Bladesmith STUNS Judges with Epic Work | Forged in Fire (Season 3)

Four bladesmiths must create a blade out of high carbon steel while also forging the hammer they'll use to make it in this scene from Season 3, Episode 4, "THE FALCATA."

#ForgedInFire

"Forged in Fire" features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of history's most iconic edged weapons.

Frank's dog-head hammer is simple and good, but Kelly's hammer is the most hammer-like of all. Kelly was the champion in this episode, but she's also the champion of hammer making.

[samanthaleo]

Kelly is one of my favorite champions from this entire series. Woman is a beast.

Frank was that guy in High School that finished his tests first, but ended up with a C-.

[DiscGolfJESUS]

Kelly won the episode. Cause she's a great smith and she's a Ferrier for her job. So she's no stranger to a hammer. ;)

[Zedja]

He stopped working early confident in his work and got eliminated. However, even if he didn't stop there was nothing he would be able to do to fix those cracks.

Kelly is a gifted blades smith. She definitely knows how to forge a hammer, too. I also noticed that the belt she was wearing is a Nocona brand, I have one just like it, only with a different buckle. Was so cool that she won in that episode.

Kelly's Falcata, Burt Foster's Shotel, and Travis Wuertz's Viking sword are some of the best looking weapons in the whole series and all early seasons.

Kelly was a beast and a true artist, definitely a master of her craft👍🏼🤩🫡❤️

The likely reasons for the numerous cracks in Frank's blade are that the material was stretched with great pressure without being heated sufficiently inside, and that it was stretched in alternating 90-degree directions with too big pressure. The cracks caused by these factors appear when the material is polished. When using thick materials, it is necessary to stretch them little by little. The program staff, knowing this, must have deliberately asked the contestants to complete the task, including using thick materials and making their own hammers, in just three hours. This is a huge stress for the contestants.

kelly's falcata in strengh text:don't be soft of garbage, just be good
kill text:because i'm much more fun when i'm normal kelly.that's so much fun when she say that🤣

[chuckbangers]

I'm surprised they let Frank slide on the hammer. The rule said they had to "forge" the hammer, which he didn't. They've disqualified contestants before for not meeting that parameter.

It's Forged in Fire, not Welded in Fire.

What happened to the full episodes posted every Friday?

We're taking away all but 3 coals, the anvils are now pillows, your bellows are full of holes and the rusty tin cans you see here need to be two-handed broadswords in 10 minutes...GO!

Hello everyone from Diamond Complex Fire here in Oregon!!

[Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Frank just smiled the entire time 😂 it's too bad we didn't get to see more Frank

[robreneau]

I've had a lot of favorites throughout Forged in Fire, but Kelly was one of the most memorable.

[DIDYOUSEETHAT]

5:28 Its good to be confident, I only see clips here, however as a forger I would never stop inspecting and touching up until the final bell. In the world yes, I would reach a point, get out of the shop, then go back and inspect before moving on tot he next step. 10 to 1 he is the one to go home!

It's a great show, but this is a real BS click-bait title for this video.

[Kualinar]

Frank's blade may just shatter into dozens of pieces during the strength test. Maybe he worked his steel a bit to cool, maybe his heat treat was to aggressive. It's hard to tell.

[Tareltonlives]

Confidence is powerful but it can lead to hubris
