  • Wayne, Mark, congratulations.

  • You fellas have made it into the final round

  • of this competition.

  • Now we're sending you back to your home forges

  • to recreate an iconic weapon from history.

  • And that weapon is--

  • Show me a falchion.

  • WIL WILLIS: --a falchion.

  • Yeah.

  • Ah-ha-ha, yeah.

  • Good luck.

  • We'll see you in four days.

  • We made it back.

  • Welcome to Pirate Forge.

  • I've done my research.

  • And back in the day, the armor was getting tougher,

  • you know, thicker leather, introduction

  • of chainmail and whatnot.

  • So they needed something that was going

  • to cut, and chop with the strength of an ax

  • but still be wielded like a sword.

  • And that's when the falchion was born.

  • My plan for the design on this, I'm going to go

  • with the Damascus pattern.

  • What I want to do is make two solid billets that we draw out,

  • cut and restack to make the one billet for the falchion.

  • This is really taking a long time.

  • And this is a lot more work than I thought it was going to be.

  • Hammering out and setting forge welds on such monster billets,

  • I've definitely forgot how difficult that was.

  • I mean, if I would have used a monostill billet,

  • I could have already had this falchion forged.

  • MARK: We're here back in my home forge

  • in South Burlington, Vermont.

  • Boom.

  • I think that four days is tight.

  • Man, 3/8 cinch is no joke.

  • The falchion has this swell that really

  • gives a lot of forward weight that

  • makes it great for chopping.

  • So I have to figure out where I want to put in this swell

  • and how to hammer it out.

  • So thin.

  • I finally get this swell drawn out.

  • And it is just way too thin.

  • And I'm not even close to three inches.

  • I'm pretty nervous about the structural stability

  • of what I'm making.

  • Ugh.

  • So I am just going to start on a second swell.

  • I'm giving up on this flare, because it's just too thin.

  • And I still have enough metal back here to make it work.

  • What I realized is that the first time,

  • I wanted to move the metal completely horizontally

  • from spine to edge.

  • And the way that I was doing it was moving some of the metal

  • lengthwise and enough of the metal lengthwise

  • that it just got too thin.

  • I put into practice what I learned

  • in making the first swell.

  • It's already going a lot better, a lot faster,

  • and getting a lot wider without getting as

  • thin as it did the first time.

  • That's it for day one.

  • WAYNE: It's day two.

  • Best case scenario, we get this sucker drawn out.

  • We get it quenched.

  • It comes out looking great.

  • Never quenched a blade this big, I don't

  • know what's going to happen.

  • About to make this thing change into a real sword.

  • This is a special momentous occasion.

  • I was so inspired by this blade I was like,

  • there should be a falchion song.

  • [playing guitar]

  • (SINGING) It was born of blood and war.

  • Half ax, yet have sword.

  • You'll surely lop off your head.

  • I just made me a falchion.

  • There she is.

  • A blade has been born.

  • That blade came out super straight as an arrow.

  • Fantastic.

  • Looks like those candles and all the stuff we did,

  • sure enough worked.

  • MARK: The morning of day two, and I'm

  • going to start on my cross guard.

  • I only have one piece of brass that I can try this with.

  • So I'm hoping to get it right on the first try.

  • The fittings are a huge part of this and getting all of that

  • to just really fit tightly, snugly, be comfortable

  • in the hand is going to be hopefully where I'm

  • able to win this competition.

  • Should be good enough.

  • Let's do this.

  • Feeling good about the blade going in the last day.

  • My only concern is just getting the weight

  • where it needs to be.

  • It's a little bit heavy.

  • I went ahead and decided, we're going for fuller.

  • I don't have a whole lot of time left.

  • I'm going to have to be very strategic in everything

  • I do today.

  • I feel so accomplished.

  • You know, for four days, pulling off

  • a blade this big with the Damascus pattern,

  • with the fit and finish that I on it,

  • I couldn't be any happier.

  • It's the dawn of the final day.

  • I was able to get the blade quenched and tempered.

  • Perfect.

  • Now it's time to grind, shape, and glue.

  • This has been a bunch of firsts for me, first on length, first

  • on a guard, first on a pommel.

  • It's just non-stop firsts.

  • I know that there are some steps that I rushed.

  • But for a four-day build, I'm pretty happy with this.

  • All right, bladesmiths, this is the kill test.

  • To find out what kind of lethal damage

  • your weapon will do according to its historic design,

  • I will try to cut this big carcass in half.

  • Wayne, you are first. Are you ready for this.

  • Absolutely.

  • [metal music playing]

  • Oh man.

  • One and done.

  • Whoa now.

  • All right, Wayne.

  • Your falchion is beautiful.

  • It is sharp.

  • And it cut through the spine and all the way through the pig.

  • It's a little bit heavier for a one-handed weapon,

  • but it is well balanced.

  • Overall sir, it will kill.

  • Awesome.

  • All right, Mark.

  • Your turn, sir.

  • Are you ready?

  • Let's give it a shot.

  • [metal music playing]

  • All right, Mark.

  • Let's talk about your falchion here.

  • It's a nice, lighter blade.

  • Your edges are sharp enough to cut through spine.

  • But the problem I have here is your guard.

  • Your edges here are not rounded.

  • They dig in right here where the thumb is.

  • But your blade, sir, it will kill.

  • Thank you.

  • All right gentlemen.

  • To test the strength and overall construction of your blades,

  • I'll be attacking our armored dummy here.

  • This test is not about what your swords do to that armor,

  • it's about what that armor does to your swords.

  • Wayne, you're up.

  • You ready?

  • Let's do it.

  • [metal music playing]

  • Woo.

  • First off, Wayne, your edge has taken some small chips

  • and small rolls.

  • But it's very, very minor damage.

  • There's still a sharp edge here.

  • All in all, it held up beautifully.

  • All right.

  • Thank you.

  • So Mark, I got to ask.

  • What's with the shirt?

  • I got married in this shirt actually.

  • It's, you know, it's my formal wear.

  • All right.

  • Well, you ready for the test?

  • I am.

  • OK.

  • [metal music playing]

  • Not bad.

  • All right.

  • So first off, the blade is still solid.

  • You did get some minor rolling.

  • But the blade still has an edge.

  • Down here's the problem.

  • Your guard, these edges are not just square, they're sharp.

  • But the blade held up.

  • Good job.

  • Thank you.

  • All right, bladesmiths, now it's

  • time to find out if there's any sharpness left to your weapons.

  • To test the edge of your weapon, I'm

  • going to cut through this gauntlet of sandbags.

  • Wayne, you are first.

  • You ready for this?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • [metal music playing]

  • All right, Wayne.

  • Your weapon is sharp.

  • On every swing, it cuts and slashes nicely.

  • And most importantly, aside from being smurfed, it will cut.

  • Awesome.

  • All right, Mark, it's your turn.

  • You ready? - I am.

  • MAN: Let's have fun.

  • [metal music playing]

  • All right, Mark.

  • As you can see, on both of these bags, it cut deeply.

  • On the second bag, on the swing back over there,

  • it must have hit a dull spot.

  • It did rip parts of the bag, but it didn't cut all the way in.

  • But overall, it is sharp, and it will cut.

  • Yeah.

  • WIL WILLIS: Wayne, Mark, it was a tight decision.

  • Wayne, congratulations.

  • You're the "Forged in Fire" champion.

  • Mark, unfortunately, your blade didn't make the cut.

  • Now, Mark, you made good blades, no doubt about that.

  • But the big problem is mainly your guard.

  • Not rounding off those sections, those sharp corners

  • will bite into the user's hand.

  • And if a weapon's going to hurt a user,

  • they're not going to use it.

  • Please surrender your weapon and leave the forge.

  • MARK: From start to finish, this whole thing

  • was a learning process for me, and I honestly

  • think I have gotten years worth of experience and feedback

  • in just a short time.

  • - Great job, man. - [inaudible]

  • You, too.

  • This experience was life-changing.

  • Wayne, congratulations, you are

  • one badass, everlasting bladesmith and our new "Forged

  • in Fire" champion.

  • Good job, brother.

  • Yeah!

  • Yes!

  • [chuckles]

  • WAYNE: Yeah!

  • Please, at this time, present your blade to our judges.

  • So I did it!

  • Man, I wanted it!

  • Next for me, I'm going to get back on the same thing that's

  • led me to this point, which is just

  • non-stop going full throttle.

  • And I'm just going to keep pushing.

  • I'm going to keep [inaudible] better and better.

  • [music playing]

Wayne, Mark, congratulations.
