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

It is always the ones with the most pride 😂

[blckspdr]

Oh the irony, from what that guy said in the beginning xD

[aaronfurman]

"Gabriel, your hamon line is as BS as you are, and for that reason, we are going to have to ask you to surrender your blade and exit the forge"

[rick]

Clear example of how overconfidence leads to half-assed work and inevitable faillure. Always act like it is your first time and take every precaution.

I miss the days where they would show their thoughts on the weapons in more detail before the elimination.

[isaaclacoba]

i am 40 seconds into the video. I already know who's going to lose

[TheRandomTeamMate]

Equivalent of kids who say "I watch anime i can fight".

[paydn]

bro watched that 5 hour video of the old school japanese men making a sword lmao. he embodied it

[moseshorowitz]

Anyone who has ever seen an episode of Iron Chef knows that a Japanese master of his craft is humble, saying little more than, "I will do my best".

[Jason-W]

Every time a person brags in this show, they go home.

[Durwood]

It's interesting that the guy they were criticizing for not using clay turned in the best blade.

[kukualoo]

ahhaha. The "just do it" guy had the best blade while the "Just a piece of cake guy" got eliminated.

[dr_]

You could say Gabriel wasnt in Harmony with his forge

[simonphoenix]

Hey did you eat breakfast yet?

"As someone who's trained as a Japanese swordsmith..."

[metal--babble]

Gabriel was brought back for a redemption. He made a vicious blade a kickass battle sword to win the show. Nice work G

[bobbyharrison]

He went in there even wairing a bloody bandana as well 😂

[Scrapla]

Buddy thought he had it in the bag and claimed it was going to be a piece of cake lol

[OhioCruffler]

And he didn't learn a darned thing. "It was too subtle for the judges, they didn't understand the Japanese aesthetic".
No, you screwed it up.

[Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Wil looks like someone who would reluctantly work alongside the Punisher

[Slay_No_More]

Daves blade looked manufactured, that's crazy.
