Forged in Fire - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So, Forged in Fire comes back tonight on the history channel. It's not history, but I don't care because it's awesome. I love weapons and even have a small collection of swords so watching people make them in a competition is pretty cool.

Does anyone else watch this show?

I watched the first season. The judges are corny, but I think it is pretty great.

Last night's episode was pretty good. The only thing I don't really like is everyone always makes a bowie. I usually cheer for whoever makes something different. I loved when the one guy from the first season made the knife from a file.

Last night though, the hammers were pretty cool. I thought the one guy making his a ram's head was a nice touch, but honestly the other, more classical one made of Damascus was nicer overall.

I would rather watch "Forged in a Cell".

I like the forging aspect of it, but I think the test should automated with some sort of machine to guarantee equal force for every strike.

Agree! The "tests" are riddled with variables.

Honestly, I trust the Asian guy to do a proper test every time since he's actually skilled. The other two don't seem to be very "physical" especially the oldest guy. I don't think they can give a proper test. Though the one guy did beat the hell out of that brick wall.

Even the greatest skill in the world does not mean equal force, angle and a handful of other variables are exactly the same each test. Even a machine is not 100% but it would be a whole lot more consistent.
