I got a warm fuzzy feeling from other commenters also displeased with that shitty use of a bearded axe :3

If u wanted a good test, use a hairy Norwegian or something NOT a load of nerds in their parents basement

At first I thought the first image was a sword wedged in a watermelon.

"It will KEEEL" - Forged in Fire. One of my favorite shows on TV.

@op i watch this show with my dad. he always says "EET WHEEL KEEL"
Braindeadtaint
Am I drunk or did the guy in #2 come relatively close to taking the rebound to the face?
samsonguy920
You are drunk. It definitely looks that way at a glance but really watching it you see he has control.
moosevan
I saw that too.
MightyShoePrint
Nah, it looked like he had pretty good control of it. And I think the angle made it look closer than it really was.
trollisourbites
Agreed
PeeterGrant
Some of these just don't cut it.

I happened to be watching the show when I saw this post. "Forged in Fire" for those who haven't experienced this TV gem.
Rickbot
I miss deadliest warrior :(
Nearlyburly
+1 But only the first few seasons
PapaFuckTard
It always bugged me how it was 20 minutes of cool weapon facts/knowledge and 40 minutes of filler and recaps
Rickbot
Yeah but for those 20 minutes it was totally worth it! Get that slitherin shit fired up to fuck saaaan
PapaFuckTard
Oh fuck yeah! I'd love to know how many pigs they destroyed throughout all the seasons
Rickbot
Pigs and pounds of ballistic dummy's. Bound to be a healthy amount!
DHDragon
Wait. Is #4 Ilya from Man at Arms Reforged?
unfounddoorway
Yeah, he's in season two of forged in fire, and is awesome
DHDragon
Ilya's usually pretty awesome, yeah. I might need to watch season 2 of Forged in Fire

SOMEONE TEACH THESE LIMP-WRISTED MILKSOPS HOW TO SWING A FUCKING AXE
tomyironmane
It's becoming a lost art. I am pretty sure, however, that dad could manage #1 without the fancy scope and gun vise... at 25 yards.
DontEvenTry
He split a bullet on a sword.. it's not that easy
tomyironmane
I know, I saw dad split a playing card at that range.
malfunctionm1ke
Gimli would approve!
MyPseudoIsAlduinSkyrimStoleItFromMe
Same goes for katana it hurts me to see the guy hack like that
AMartianPotato
None of those is a katana, unless you mean the one getting shot at. What are you talking about?

Is this the part where all the SCA dorks show up and talk shit about the actual master blacksmiths?
SumnerK
it's one thing to know how to make a weapon...it's another thing to know how to USE the weapon to it's full potential.
MidLifeChrysler
So, yes? :)
SumnerK
not sure. I'm not into SCA, just a combat vet.

TavishGregory
Forged in Fire is an insult to real knifemakers and blacksmiths everywhere. The show has its moments but as a whole it's shit.
TheScarredOne
Really? I thought it was better than that.
TavishGregory
So much misinformation spread by reality shows like this. They care not for accuracy or facts, only ratings.
TheScarredOne
The info rarely clashed with what I have read about forging mostly. But i have to ask what are some of the big red flags? so i can learn!
lolipopfishsticks
Good thing i only watch it for the sexy bearded men
RyeTheSwordMan
This is really too bad, because here in the US we have Arms & Armor out of Minnesota making exceptional weapons for years.
Selerox
Exactly. There are a lot of great European weaponsmiths as well, and they're all being sidelined by History Channel garbage.
WhatzitTooya
Reality tv. It's not renowned for the high quality...
tomyironmane
Now you know how we feel about all those gunsmith shows.
TavishGregory
I never looked at it like that before. I now understand your pain.
tomyironmane
... But I also know people who could manage #1 at 10 yards without vise or scope, easy.
tomyironmane
It's allright, man. I only know the surface details about knives, but I know a good one won't be slapped together in 5 hours on reality TV.
varchld
Places that forge not so great or not so practical weapons I can forgive/ignore, but these guys are about sensationalism with no substance
GandalfTheCrunk
Just like Deadliest Warrior.
nightmarerunner
That's American TV for you. Look at the US version of Kitchen Nightmares next to the UK version.
CodeWarrior
Being interested in smithing (with no experience), could you cite some examples? I want to know what they are doing wrong so I don't do it.
TavishGregory
So much information I don't have enough space here. Pm me a question and we'll talk about it.
NuevoTejas
#2 and #3 are either using really blunt tools or they're pathetic. Looking at their technique I'd go with the latter.
pgdave
That's not how you use that sort of sword - you stab with it, and you slice with it, you don't hack with it.
ticklefin
Clearly have no idea who Doug Marcaida is. To be fair its knives hes good with.
RyeTheSwordMan
Doug Marcaida is not swinging the arming sword in #2, nor is he using proper technique in #3. His Kali technique is fantastic, though.
samsonguy920
Those had me wondering if they were trying to make blades not look as fantastic as they do in the movies.
BenjaminFink
Seeing that in#3 he is cutting towards himself I don't think they have great techniques. Seriously I've seen way too many ppl cut themselves
AMartianPotato
#2 is an arming sword against thick beef bones. Arming swords are slicing weapons with not much weight towards the tip. They aren't 1/2
DrKriegersClone
Well why's it called that if it's not for taking off arms? Like a paring knife is for paring.
AMartianPotato
The term started being used when it became a secondary weapon so it literally means that it's for arming yourself if you lose your primary.
AMartianPotato
Designed to cut bone and its not surprising that it takes him a couple of swings. Arming swords are for doing damage to organs and flesh.
AMartianPotato
I'm more inclined to criticize the test itself as being poorly conceived.
NuevoTejas
Also what's with the gingers pussy facial expressions in #2! Probably thinks squashing a fly is senseless violence.
docsage
ForestRed
You can't use that word. That's our word!
ObiWanKenbrobi
That was his sword that was getting "tested". He made it for the final challenge and was worried it would break
Nyyppis
#2 is a light stabbing and slicing weapon doing a job of an axe. #3 those bones are fucking hard and the angle is a bit weird.
Nyyppis
Any human bone would have gone to bits after the first strike. And I must repeat this: bones are fucking hard to cut.
Nyyppis
Why would you even wanna cut bones? You would leave yourself wide open for a counter attack while winding up for a bone crushing blow.
NuevoTejas
Maybe you're arm is caught in a rocky crevice miles away from help. You'd wanna cut bone then.. and quickly
Nyyppis
Dominian
I don't know. I combat your swings might actually look more like that in order to keep the attack fast and not lose grip of your weapon.
pgdave
No, in combat you would be likely to be stabbing with a sword, or slicing, than chopping. Chopping is a big motion, leaves you vulnerable
RaptorJesus89
I can't speak for the axe, but even with that in mind their cuts with the katana are shit. It's a slicing weapon, not a chopping one. /1
RaptorJesus89
There should be a slight pull or push with each cut, similar to how you'd cut a turkey or thick block of cheese (bad example, but still). /2
RubiksAndRum
The axe would have worked much better if they knew how to fucking swing it
1Geminiborn
Yea, he swings like a 2 year old would, put your fucking back into man....the fuck is he even holding the thing for
samsonguy920
Word.
Textuality
I went back to rewatch it, and yeah, the way he's swinging has very little power behind it.
RonDawg
But it will kill!
ticktockbent
Right? You're not chopping logs you twit. Also aren't they on the wrong side of the ribs?
LP1988
Even if he was chopping logs that would be the wrong way to do it
ticklefin
Hey guys just want to point out a big part of using a weapon is retaining it. Swinging at would is very different than a person.
lulwot
Do you fail to retain your axe when swinging at would?
HappyCakeDay
Well if you watch the show you'll know that safety comes first. They use the same technique for both weapon so it's judge fairly.
RoyFuckingMustang
I was coming down to comment just this. Even a 10 year old who cuts firewood knows how to swing a damn axe.
GentlemanScientist
Cue the armchair warriors.
AllTheseFlavorsAndYouChooseToBeSalty
Sword canes are great practice.
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
More like literally anybody whose used a pickaxe or sledgehammer.....
CrabWallet
I've split several cords of wood in my day, and could easily put any reasonable axe through those ribs.
ecodude
For real his swing was stupid, and anyone who has handled a large tool knows that. You have to move your hand to generate any force.
LP1988
True but if you have ever done as much as knocked a stake in the ground you would know that that is a wrong way to use a large weapon.
SuscriptorJusticiero
Looks like he isn't proficient with Martial Weapons.
Youngnguyendc
You guys do realize that this guy is a Martial art expert right?
SirLags
He's a blade specialist. He has a YouTube channel as well
OutrageousHemmorhoid
He didn't slide his lead hand at all like you would with a fully committed swing.
andergriff
he couldn't because the handle was to rounded for him to do that without the blade flipping from side to side.
cappygold
In combat it doesn't make sense to fully commit to a swing anyways, if they Dodge you are far too vulnerable, first hack bits out of them
OutrageousHemmorhoid
That's why one handed axes were far more common for war: no one really used huge barbarian / dwarf battle axes, that's a fantasy art thing.
unfounddoorway
In the episode the guy mentions that the handle was too rounded so he couldn't keep his grip as it would twist on impact 1/2
guitarizt
They have the meat set up pretty high, too. He does a better job once the cuts get lower.
unfounddoorway
Which is why he kept his hands further apart instead of sliding the upper hand all the way down and swinging properly 2/2
zildjianvibes
Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you fucking stupid bastard!
RobocopShootingDicks
RubiksAndRum
I don't even know what Dorsia is, but it doesn't change how many times I've swung an axe.
SmellOfMonkey
Ha, classic
Dominian
It's a resteraunt in American Psycho, that has the reputation to be packed. Getting a reservation is a privilege at the place.
YeGods
You wanna learn the first rule? You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is.
reters
It's a reference to America Psycho. It was rather graphic in the book, less so in the movie.
reters
Main character kills someone with an axe.
xenadukem
Do you like Huey Lewis?
lordofthedice
And the news.
SelfDeprecatingHumor
Yeah, they call these people "Experts" but I would say they are enthusiasts at most
NoNeed4Instructions
honestly you don't need to be an expert or enthusiast to know how to swing an axe
LaDuzi
HIs name's Doug Marcaida. He's good with knives, but that looks like about it.
Thatknifeguy
"I know everything about Japanese swords!!" *holds katana like a baseball bat* *head+desk*
gaybro
Junpei? Is that you?
Thatknifeguy
I fear I do not get the reference
gaybro
Character from a game called Persona 3. He uses two-handed swords as weapons, but swings them like baseball bats.
RubiksAndRum
An "expert" is a 70-year-old who has been swinging one for a living since the age of 10.
HumanSacrifice7721
That would be Ron Swanson
RyeTheSwordMan
As with any other art, it takes roughly seven years under a competent instructor in the fence to acquire a minimum level of mastery.
Saxit
10,000 hour.
AMartianPotato
Someone who has spent their life chopping wood would have no idea how to competently swing an axe at a human who wants to kill them back.
Mohareb
There goes my dream of surviving the zombie apocalypse :<
RubiksAndRum
Bullshit
AMartianPotato
Wood chopping is an entirely different motion. You don't need to worry about the wood stabbing you back if you don't recover fast enough.
CrissCross35
Though there's a different technique between chopping wood and cutting trees and using it for attacking and wounding/killing someone
CrissCross35
Although the 70 year old would be better at using the axe than an enthusiast.
RubiksAndRum
"Technique" XD Swing the axe, hit the target. Whatever their "technique" was, I have personally done more damage than they did, so it sucks.
dlichly
If you watch the episode-the grip slips due to construction.
CriscoDiscoChan
have you really, have you actually taken an axe to what I'm assuming a cows ribcage. You wouldn't lie to me, over the internet?
