  • WIL WILLIS: Blade smiths, congratulations.

  • You made it through a really brutal round of testing.

  • And now here you are, that much closer to being

  • "Forged in Fire" champions.

  • Well, now we're sending you back to your home forges

  • to recreate this iconic weapon.

  • Ready to see what it is?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • [ninja sounds]

  • Yah!

  • The nine ring broadsword.

  • Good luck, blade smiths.

  • We'll see you in four days.

  • Thank you.

  • Good luck.

  • BURTON: It's day one here at the home forge.

  • I don't really have much experience making something

  • this big or this wide.

  • The plan for today is I've got to get to the end of the sword

  • drawn out quite a ways.

  • I'm going to use 1080 steel.

  • Nice big heavy bar of it.

  • 1080 is nice, hard steel that's forgiving for heat

  • treatment in an open forge.

  • Let her start warming up.

  • I'm doing most of the work on the press.

  • My plan is, just to kind of get it

  • worked out a little bit here.

  • Just trying to break that down and spread it out.

  • Heat her back up.

  • It has to be a minimum of two and a half

  • to four inches from the tip.

  • So I'm going to go for three, that way I've

  • got a little bit of movement to do any tweaks

  • I need to after heat-treat.

  • I'm halfway there, maybe.

  • Yeah, tip's coming right in there now.

  • It's starting to take shape of a sword.

  • That's it for day one.

  • We are at my home forge.

  • I start forging the blade today.

  • And I'm looking to have it fully forged hopefully midday

  • tomorrow to where I can start doing some grinding.

  • My biggest concern with this blade is heat-treat.

  • I'd really, really hate to have to start over

  • again at the end of day two.

  • I've got a lot of meat in this thing

  • that needs to be thinned out.

  • Fortunately, I have a power hammer that's going to help

  • a lot with making that happen.

  • Oh, you've got to be [bleep] kidding me.

  • All of a sudden, my power hammer decides it

  • doesn't want to play anymore.

  • It stops working.

  • That sucks.

  • So in-between heats now, I'm trying

  • to rewire my power hammer.

  • All right, well, that ain't working.

  • Finally get the switch back together.

  • Ta-da.

  • It's alive.

  • So I'm working on the blade and drawing it out.

  • And I notice there's a crack in the blade.

  • [sigh] And there's no saving this.

  • Yeah, it's junk.

  • So my back-up steel is 01.

  • It is a tool steel.

  • But it's not a good steel for swords.

  • Hopefully I can temper it right and it'll still hold

  • together through the testing.

  • BURTON: It's day two for me today.

  • I'm going to go ahead and take some of the 3/16 rod.

  • And we'll scroll and jig and try to set up some,

  • like, inch and a half rings.

  • I'm going to hot cut them off one at a time.

  • Once they get attached on the sword,

  • then I'll just give them a little TIG weld

  • to hold them together on there.

  • We're getting ready try to drill the holes for the rings.

  • It could have possibly got too hard in the forging.

  • Find out here in a second.

  • Looks like it's drilling like butter.

  • First two holes drill just fine.

  • [grinding noise]

  • That's harder.

  • [bleep] Oh, I was hoping they would drill easy.

  • [grinding noise]

  • That's what I was afraid of.

  • It can't be a nine ring sword without nine

  • holes for the rings to go in.

  • Feeling the clock now.

  • It's not soft.

  • I'm going to heat the spine of it up with the torch

  • and try to just draw it back and hopefully it'll

  • be soft enough that I can get those last seven

  • holes punched through it.

  • If this doesn't work, I'm screwed.

  • I'd hate to start forging again.

  • MIKE: There's still a heck of a lot of work to do.

  • So it's critical that I really hit the heat-treat tonight.

  • If it breaks, if it cracks, if it

  • does anything other than quenches hard and straight,

  • I'm done.

  • I have no backups anymore.

  • We've got a hard blade.

  • It's straight.

  • So as I started profiling the blade more,

  • all of a sudden I notice something's gone wrong again.

  • I've got a [bleep] crack in the blade.

  • I have no more steel to work with.

  • All right, so how do I fix that?

  • I decide to just put scallops in between all of the eyelets

  • for the rings, and hopefully grind far enough down where

  • I'm beyond where the crack is.

  • No more crack.

  • Doesn't look like the picture.

  • But i kind of like it, to tell you the truth.

  • I got some sweet tea.

  • Day four, finally punched through the last hole.

  • So now we've got a nine hole broadsword.

  • Got the sword quenched yesterday.

  • But I'm still under the gun.

  • Time to get all these rings welded on here.

  • Does rattle-- they're on there.

  • I'm going to use a camo color para cord to do the wrap.

  • And it gives enough grip and thickness to the handle.

  • [laughs] Thing's beastly.

  • I'm finished.

  • It's sharp.

  • It's an instrument of death.

  • It's a wild thing.

  • Thing looks wicked.

  • MIKE: First thing I'm getting after is the rings.

  • I'm going with eighth-inch [inaudible] steel.

  • I created a jig a while back for bending this kind of stuff.

  • I'm going to put it in the jig, bend

  • them around until they're pretty symmetrical and pretty even.

  • Yeah, not too bad.

  • So all I have left to do is get these rings welded in place.

  • Boy, that looks like [bleep] it just doesn't want

  • to weld together very well.

  • I mean, it starts to melt. It starts to do other things.

  • Damn it.

  • But finally, blade's finished.

  • Nine ring broadsword, brother.

  • I love this thing.

  • I'd like to keep it, put it on my wall.

  • But I'd rather have 10 grand.

  • Blade smiths, you have our gratitude.

  • Gentlemen, your swords look magnificent.

  • But are they deadly?

  • To find that out, we will take your swords

  • and deliver some clean blows on this pig carcass.

  • It's all about the kill in this particular test.

  • Burton, you are first.

  • Are you ready, sir?

  • Yes, sir.

  • Let's do this.

  • Pretty much what could go wrong is the blade breaks

  • or it's not sharp enough to cut what it's supposed to cut.

  • Let's see how it holds up.

  • [dramatic music]

  • Damn.

  • [dramatic music]

  • [gasps]

  • Well, there it went.

  • Goodness, look at that.

  • All right, Burton.

  • First up, what I love about this blade was the balance,

  • the way I was able to move with the blade everywhere.

  • Now let's talk about the breakage.

  • OK, so the break happened right there,

  • where the ring was attached.

  • You can see it's really not a bad core

  • structure you have there.

  • It could be finer.

  • But rings, when you're digging into that

  • could cost stress risers--

  • and it broke right there with the ring was.

  • Well, gentlemen, the fight is not over.

  • Because Mike, your blade still has to survive nine strikes

  • on its kill test target.

  • Good luck, gentlemen.

  • Doug?

  • MIKE: Burton's blade broke right at one of the holes.

  • I have them same holes in there.

  • Plus on my spine, I've already had two cracks.

  • I'm terrified it's going to break.

  • Oh, the heart's starting to flutter a little bit.

  • [dramatic music]

  • Good job, bro.

  • Burton, unfortunately your blade broke and it can no

  • longer continue with testing.

  • And for that reason, I have to dismiss you from the forge.

  • Good job, brother. - I appreciate it, man.

  • That sucks.

  • [inaudible]

  • Gorgeous weapon, though.

  • Seeing my blade break, it's a disappointment.

  • You know, you make it to round three, you want to win.

  • You know, them nine holes burnt through four drill bits

  • doing them.

  • So somewhere through there, I probably

  • was giving a little too much pressure

  • and caused the stress riser to run down that blade.

  • That was enough to cause a critical failure in that blade.

  • I'm still proud of myself with what I've done.

  • You know, it was way out of my wheelhouse.

  • What's next for me is not swords,

  • especially nine ring swords, [laughs] that's for damn sure.

  • WIL WILLIS: Mike, congratulations.

  • The strength and integrity of your blade

  • has made you a "Forged in Fire" champion.

  • And that's a title that comes with a check for $10,000.

  • Good job, brother.

  • [clapping]

  • I won 'Forged in Fire."

  • Holy crap, man.

  • Come on forward and shake our hands, my friend.

  • Thank you. Thank you.

  • - Good job, brother. - Thank you.

  • With some of the things that went wrong in my home forge,

  • I was really sure that that blade was going to break on me.

  • But it didn't. (SINGING) Da da da.

  • This is a happy dance.

  • Doing a little dance.

  • [music playing]

WIL WILLIS: Blade smiths, congratulations.
