade!
You know watching this build of this sword between these two competitors to me I think it was a draw I think they should do it again a head-to-head competition to see who comes out better. I think this build was a tie they should not consider the second blade from the shop the sword still came out strong and sharp and comfortable.
Disagree with comments, brent definitely won that. Test went pretty equal and brent's sword looked way closer to the original which really counts and people ignore it
Yeah... Because all the old era sword users were like..."Your sword would be perfect for battle, if only you had dressed it with mustard." And what was with the harsh dismissal?
I love the episode where both swords perform so well that it comes down to the littlest details like whose sword is a little nicer looking. It means that they both left it out on the field & we got to see two talented artists do their thing about as well as it can be done. No shame in losing an episode like this.
They need machines to do the tests, that way every swing chop stab has the same amount of force applied, sometimes its like on one sword the take it easy and the other they go crazy on it
Honestly i was torn i felt like both blades performed near identical. The strength test although slight chips in one and both rolled its once again dead even. The handle part everyone is complaining about the "keel" guy didnt seem to care or notice so i consider that a "personal" complaint. Overall their blades were near identical in the performance and basing one guy should have won because he didnt cut through the salmon thats hanging on by a small piece isnt fair to give it to the other guy. Overall they are identical and when it comes down to that you have to go into looks and the other guy did more. I feel like either one could have been crowned and it would have made sense. The fact they thought it was so close (which it was they were pretty much identical performance and strength test) it came down to looks and i feel thats a fair thing to go by when both swords perform perfectly.
Let's see..Thomas's handle Didn't slip...his sword cut All the salmon..and he lost over eye appeal...wow.
Also his edge rolled but didn't chip. Shoulda won :(
better roll then chip
the chip blade will straight break apart in your hand
and it once happen to me with machete knife
but with roll blade i can still field repair it really
so abit dissapointed there :(
Eric Nay Thomas is the winner in our heart
Eric Nay all cuz he didn’t put the mustard on the blade
Fr, what happened to functionality over esthetics? 😭
Imagine your blade cuts better, doesn't chip, and you dont win 10 thousand dollars because you didnt put some mustard on your sword.
lol
Mustard on sword was a galaxy brain 200 IQ play
Chase Kazmer imagine you dont meet the parameters and still are eligible to test your blade
Stefano Cardenas imagine you lost and your so angry when you surrender your sword you instead stab the judge.
@@MiniNinja258 Cut all their heads off
“It’s ok to be thrilled kid”
Moments later
“Please leave the forge”
I noticed that too. lmao
he is my teacher and he is very weird he has no emotion

This is the first time in my opinion that the judges were wrong
100
Yeah and the fact that was Thomas first sword I was about to call bs
Accurate
It was supposed to be a recreation. It didn’t look like it so his performance only being slightly better didn’t make up for that.
Worng judges
Why is he dressed like a minion tho
Monion*
Bagus no I certain he meant minion?
@@matiascronshey6113 Onion
Manuel PanDavila bruh ong I was bout to say that and then I saw that your comment was on top
Bagus bruh
Bruh Thomas did way better in his cuts wtf is that
True
They said it was due to details in the build.
You are right, he did way better even though it just took him three days
@@tylercherry7424 yeah, but what detail? I cant see it

Honestly tho, I feel thomas won that one easy.
I agree
Agreed
I agree
Tie. Need to do it again
his handle wrap wasn't loose and the one on the other sword was
I thought that mustard thing is just a joke, I'm impressed lol
It's pretty cool. Thick and stays where you put it and doesnt require a protectant the way pure acid etching will. Much faster and works just as well.
@ckorpi88ify havent done it myself so i dont know. But im sure theres stuff on the internet that could tell you how to do it.
only problem is it encourages rust which i thought you did not want on swords
The winner is the other guy for me :(
well i think they both did exactly thru the test but the other guy missed the details
Joel yes but he is got a lighter sword ! With a heavier one he would have won thé second test
Also the first guys sword was chipping and Thomas's just rolled. Easy to fix with a stone. I feel like usually the judges do pic functionality over looks so maybe they just thought he was the better smith
This is why they need to show the blades up close. If we saw the craftsmanship up close we can see (or not see) where the judges are coming from
Yeah... So often they praise and insist on intricate damascus patterns, and even what way they should be formed (in one episode at least), but we never get to see that... :D
So he lost because he didn’t put condiments on his sword
Thomas’ blade didn’t chip, and had a better grip, definitely should’ve won or at least tied
What a fantastic effort from both gents. On a side note - there are few things as enjoyable, as watching Doug Marcaida slice and dice with a blade. NEVER gets old.
Hombre la representación de la Tizona... muy mejorable la verdad

Best sword I held was an ugly beast but that never mattered. it was functional and did what it was meant to do.
What detail did he lack?
@@nickbutler9831 when I say detail, I mean refining the blade making it smooth enough to show the work and if I remember something about the handle strap was off when the judges were talking about the blade during the tests.
that sword historicly was held by El Cid, a King, that's why eye appeal is important
@@PSPTSHT the Blade of El Cid is a sword like Excalibur of King Arthur, both of them are "legendary" wepons, so i think that the design is important. But objectively, Thomas' sword was better.
btw just wanted to say, Thomas Hacker is literally my science teacher....like literally
If he is, tell him he should have won. His blade performed better by a long shot.
Tell him how cool you think it is that he does this sort of thing when he isn't teaching.
Tell him he heard the "It will *keel* " from Doug, and that's an awesome reward even if he didn't win.
Sun Shower everyone said that
Stoned Wizard everyone does
First time I ever heard someone say "sal-mon" like that.
That’s how salmon is pronounced in Spanish. Sal Mon. When us Spanish speakers are speaking English it is incredibly hard to switch it off since the “L” is not silent.

I live up the road from Boaz and I have never heard of Brent or his forge, Guess I will have to go by and give him a visit
Wow these swords are just amazing... Great job Thomas!
Disagree with comments, brent definitely won that. Test went pretty equal and brent's sword looked way closer to the original which really counts and people ignore it
Chipping is worse than rolling buddy, there is no argument there
I don’t agree with the judges and Thomas’s our performed hands down
It was a setback at the home forge.
FACTS, the other dudes blade performed better.
I watch the show all the time. This is the first time I see that someone got robbed out of a win.
He didn't meet parameters -- I'm surprised they tested it
4:48 Clever camera focus on the small fire .Because Tizón basically means small fire .
No, tizón it's not a small fire. It's a half burnt stick (or log)
Yeah... Because all the old era sword users were like..."Your sword would be perfect for battle, if only you had dressed it with mustard."
And what was with the harsh dismissal?
i didn’t know looks were so important when trying to kill someone that was attacking you.. but okay..
That mustard trick is very interesting.
I love the episode where both swords perform so well that it comes down to the littlest details like whose sword is a little nicer looking. It means that they both left it out on the field & we got to see two talented artists do their thing about as well as it can be done.
No shame in losing an episode like this.
This has got to be the show with honestly the best and most respectful guests
Oh, the disrespectful ones were chopped up and fed to the pigs. They need to keep those farms running.
Wil literally calls everyone a kid, you could introduce your grandpa to Wil and he would still call him a kid.
I love the sportsmanship demonstrated in this show!
My mans really be out here dressed like a minion
Just got to thank god 🙏🏽💯
Dude I didn’t know a Minion could make a blade like that 😂
See folks, it's really important to put mustard on your sword
This is what happens when you forget the mustard
The mustard trick... never seen that one before. Nice.
I definitively lost on youtube... but I love that!
wow. this was one of the closest ive seen. congrats to both. admirable work to be sure.
not very often it comes down to the visuals but they preformed very closely.
He delivered a full functional blade and lost for a setback at home? They messed up his blade cut all the salmon
That's what it was.
I don't understand what the setback was.
When they say setback at home they mean that the other guy havent put much detail/design to the sword due to lack of time at home
Both swords are amazing.
Every time I see the fish cut, all I can think about is how I'd cook them.
good sportsmanship on the show, good vibes competition
Just came here for my daily dose of “It will keel!”
The mustard gambit paid off lol
Lets get Doug as a Mortal Kombat Character..Could you imagine "it will kill" the finish moves
Fatality
7:04 made me smile, seeing him happy about using the weapons makes me happy
This one was Thomas's. Judges, you disappointed me
Brent looks like minion 😂😂🤣
6:43 That's what she said 😂

I was waiting for the judges to comment on his blade mustard print
I just kept thinking the one dude looks like a minion with the yellow shirt and overalls 😅
Am I the only one who finds it funny when the pig gets sliced in half and hits the floor
Everybody: "salmon"
6:59
Doug: *"these sal-muns"*
He feels like a rockstar when he leaves
This is the closest one I've seen. They should have done more tests
They need machines to do the tests, that way every swing chop stab has the same amount of force applied, sometimes its like on one sword the take it easy and the other they go crazy on it
It's about how the experts feel.
Never have heard of mustard on a blade before but it did look good...lol
No one gonna mention how that guy dressed up like a minion..?
The Cid was a legendary medieval spanish warrior.
He won lots of battles against the muslims, even one after death.
This is the first time I've disagreed with the final decision
I have to remember that mustard trick for when I take up blacksmithing and forging!!!
Anyone else hear him say SAL-mon rather than SAM-mon?
That mustard thing is legit genius

Iv been watching for awhile, now, tv and online an honestly i do feel that thomas should have won that, what a great job sir, your first sword even

So putting mustard on a sword is the way to win this show?
Brent looked like a giant minion from the animation lol.
Discount "eye of the tiger" plays while fish are being cut
No need for Damascus when you have the power of the Mustard!! xD
Who else hates those “iM jUsT hErE tO sEe iF iT wEeL kEeL,” comments?
The Bud Knight hearing him say that and his look when he says it makes me wanna tape his mouth shut
Incredible close
we all came to see if WEEL KEEL
I love the edit
I tought that Thomas would win
I don't know what they took into account, but if it's for performance, the sword that lost took all the praise.
They must have cut all the shots of the detail that decided the matchup. Shame
Today's Christmas right I just realized that the guy testing the swords on the chain armour looks like santa😃😃😁
Does anyone else think they should use live pigs? 🤔
Very close indeed
„It will kill“
OH REALLYY???? I THOUGHT IT WOULD TICKLE IT🤭
I actually disagree with all the 'other guy should have won' comments completely.
Sponsored by French's. That's a $10,000 bottle of mustard.
2:00 Iooked like the dog was talking lol 😃
Why didn't Thomas win I'm so confused 🤔
Goes from almost crying to yelling in 5 seconds. Nice
Don’t let peta watch this....🤣
No one:
The guy who tries the blades:
It will keel
Love that part though😂😂
It wuil kiill
Just know that Thomas was battling a minion😂
Love the mustard idea. Looked sick.
