You guys were in the third and final round of this competition.

Now, when you came here, you faced really tough challenges that escalated throughout the 1st 2 rounds.

Now we're sending you back to your home forges to recreate this iconic weapon from history.

The Sun model.

Holy, this thing is huge today.

I gotta try and figure out forging on this plate.

I've never made anything as big as this before.

It'll be a unique challenge is what I'm starting with Big old piece 51 60.

My Forge only has about 18 inches over.

You'd be working on a little bit of time.

Try and keep it simple.

Get something Drawing out the size of this thing is gonna be gigantic.

Damn, We got, like, good start, End of day one.

I got the whole blade forged out to a really rough shape.

Play for tomorrow is to get to quench bythe.

Yesterday I was able to get the blade shaped where I want it.

Now I can get busy grinding and hopefully by the end of the day to get it quenched.

This is going to be a day filled with attention to detail.

This is the most nerve wracking part kind of the make or break moment.

So get it in the oil.

Perfect.

I pull it out.

I didn't get a curve on it.

I need it.

Toe Have a curve on it because that will allow it to function the way it needs to.

I've got to stick it back in the fire and I've got to get it quenched.

This is not what I wanted to have happen.

So here we go again.

Quench number two.

It didn't break best off.

There's a little bit of a curve in it.

Day two was an adventure.

Pretty happy with where I'm sitting right now.

So what I'm hoping to have done tomorrow is get the guard fitted up and be ready for the final day of fit and finish Morning of day two.

Goal for today is to get everything he treated.

Doing about everything I can to try and get it is even possible.

But you coming out of the question is gonna be a real challenge.

So I climbed down to force.

The idea here is to help try and keep it, uh, straight as I can, while it cools.

And today to have a quench blades.

So far, so good.

I'm doing okay.

A little tired.

Coffee and hate.

That's what I'm fueled by.

Just kidding.

Just coffee.

This morning.

The sword looks phenomenal.

Now, I can really start focusing on the fit and finish, So I'm gonna start working on my guard.

After a lot of fireworks, I get the guard fit right up to the shoulders.

It looks perfect.

Now it's time to start securing everything that seam there.

I'll fill with a piece of cord, and then that's gonna be wrapped back to 12 inches.

I've got to finish the handle, but I'm comfortable that I can get this blade done tomorrow.

Goals for today are getting Blake cleaned up ground and then moved to working on the handle.

Got the bevel ground in.

No.

Start working on getting this handle fit up.

I'm gonna glue these two pieces together, do some sculpting.

I'm actually gonna make a little bit smaller than I wouldn't because I plan on doing a rap, Have a little bit of time left.

So I start working on shaping the guard.

Little fit on guard.

I'm happy with shape.

overall.

Tomorrow's gonna be final.

Assembly blew up all that fun stuff.

I'm just glad Will hasn't shown up so far.

I'm glad there's no more parameters.

Like Funny.

Yeah, that'll work.

Placements welcome.

Keel test.

Well, you're Osama Douse aren't pocket dives.

It definitely looked very long.

But what kind of beef with damage can he do to find that out?

I will take your weapons, deliver some slashes and killing blows on this boar carcass.

Thank you.

Appreciate it for this.

Yes, sir.

Right, Dixon, A bunch.

Your weapon here.

Now, the design.

You have expected a bit more of a curve because of a straighter blade.

It feels more like I'm chopping before I'm drawing.

But as you can see, you look ill.

Thank you.

All right, Josh, Your turn.

So you ready?

Let's do it.

All right, John, talk about your blade.

Here.

The balance is good, and as much as I can feel the power in there, I can wield this weapon and develop some speed and power and the curvature that you have your does exactly what this kind of design is meant to do.

Every cut was very deep on this carcass.

Enough to where it cut all the way through.

And more importantly, you look ill.

Thank you.

All right, gentlemen, welcome to the strength test.

A test of strength and overall construction were blades.

I'll be chopping into pots and this horse skull.

Remember, gentlemen, this is not about what your blades due to the targets.

This about what those targets I'm gonna do to your blades.

Nick, your opera.

You ready?

Yes, sir.

All right, Nick.

So there's not really any chipping or rolling that I can feel.

It's just sort of has lost its its fine edge.

Most of these weapons have a bit more of a curve.

And this it's got about a slight curve, as I could call a curb.

Yes, sir.

It's a very, very flexible blade.

But it did well, so nice.

And, uh thank you, sir.

All right, Josh, let's do it.

So, Josh, very well crafted blade, which I like the guard, the dimensions, the size and shape of the handle.

All really beautiful.

Unfortunately, though, we've got some rolling on the edge of this blade.

You hear that?

Yes.

So you put a incredibly fine edge on this and it showed in the kill test, but, uh, not so good for hitting pots.

It's a great feeling weapon, but didn't take that engine damage.

All right, Please fit.

Now it's time to find out how sharp your blades are.

This is a sharp this test the duels, Sandman slice.

Now I'd like to strength.

It's This is all about what the edge of you bleed.

Does the sentiment take your first ready for this?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Next to talk about your blade here, but you could see it.

Cut the arms, the legs, This M bowl the rice off the tourist.

So overall, sir, it won't cut.

Thank you, sir.

Right, Josh, Your turn.

So you ready?

Let's do it.

All right, Josh, this'll is a cutter.

Just a design of it really lends itself to really draw.

Cut.

The cuts are very deep and they're very clean when you're cutting through.

The rolling it took did not affect its cutting ability.

So overall, sir, you will cut.

Thank you.

Blade Smiths, the judges deliberation is complete.

They've made their final decision.

The new force and Fire champion is Josh.

Congratulations, Nick.

Your blade didn't make the cut.

Doug.

Market is gonna tell you a lie, Nick does.

Amanda was designed to be a horse slayer Chopper.

The amount of flex you have on your blade and the lack of curvature made it performed less than that of your competitors.

All right, Nick, at this time, please leave before you come up for my friend.

I may not be the Forge new Fire champion, but by no means do I consider myself a loser.

Congratulations.

The sword that I made is something that I am extremely proud of.

And when it came down to the decision, today just wasn't my day.

Congratulations, Josh.

You're the fourth Fire champion.

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

I'm Fortune Fire champion, and I don't even know what to think.
