Neilson: There was one episode in the early season, with two finalists. Whereas I am not a forger I'm the end-user.Р”Вoug Marcaida: There was one time where it exploded in my hand because it was not tempered properly, As a martial artist that's the way, I tend to look at things. I'm a big fan of trying to find out how these swords were made and who made them because the bladesmiths and the blacksmith of those days were magicians. There is a mysticism that comes with blade-making and wonderment and magic as well. I'm a student of blades that have a soul. The fact that we were able to be a part of that and part of the inspiration, is humbling.Р”Вoug Marcaida: I prefer the 16th century period when blade making was part of alchemy. What someone can produce in such a short amount of time just stuns me. We put them through knife-making hell and send them home for 4 days and they bring back amazing things. I'm just stunned all the time, what comes up and what people make on the show.

What period is the best era for weapon-making? It's very important that we test them out beforehand so we know what to expect from the contestant's blades in the show. That's one of the things I love about the craft is you're always learning.Р”Вoug, how do you go about practising with a new blade like the William Wallace sword?Р”Вoug Marcaida: Carefully.We have a hero blade I practice with so I can work out what kind of damage it will do. And sometimes I get fooled, sometimes I think itРІР‚в„ўs not going to work but it does. I can figure out what their plan is and whether it's going to work or not.

Here's a table full of metal, go make it work. No, my favourite part is the first 15-20 minutes of round one because I know what I would do in that amount of time. Neilson: Don't make a blade to pass, make it exceptional make it go beyond that.Р”В®veryone thinks my favourite part of the show is the strength test, it's not. is just going to look at it and it'll break Contestants better come up with the best knife they've ever forged because otherwise J. So, don't come to the show simply to make a knife. The standard of testing is going to be at that high level. I'm not holding back.Р”Вoug Marcaida: This is a competition show, and we have a judge over here that is a Master Smith. I appreciate all the work they put into them but I do this for my own knives. And that's why I'm not super sympathetic with the contestants. I would take it and beat the hell out of it.

Neilson: The reason that I'm on the show is that I have been doing this same kind of testing on my own for years.Р”В®ven knives that I forged and quenched that had a crack or another issue, I wouldn't just throw it in a bucket and ignore. J, can you tell us about your legendary strength tests.
