Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,307 --> 00:00:17,100
- Tonight America's top
bladesmiths,
2
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,269
martial artists,
and knife experts
3
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:20,771
put their
blade-wielding skills
4
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:22,439
to the ultimate test.
5
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:25,651
Whoa!
Total carnage!
6
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:27,194
Who will be skilled enough,
7
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,862
and which blades
are sharp enough,
8
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:31,782
to earn the $20,000
grand prize
9
00:00:31,782 --> 00:00:33,825
and the title
of "Knife or Death" champion?
10
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:46,797
- I just love bladed weapons.
11
00:00:46,797 --> 00:00:48,924
When I trace my finger
over a blade, it'll make
12
00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:51,051
a certain sound
if it's good steel.
13
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:53,053
So it has its own soul,
its own sound.
14
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:54,805
- Ever since I was a kid,
15
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:56,682
I've always wanted
to be a blacksmith.
16
00:00:56,682 --> 00:00:59,101
Whenever I make a weapon and
I'm able to actually test it
17
00:00:59,101 --> 00:01:01,645
on something,
I just like that feeling.
18
00:01:05,691 --> 00:01:07,442
- Blade wielders,
19
00:01:07,442 --> 00:01:10,237
welcome to the most extreme,
most punishing
20
00:01:10,237 --> 00:01:12,990
knife competition
ever created.
21
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,409
Complete two courses,
and the winner earns
22
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:18,328
a cash prize and a spot
in the Grand Champion Showdown
23
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:20,747
at the end of the season...
24
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:23,875
vying for $20,000 and the title
25
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:26,461
of "Knife or Death" Champion.
26
00:01:26,461 --> 00:01:29,214
All of you have
different reasons to be here,
27
00:01:29,214 --> 00:01:31,425
but one thing is certain--
28
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:33,427
that purpose won't be realized
29
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:36,972
until you get through
Knife Fight.
30
00:01:36,972 --> 00:01:39,099
The Knife Fight course
is a true test
31
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:41,351
of speed and power.
32
00:01:46,064 --> 00:01:48,108
The two that make it
the farthest the fastest
33
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:50,193
will move on to our second,
even more grueling
34
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:52,779
course challenge--
Dead Run.
35
00:01:55,157 --> 00:01:57,701
I am honored
to introduce to you
36
00:01:57,701 --> 00:02:01,079
U.S. Army veteran Tu Lam.
37
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:04,124
- To know oneself
is important,
38
00:02:04,124 --> 00:02:07,627
but to know yourself
in relation to your blade,
39
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:11,673
well, that's critical
and considered good strategy.
40
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:13,717
Our two-time
"Forged in Fire" Champion
41
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:16,678
and blade expert Travis Wuertz
will give your blade
42
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:18,221
one final test.
43
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:20,307
He finds anything wrong
with your blade,
44
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:22,517
you could be eliminated.
45
00:02:22,517 --> 00:02:24,519
- Only two of you will move on.
46
00:02:24,519 --> 00:02:27,147
Good luck!
Go get your blades ready.
47
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:29,650
- Hi, I'm Joel Rice.
I'm 30 years old.
48
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:32,110
I'm a campus supervisor
and security officer
49
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:33,612
out of Casper, Wyoming.
50
00:02:35,364 --> 00:02:36,948
I've had extensive
martial arts training,
51
00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:39,117
ranging from karate,
jiujitsu,
52
00:02:39,117 --> 00:02:41,453
to Filipino martial arts.
53
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:43,038
With the growing rate
of violence happening
54
00:02:43,038 --> 00:02:45,624
in schools, I use
my martial arts training
55
00:02:45,624 --> 00:02:46,958
to see things
before they happen
56
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:48,168
and to keep other people safe.
57
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,005
- So what do you got there?
58
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,007
- So this is a Techno SS.
59
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,551
It's based on the Kambantuli.
It's a Filipino design.
60
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:58,553
It's a short-range
Filipino weapon.
61
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,514
- Okay, so where'd you get
this blade?
62
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:02,474
- So it's out of
Victoria, British Colombia.
63
00:03:02,474 --> 00:03:05,394
Friend of mine named Jeremy
smiths out there.
64
00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:07,896
- So here's your 12-inch blade,
but you have a handle
65
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:11,233
where I can grip
either here up close,
66
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:13,318
rotating around the center
of mass,
67
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:15,779
or if I choose to do so,
68
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:17,698
I can take that one hand
69
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,283
and come back here and increase
70
00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:21,827
my effective length.
- Absolutely.
71
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,704
- Or a person can take
two hands.
72
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:25,580
I'm gonna take a few swings,
see how it feels.
73
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:26,706
- Thank you.
74
00:03:31,086 --> 00:03:32,879
- Your blade cuts well.
75
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,841
It has good edge geometry.
It has overall sharpness.
76
00:03:35,841 --> 00:03:38,301
And it gives the user
77
00:03:38,301 --> 00:03:40,303
quite a bit of variation
to swing from.
78
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:41,805
Congratulations.
79
00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:43,390
It makes the cut.
80
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,767
Good luck.
- Thank you.
81
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:49,187
- Up the steps, Joel Rice.
82
00:03:49,187 --> 00:03:50,730
A lot of people come
to this show
83
00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:52,441
for a lot
of different reasons.
84
00:03:52,441 --> 00:03:54,276
This guy came
for a higher purpose.
85
00:03:54,276 --> 00:03:56,361
He wants to be the most
proficient security guard
86
00:03:56,361 --> 00:03:58,071
so he can protect kids.
87
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:01,366
- Joel comes today
with a 13-inch blade.
88
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,660
I like the modifications
to the handle,
89
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,620
which will allow him
to double up on the blade.
90
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:08,290
He's a practitioner
of Eskrima,
91
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:09,875
which is Filipino
martial arts.
92
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:12,169
As you can see,
the circular patterns
93
00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:14,129
that he's swinging
that blade into now,
94
00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:16,590
those are the angles
of attack.
95
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:18,800
- First up, Trifecta.
96
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,677
Remember, the competitor
must cut three objects
97
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:22,971
in half,
release the falling torches.
98
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:25,098
Well, here he goes.
99
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:28,018
Joel Rice up at the bamboo.
100
00:04:28,018 --> 00:04:30,061
- Very proficient
in those circular motions.
101
00:04:30,061 --> 00:04:32,272
- Boom, right through it.
He got through there quick.
102
00:04:34,024 --> 00:04:35,859
Oh, boom.
Talk about quick.
103
00:04:35,859 --> 00:04:37,277
Right through the PVC.
104
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,904
Now on to the rope.
105
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:40,655
Oh, my God,
he just killed it.
106
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:44,075
- He has a lot of power.
- Joel Rice through Trifecta.
107
00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:45,827
Next he steps up
to Box Cutter.
108
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:47,370
Remember, he has to go
109
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:50,081
all the way through
both boxes.
110
00:04:50,081 --> 00:04:51,875
- He's at the end
of that blade handle,
111
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:53,335
giving him more power
in his swings.
112
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:55,378
His angles of attack
is dead on.
113
00:04:55,378 --> 00:04:57,339
He's not in front
of that box.
114
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,260
- There he goes.
First box eliminated.
115
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,596
- Notice how he's using
his body to control
116
00:05:04,596 --> 00:05:06,640
the "spinature" of that box.
- He is.
117
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,809
Catching up to the spin,
waiting for it to stop.
118
00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:10,811
Joel Rice...
119
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,187
finishes up Box Cutter.
120
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,316
He's stepping up
to Decapitator.
121
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,151
He's got to cut
all the way through
122
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,778
all of the objects
with one strike
123
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:21,238
through each object.
124
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:23,448
Okay, first swipe.
125
00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:26,701
Miss, right off the bat.
126
00:05:26,701 --> 00:05:28,245
Got that one.
127
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:30,872
Wow, Tu, that was close.
128
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,374
Oh, nice, he got that one.
129
00:05:32,374 --> 00:05:33,917
Two out of three done.
130
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:35,919
Only one penalty there.
131
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:39,840
On to Thrice.
132
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,301
Cut completely through
all three ice blocks in order.
133
00:05:45,512 --> 00:05:47,597
Two strikes, and he's through
the first one.
134
00:05:47,597 --> 00:05:49,307
One strike through the second.
135
00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:51,101
Uh-oh, one penalty
because he's not
136
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:52,936
going in order.
137
00:05:56,106 --> 00:05:59,818
Moving on to Life Line--
sudden-death elimination.
138
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:02,237
If he does not go through
that chicken with one strike
139
00:06:02,237 --> 00:06:03,363
he's going home.
140
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:06,700
- Nice.
- Boom, right through.
141
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,743
Beautiful slice
right through the chicken.
142
00:06:08,743 --> 00:06:10,620
Now he moves on
to the tube.
143
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,497
Right through the tubing.
144
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,916
Next up is the fish.
145
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:16,710
Let's see the line of attack.
- Nice.
146
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:18,670
- Beautiful stroke,
great follow-through.
147
00:06:18,670 --> 00:06:20,505
- Look at those angles, Bill.
148
00:06:20,505 --> 00:06:22,132
That is a practitioner
in Filipino martial arts.
149
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:23,425
It's all about hitting angles.
150
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:26,845
- Next up, Kill Shot.
151
00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:30,015
You must fully slice through
all six ratchet straps
152
00:06:30,015 --> 00:06:31,808
within three swings.
153
00:06:31,808 --> 00:06:35,061
- He only has 13 inches
of cutting edge here
154
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,480
to get through
all the ratchet straps.
155
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,066
He needs to pick
his angles right.
156
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,193
- Okay, here we go.
157
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:43,862
That's not a good start.
158
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:48,700
Oh, now he's got one strike
to get through four straps.
159
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,664
Whoa.
160
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:56,916
Joel Rice taken down
by Kill Shot.
161
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,377
He was unable to cut
all of the straps
162
00:06:59,377 --> 00:07:01,212
with three strikes.
163
00:07:01,212 --> 00:07:02,672
- Joel.
164
00:07:02,672 --> 00:07:04,466
Let me take a look
at that knife again.
165
00:07:04,466 --> 00:07:07,886
You really made
what's a smaller blade perform
166
00:07:07,886 --> 00:07:10,055
like a much bigger blade
because you're treating
167
00:07:10,055 --> 00:07:13,558
this longer handle
as a multiple-position grip.
168
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:15,644
- Right.
- Completely changes
169
00:07:15,644 --> 00:07:18,313
the weight and the balance,
and the power
170
00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:20,231
that this knife can deliver.
171
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:23,401
You still have to see
if you made it far enough
172
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:25,028
and if you made it here
fast enough.
173
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:27,489
- Let's hope.
- Well, keep hoping.
174
00:07:27,489 --> 00:07:28,657
And good luck.
- Thank you.
175
00:07:28,657 --> 00:07:30,116
- Thank you.
176
00:07:31,451 --> 00:07:33,078
- I'm Ken Woodbury.
177
00:07:33,078 --> 00:07:34,746
My background
on sword fighting
178
00:07:34,746 --> 00:07:36,748
is actually medieval combat.
179
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:39,876
Either I get a shield
and sword or a spear,
180
00:07:39,876 --> 00:07:42,629
and we get into armies
and we have full-on melees.
181
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:45,340
- Looks like you got a kukri.
- That blade--
182
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:48,093
I had specially made
just for this competition.
183
00:07:48,093 --> 00:07:50,345
It's an 18 1/2-inch blade,
184
00:07:50,345 --> 00:07:54,015
15 inches cutting surface,
with a 8-inch handle.
185
00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:57,435
- The first thing comes to mind
is bending.
186
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,896
I see some wiggles
in the profile of this,
187
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:04,234
and then we're sharpened
at a very blunt edge,
188
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:06,611
so we're just sharp-ish.
189
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:09,155
But we'll see how it does.
190
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:10,699
All right.
191
00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:19,249
I would have liked to see
a thinner cutting edge,
192
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:22,752
but this profile creates
basically an axe section there
193
00:08:22,752 --> 00:08:25,046
and should be
a phenomenal chopper.
194
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:26,423
Congratulations,
it makes the cut.
195
00:08:26,423 --> 00:08:28,091
- Excellent, thank you.
196
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:31,261
- Here he comes--
Ken Woodbury.
197
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:32,512
40 years old.
198
00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:34,848
Full-time production grip,
199
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:37,475
part-time sword fighter.
- This guy is confident.
200
00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:40,395
He's coming today
with this hybrid kukri.
201
00:08:40,395 --> 00:08:42,147
This is 18 1/2 inches.
202
00:08:42,147 --> 00:08:44,441
A normal Kukri
is about 12 to 15 inches.
203
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:47,861
Travis does have concern
that this blade is very dull.
204
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,279
- Okay, here he goes.
205
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:51,865
Ken Woodbury
takes on Trifecta.
206
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:57,245
- This is the perfect geometry
207
00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:58,913
for this type of cut.
- He's one strike away.
208
00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:01,041
There he goes.
Right through the bamboo.
209
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,918
Next up, PVC.
- With the recurve
210
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:07,213
it's gonna allow
that chopping power he needs.
211
00:09:07,213 --> 00:09:08,506
- Okay, should be one
or two more.
212
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:10,300
One and he's through.
213
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:11,843
Next up, the rope.
- He needs to hit this
214
00:09:11,843 --> 00:09:13,928
at an angle.
- We can see that blade
215
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:16,514
bouncing a little bit,
and Travis Wuertz said
216
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:19,142
it is not that sharp.
217
00:09:19,142 --> 00:09:20,727
- There he goes.
218
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,187
Finally through the rope.
219
00:09:22,187 --> 00:09:24,147
Next up, Box Cutter.
220
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:27,525
He has to go
all the way through,
221
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:29,861
and those boxes do not stop.
222
00:09:33,114 --> 00:09:35,283
- Wow, that's a huge hit.
223
00:09:35,283 --> 00:09:36,785
- Nice.
- Strategically placed.
224
00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:37,911
Good job.
- He needs to move on.
225
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,579
- Okay, second box.
226
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,915
- Needs to counter that spin.
227
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,501
- Oh!
228
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:46,211
Lost that blade a little bit.
- That's what I was
229
00:09:46,211 --> 00:09:48,171
concerned about.
- Readjust.
230
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:54,344
Okay, he sliced the box
off of the tether.
231
00:09:54,344 --> 00:09:55,887
That is a penalty.
232
00:09:55,887 --> 00:09:57,972
Stepping up to Decapitator.
233
00:09:57,972 --> 00:10:00,141
Now, remember, this blade
is very dull.
234
00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:02,102
- I like his approach here.
235
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:03,686
- Did not complete it.
236
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:05,313
Penalty number one.
237
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:07,398
Oh, he went through
the celery.
238
00:10:09,150 --> 00:10:10,568
- Nice.
239
00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:12,028
- Right through
the pineapples.
240
00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:13,947
One penalty on Decapitator.
241
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,449
Ken Woodbury moves on
to Thrice.
242
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:19,619
Cut completely through
all three ice blocks in order.
243
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,540
The Kukri should be
the perfect weapon.
244
00:10:23,540 --> 00:10:25,250
He's got height,
he's got power.
245
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,462
- That is raw force and power.
246
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,799
He hit the wrong piece of ice.
247
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:34,926
That is a penalty.
248
00:10:34,926 --> 00:10:37,137
As always, you got to pay
attention to the rules.
249
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:38,596
Stepping up to Life Line.
250
00:10:38,596 --> 00:10:40,557
He's got to dial it back.
251
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,600
Remember, he must cut through
all three objects.
252
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,603
One cut, or you're done.
253
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:49,107
In compensation for the lack
of sharpness on that blade,
254
00:10:49,107 --> 00:10:52,569
he needs to put a lot
of power behind it.
255
00:10:52,569 --> 00:10:54,237
Okay, here he goes.
- Nice.
256
00:10:54,237 --> 00:10:56,990
- Oh, beautiful cut.
- Made it up with speed.
257
00:10:56,990 --> 00:11:00,493
- Bam, right through.
- I love his angles.
258
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,662
- Beautiful cut there.
He's 6'4", remember.
259
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:06,791
- Nice.
- Beautiful cut on the fish.
260
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:09,169
He is moving on
to Kill Shot.
261
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:12,922
Three chances to cut through
six different ratchet straps.
262
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:15,300
Okay, one down.
263
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:20,096
Okay, two down.
264
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:22,432
One more strike
and he's got to get three.
265
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:28,104
Oh!
266
00:11:28,104 --> 00:11:30,732
One strap short!
267
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:33,860
Ken Woodbury taken down
by Kill Shot.
268
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:35,778
- Ken.
269
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:39,199
- That was actually
an extremely impressive run
270
00:11:39,199 --> 00:11:41,868
'cause this knife
was extremely dull.
271
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:44,746
But you're still left
with a blade that has a chance
272
00:11:44,746 --> 00:11:46,539
if this is far enough
and if you made it here
273
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:49,083
fast enough to continue on
to Dead Run.
274
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:50,668
- Hi, my name is Chad Remus.
275
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:52,670
I'm from Baytown, Texas,
and I'm 35 years old.
276
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:54,714
My two firsts swords
that I made
277
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,633
were 5160 katanas.
278
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:58,051
I've been playing with knives
279
00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,928
since I was about
six years old,
280
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:03,139
and I've been forging
for about two or three months,
281
00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:05,516
ever since I saw this show.
282
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:06,893
- So what do you got there?
283
00:12:06,893 --> 00:12:09,604
- I got a 5160,
4-foot long,
284
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:12,148
3-foot blade,
double-edged sword.
285
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:14,108
- Who made this knife?
- So I made it myself.
286
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:15,944
- What do you have
for heat-treating equipment?
287
00:12:15,944 --> 00:12:17,570
- A custom-made forge
I used.
288
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,281
I built a three-burner forge.
289
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:22,408
- You kind of have
two different bevels here.
290
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:24,744
It looks like this was
maybe designed to be
291
00:12:24,744 --> 00:12:26,621
a sharper bevel.
- Yes, sir.
292
00:12:26,621 --> 00:12:29,791
- And it's ground
to a pretty sharp edge.
293
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:31,501
What's this guard?
294
00:12:31,501 --> 00:12:33,127
- That's a spring
from the shop.
295
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:35,004
- So when did you weld it
in here?
296
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:38,883
- I actually welded this one
before I quenched it.
297
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:41,803
- You welded this on first
and then quenched the blade.
298
00:12:41,803 --> 00:12:44,138
- Yes, sir.
299
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:47,016
- This is a no-no spot
to weld a blade.
300
00:12:49,143 --> 00:12:51,938
By arc-welding this right at
this critical juncture,
301
00:12:51,938 --> 00:12:53,940
we have essentially...
302
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:56,985
very significantly damaged
the steel.
303
00:12:56,985 --> 00:13:00,071
I can think of no example
304
00:13:00,071 --> 00:13:02,240
where welding a guard
on a blade
305
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,285
with an electric arc welder
would be advisable,
306
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:08,121
acceptable, recommended,
or even safe.
307
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:11,499
This is a blade that I cannot
in good conscience
308
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:13,710
allow to compete
309
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:17,380
for the safety issues
that I see in this.
310
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:20,717
I'm sorry, but this blade
does not make the cut.
311
00:13:20,717 --> 00:13:23,303
- Appreciate it, sir.
Thank you.
312
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,388
It's pretty disheartening.
313
00:13:25,388 --> 00:13:28,224
I built a blade real quick
in a few weeks,
314
00:13:28,224 --> 00:13:30,685
made some mistakes
in the process of welding.
315
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:32,603
Oh, I'll be here
for next season.
316
00:13:32,603 --> 00:13:34,897
Next sword I'll build won't
have any welding involved,
317
00:13:34,897 --> 00:13:38,026
and I'll just forge it all out
of one big piece of steel.
318
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:40,194
- I am Zack Gulick.
I am 19.
319
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:41,946
I just got done
graduating high school,
320
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:44,282
and right now
I'm in the middle
321
00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:45,783
of starting out
apprenticeships
322
00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:47,368
with horseshoers
to become a farrier.
323
00:13:47,368 --> 00:13:49,287
I have been making blades
for about two years now.
324
00:13:49,287 --> 00:13:51,539
I brought a modified kukri.
325
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:54,167
It is about 12 inches long
for the cutting edge.
326
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:58,463
- So what do you got there?
- A kukri that I made.
327
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,506
- All right.
How long ago did you make this?
328
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,175
- Six months ago,
and it's all made
329
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:05,636
out of one piece that I just
hand-forged on my anvil.
330
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:08,639
- Our profile's definitely
a little odd.
331
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,767
You would have had
a lot of mass forward...
332
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,894
- Mm-hmm.
- But we have a lot of mass
333
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:15,063
in this...back here.
- Yes, sir.
334
00:14:15,063 --> 00:14:16,564
- What do you call this thing?
335
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:17,857
- Don't really have
a name for it.
336
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:19,525
I just thought
that would look cool
337
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:20,568
and function and make it
so my hand can't really fall
338
00:14:20,568 --> 00:14:21,986
out the back of the knife.
339
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:23,738
- What I'm kind of feeling
back here
340
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:26,115
was making sure that there
weren't really any sharp edges.
341
00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:28,326
There kind of are right here.
342
00:14:28,326 --> 00:14:30,078
That stretches out
the leverage...
343
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:31,913
- Mm-hmm.
- But then it also puts my hand
344
00:14:31,913 --> 00:14:34,290
right in contact with this.
345
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,335
We've had problems on the show
with knives that didn't have
346
00:14:37,335 --> 00:14:40,963
a proper handle, and the user
would get hurt.
347
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:42,924
So I'm just gonna take
a few swings for safety.
348
00:14:42,924 --> 00:14:44,801
- All right, sweet.
349
00:14:47,929 --> 00:14:49,972
- This is not a pretty blade.
- Yeah.
350
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,933
- But it cuts great.
- Yeah.
351
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:54,143
- Even thought we have this
little bit of exposed tang,
352
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:55,978
there's plenty of real estate
to grab the handle properly...
353
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:57,855
- Yeah.
- And away from those
354
00:14:57,855 --> 00:14:59,774
sharp deals.
355
00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:02,026
So I'm not too worried
about that.
356
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:03,820
Congratulations,
it makes the cut.
357
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:05,530
- Perfect.
Thank you, sir.
358
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:07,740
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
359
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:11,744
- Zack Gulick,
360
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:14,288
the young fighting farrier.
361
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:16,415
This kid shoes
20 horses a day.
362
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:20,670
- This country-strong kid
brings a modified kukri.
363
00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:23,714
Normally used
by the Nepalese Gurkhas.
364
00:15:23,714 --> 00:15:26,884
These Gurkhas, they're one
of the most fierce soldiers.
365
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:29,846
My only concern is
it's not really made to slash,
366
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:31,514
and that could cause
some problems on Kill Shot.
367
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:33,307
- Let's see how he takes on
this course.
368
00:15:33,307 --> 00:15:35,726
You know, youth can be an asset
369
00:15:35,726 --> 00:15:38,437
or a detriment.
370
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:40,231
Boom!
One slice right through
371
00:15:40,231 --> 00:15:41,399
the rope.
- I like the double--
372
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:42,984
the double grip.
373
00:15:42,984 --> 00:15:44,485
He needs to come in
at a angle.
374
00:15:44,485 --> 00:15:46,154
- Yep, that's
a vertical slice.
375
00:15:49,198 --> 00:15:51,117
Boy, he crushed that.
376
00:15:52,952 --> 00:15:54,662
- Wow, he put his whole body
into that.
377
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,289
- He did, and we've seen kids
378
00:15:56,289 --> 00:15:57,707
with the youthful
exuberance before
379
00:15:57,707 --> 00:16:00,042
using it against their time.
380
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:02,712
This kid looks calm,
he looks collected.
381
00:16:02,712 --> 00:16:04,422
- He knows how
to generate power,
382
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:05,673
as Long as he stays
lead of that target
383
00:16:05,673 --> 00:16:07,633
and meet that force.
384
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:08,926
Look at that, Bill.
He comes in at the corner.
385
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,429
He's really accurate.
386
00:16:11,429 --> 00:16:14,307
- Wow, what a great shot!
387
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:17,185
- He's--he's slowly picking
his angles of attack.
388
00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:20,521
He's not just rushing it,
he's not just swinging freely.
389
00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:22,815
- Okay, Zack moves on
to second box.
390
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:27,945
- He needs to counter-spin.
- Not the proper strategy
391
00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:29,655
on that second box.
- He's doubling up.
392
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,532
He's trying to generate
more power.
393
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:32,950
- Well, what he's doing
right now is he's generating
394
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:35,244
more of a spin
on that box.
395
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:37,371
Oh, and the box is released!
396
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:39,582
That is a penalty.
397
00:16:39,582 --> 00:16:41,667
You know, he spun that box
so much it literally fell off.
398
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:43,044
And that's part of the rules.
399
00:16:43,044 --> 00:16:44,670
You got to cut
through the box.
400
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,380
You can't knock it off
its platform.
401
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:48,507
Stepping up to Decapitator.
402
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,301
- All right, he needs
to compose himself.
403
00:16:50,301 --> 00:16:53,262
He needs to drop his level,
get that horizontal cut,
404
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:55,473
and then swing right through
all the items.
405
00:16:55,473 --> 00:16:57,934
- Here he goes.
406
00:16:57,934 --> 00:17:00,228
Oh, very poor effort.
407
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:01,604
There's one penalty.
408
00:17:01,604 --> 00:17:03,439
Oh, he got the second one now.
409
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,944
Nope, he missed
the last pineapple.
410
00:17:07,944 --> 00:17:10,446
Two penalties
on Decapitator.
411
00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:12,615
He rushed it a little bit, too.
- He did.
412
00:17:12,615 --> 00:17:14,700
- Steps up to Thrice.
413
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:16,535
Remember,
cut completely through
414
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:19,413
all three ice blocks in order.
415
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:21,207
- He has the youth,
he has the power
416
00:17:21,207 --> 00:17:23,042
to get through it.
- That's power.
417
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:24,877
- Boom, third strike
right through the first block.
418
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,796
- He's not going in order.
419
00:17:26,796 --> 00:17:28,422
He hit the wrong piece of ice.
420
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:30,424
That is a penalty.
421
00:17:30,424 --> 00:17:32,301
You have to pay attention
to the rules, Tu.
422
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:34,887
Next up, Life Line.
423
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,931
- Geometry on his blade
will hook that item
424
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:39,016
back on the blade path.
425
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:41,519
- Beautiful job. Sliced right
through the chicken.
426
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,813
Take his time. Got to go
right through the tubing.
427
00:17:43,813 --> 00:17:45,773
- Look how he's driving down
from the ground.
428
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:47,942
- Next up, the fish.
- Nice.
429
00:17:47,942 --> 00:17:51,362
- Beautiful job. Great
follow-through, great power.
430
00:17:51,362 --> 00:17:54,031
- Now, Bill, I am concerned
about Kill Shot.
431
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:57,451
He only has 12 inches
of recurve blade.
432
00:17:57,451 --> 00:17:59,704
That means this is more
of a chopping blade
433
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:02,748
versus a slashing blade.
- Here we go.
434
00:18:06,294 --> 00:18:08,421
- Oh!
Two swings, two straps down.
435
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,089
He's got to get
four more straps.
436
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:14,343
- You have to slash
those ratchets
437
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:16,012
and not chop at it.
438
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:20,433
- And he did not get any more.
439
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:23,102
Zack taken down by Kill Shot.
440
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:25,062
- He more went with
an impact swing
441
00:18:25,062 --> 00:18:27,982
versus a slashing swing,
and I was concerned about it
442
00:18:27,982 --> 00:18:30,109
because the geometry
of the kukri
443
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:32,528
has a recurve on it--
he ran out of blade.
444
00:18:32,528 --> 00:18:34,614
- I'm happy with the way
that my blade help up.
445
00:18:34,614 --> 00:18:36,115
I just wish I probably
would have put
446
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,783
a little bit
sharper of an edge on it.
447
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:43,164
- I'm Bobby Cannon.
I'm 49 years old.
448
00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:44,957
I began
my martial arts training
449
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,209
when I was five
with my Uncle Jess.
450
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,879
He trained me until I was 13.
451
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:53,716
He taught me to do everything
with both hands...
452
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:56,594
and so he named me
"Little Bobby Two-Hands."
453
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,346
Two days after
I graduated high school,
454
00:18:58,346 --> 00:19:00,097
I went to the Army,
455
00:19:00,097 --> 00:19:01,807
trained with people
from all over the world,
456
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,559
became who I am today.
457
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:06,520
- What do you got there?
- This is a clave.
458
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,399
Long enough that I wouldn't
consider it a combat machete,
459
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:13,402
but not as long as I would
consider it a sword.
460
00:19:13,402 --> 00:19:16,906
I commissioned for this blade
to be made in this fashion.
461
00:19:16,906 --> 00:19:18,991
- So the recurve of this
462
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:23,663
would be this slight S shape,
or this drop in the profile
463
00:19:23,663 --> 00:19:26,290
that creates more belly.
- Yes, sir.
464
00:19:26,290 --> 00:19:28,459
- If this came
straight in here,
465
00:19:28,459 --> 00:19:32,088
we wouldn't have quite
this proud curve right in here.
466
00:19:32,088 --> 00:19:33,464
- Correct.
- And so, by having
467
00:19:33,464 --> 00:19:36,550
that indentation,
what it does for us--
468
00:19:36,550 --> 00:19:38,135
and I'm not actually
gonna swing it--
469
00:19:38,135 --> 00:19:40,721
but as we come through here,
well, my wrist
470
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:42,515
can only go
that straight forward,
471
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:45,267
and having that contour drop
472
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:47,937
or the handle drop creates
473
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:51,273
a better approach
in the most powerful part
474
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:53,275
of this blade.
- Yes, sir.
475
00:19:53,275 --> 00:19:56,112
- I'm gonna go ahead
and strap in.
476
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:02,243
- Wicked nice, ain't she?
477
00:20:04,495 --> 00:20:06,706
- It has a great weight
and balance.
478
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:08,666
Congratulations.
- Thank you much.
479
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:10,501
- This definitely
makes the cut.
480
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:11,877
I look forward to seeing
what you do with it.
481
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:12,878
- Thank you, sir.
482
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:19,719
- Here he comes--
Bobby Cannon,
483
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,637
"Little Bobby Two-Hands,"
49 years old,
484
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:23,264
Greensboro, North Carolina.
485
00:20:23,264 --> 00:20:24,765
Surgical assistant,
486
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:26,892
martial artist,
and Army veteran.
487
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:29,979
- He comes to us today with
a 20-inch cutting-edge blade.
488
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:32,481
I love the geometry
on this blade, Bill.
489
00:20:32,481 --> 00:20:34,567
This is a cutting weapon.
490
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,360
This thing is made
to slice,
491
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,862
and it's made to chop.
492
00:20:37,862 --> 00:20:39,613
- Martial arts background--
493
00:20:39,613 --> 00:20:43,492
we see that
in his attire today.
494
00:20:43,492 --> 00:20:46,203
Bobby Cannon steps up
to Trifecta.
495
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:48,914
- Boom, right through.
496
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:50,666
- This thing is
a powerful blade.
497
00:20:50,666 --> 00:20:52,877
- Powerful, and look
at his body positioning.
498
00:20:52,877 --> 00:20:54,670
He is putting everything
he has into that swing.
499
00:20:54,670 --> 00:20:56,213
- He needs to come in
at a angle.
500
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:02,178
- Through the bamboo.
Next up, the rope.
501
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:06,140
- He comes in at a angle,
502
00:21:06,140 --> 00:21:07,850
or that blade's gonna
snap back at him.
503
00:21:09,894 --> 00:21:11,520
- Done with Trifecta.
504
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,898
Bobby Cannon moves on
to Box Cutter.
505
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:15,858
Okay, here he goes.
506
00:21:19,069 --> 00:21:20,738
- He needs to counter
that spin.
507
00:21:20,738 --> 00:21:22,406
Doesn't look like he's
very accurate
508
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:24,408
in his attacking approach.
509
00:21:24,408 --> 00:21:27,369
- They're powerful strikes
for "Bobby Two-Hands."
510
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:30,498
He is almost through
the first box.
511
00:21:30,498 --> 00:21:32,583
And he gets it.
512
00:21:32,583 --> 00:21:34,251
- He's not moving on
with a purpose.
513
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:38,297
- I don't like
these flat strikes on the box.
514
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:40,049
- You have to hit the corners
of this box.
515
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:43,803
- Wasted a lot of energy,
lot of time here
516
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:45,054
at Box Cutter.
517
00:21:45,054 --> 00:21:46,430
Finding it a little difficult
518
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:48,224
to get through
that second box.
519
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,021
- Second box eliminated.
520
00:21:54,021 --> 00:21:55,940
Moves on to Decapitator.
521
00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:59,151
Let's just see how
he attacks Decapitator.
522
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:01,737
Here he goes.
- He missed it.
523
00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:03,781
- No horizontal
strike through.
524
00:22:03,781 --> 00:22:06,075
He didn't lower his body.
525
00:22:06,075 --> 00:22:08,577
Got the second one.
526
00:22:08,577 --> 00:22:11,163
And the third one, got that.
527
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:17,127
Little Bobby Two-Hands
moves on to Thrice.
528
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:18,671
- Proper technique
with his power,
529
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,422
he will cut them through
no problem.
530
00:22:20,422 --> 00:22:22,842
- First one.
Two strikes, done.
531
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,135
Bobby Cannon moves on
to the second obstacle.
532
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:26,387
- Wow!
- One strike, done!
533
00:22:26,387 --> 00:22:28,472
- That power!
534
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:30,558
- Ah, he was relying
on one strike there.
535
00:22:30,558 --> 00:22:33,686
Two strikes,
Thrice completed.
536
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:35,855
He's moving on to Life Line.
537
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:37,982
- He's making incredible time
through this.
538
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:40,317
Let's see if he hits
the proper angle.
539
00:22:40,317 --> 00:22:42,695
- Boom, right through.
540
00:22:42,695 --> 00:22:44,446
He should have
everything in place
541
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:46,407
to complete this task.
- Nice.
542
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:48,617
- Right through the tubing.
- I like his angles.
543
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,578
- Steps up to the fish.
Can he do it?
544
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:52,496
- Studying the fish.
- Boom!
545
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:54,373
Beautiful stroke
right through.
546
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,625
Nice twirl on the blade.
547
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:59,253
Stepping up to Kill Shot.
548
00:22:59,253 --> 00:23:01,005
And most importantly,
he needs to pick
549
00:23:01,005 --> 00:23:03,924
the proper way through
these six straps.
550
00:23:03,924 --> 00:23:05,467
And that is not it.
551
00:23:05,467 --> 00:23:07,845
First swing, one strap.
552
00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:11,265
Okay, he left three hanging.
553
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:13,267
Second swing--
- He can do it! He can do it!
554
00:23:13,267 --> 00:23:15,185
- One more strike,
and he's through.
555
00:23:18,856 --> 00:23:20,149
- Yes!
556
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:21,942
- Boom, and he's done!
557
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:24,028
What a recovery!
Bobby "Two-Hands" Cannon...
558
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:25,571
- Wow!
- Moves on,
559
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:27,781
completes Knife Fight.
560
00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:29,074
- That was impressive.
561
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:31,118
- That was a hell
of a recovery.
562
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,995
- I was a little bit concerned
after that first swing.
563
00:23:32,995 --> 00:23:35,706
- He changed his approach
mid-obstacle,
564
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:36,874
and he completed it.
565
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:39,126
Kill Shot,
he made his bitch.
566
00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:45,090
- I am so happy
to be greeting you here
567
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:47,092
at the finish line
of Knife Fight.
568
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,761
- Amazing.
569
00:23:48,761 --> 00:23:51,847
- This blade has held up
actually very well.
570
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:53,599
We got a few little burrs
in here...
571
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:55,017
- The way they should be.
572
00:23:55,017 --> 00:23:56,727
- And then pristine edge,
a burr.
573
00:23:56,727 --> 00:23:58,437
You got to be thinking about,
574
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:01,398
how is this gonna do
575
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:03,400
with your chances
going in to Dead Run?
576
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,860
- Right.
577
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:06,987
- Here's your blade,
and good luck.
578
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:09,490
- I need a IV.
That was exhilarating,
579
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:11,450
exhausting, wonderful.
580
00:24:14,244 --> 00:24:16,956
- I'm Rashelle Hams,
I am 51 years old,
581
00:24:16,956 --> 00:24:18,624
and I am living
in Portland, Oregon.
582
00:24:18,624 --> 00:24:20,292
I'm a bladesmith
and blacksmith instructor
583
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:21,961
at an outdoor survival school.
584
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,963
I was on "Forged in Fire."
I came in third.
585
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,173
And now I'm looking
for a little bit of redemption.
586
00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:29,009
- So what do you got there?
- Got a gladius I made.
587
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,803
- How long ago
did you make this?
588
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:33,097
- A few years ago.
- So what's the blade steel?
589
00:24:33,097 --> 00:24:35,182
- 5160.
- Nice springy, tough steel.
590
00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:36,892
- Yep.
- We have a hidden
591
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:38,852
tang construction
that means there's
592
00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:40,771
very little weight
in this handle,
593
00:24:40,771 --> 00:24:42,898
and with that
double-edge construction,
594
00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:44,733
it can make this
a very formidable cutter.
595
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:46,610
Let's take a few swings
for safety.
596
00:24:46,610 --> 00:24:48,320
- All right.
597
00:24:51,991 --> 00:24:54,576
The dynamics of this blade
cut very well,
598
00:24:54,576 --> 00:24:56,787
although for my hand...
- It's a little small.
599
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:58,998
- This handle's a little bit
on the skinny side
600
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:00,666
and a little on the...
- Yeah, yeah.
601
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:02,668
- And so that's gonna be
a big deciding deal
602
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,420
because it's not made
to fit my hand.
603
00:25:04,420 --> 00:25:05,838
- Right.
- Congratulations.
604
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:07,631
Your knife makes the cut.
- Thank you.
605
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,049
- Good luck.
- All right.
606
00:25:10,801 --> 00:25:14,346
- Portland, Oregon's own
Rashelle Hams--
607
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,598
the blacksmith
and bladesmith instructor
608
00:25:16,598 --> 00:25:18,017
and a survivalist,
609
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:20,602
"Forged in Fire" veteran.
610
00:25:20,602 --> 00:25:23,731
This, Tu, is one
tough cookie.
611
00:25:23,731 --> 00:25:25,482
- Definitely.
She comes today
612
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:28,027
with the modified
Roman gladius sword.
613
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:30,487
It was used by
Roman foot soldiers.
614
00:25:30,487 --> 00:25:32,364
Devastating
on the battlefield.
615
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:35,576
- Today she starts
with Trifecta.
616
00:25:37,578 --> 00:25:40,122
- Wow.
- She just destroyed
617
00:25:40,122 --> 00:25:41,915
that PVC.
- That's a lot of power.
618
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:46,003
All right, see how she's
coming in at those angles?
619
00:25:46,003 --> 00:25:48,672
She's creating that gap.
620
00:25:48,672 --> 00:25:51,675
- Look at the power she's got.
621
00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:54,386
Now she steps up to the rope.
622
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:57,973
She is through.
- Rashelle knows how
623
00:25:57,973 --> 00:25:59,558
to generate power,
you can see,
624
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:01,602
through
her body mechanics.
625
00:26:01,602 --> 00:26:03,937
- She's about to step up
to Box Cutter.
626
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:06,440
Here Rashelle goes.
627
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,567
- I like how she's attacking
the corners.
628
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,819
- Two hands on that sword--
looks like a good strategy.
629
00:26:10,819 --> 00:26:13,238
- She's putting her whole body
into the swing.
630
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:18,202
- Okay, one final swipe
at that box,
631
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:20,704
moves to number two.
632
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,956
- She came in more
of a steep angle.
633
00:26:22,956 --> 00:26:24,958
Notice how she's attacking
the corners now, Bill.
634
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:27,044
- Very smart.
635
00:26:27,044 --> 00:26:29,129
- Wow!
636
00:26:32,049 --> 00:26:34,718
- That second box is done.
637
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:36,762
Rashelle Hams moves on.
638
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:40,057
Now, she is taking a couple
deep breaths there.
639
00:26:40,057 --> 00:26:42,559
Stepping up to Decapitator.
640
00:26:45,395 --> 00:26:47,606
Ooh, that's a miss.
641
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:50,067
She's gassed. She's got to
take her time
642
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:52,402
and take it down
the way it should be.
643
00:26:52,402 --> 00:26:54,321
Nope, another miss
on the pineapple.
644
00:26:54,321 --> 00:26:56,323
Steps up to the celery.
645
00:26:56,323 --> 00:26:57,741
Right through it.
- Nice.
646
00:26:57,741 --> 00:26:59,827
- One for three
on Decapitator.
647
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:01,537
She's got to be disappointed
648
00:27:01,537 --> 00:27:03,539
at what she just did
on Decapitator.
649
00:27:03,539 --> 00:27:05,124
Next up, Thrice.
650
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:06,917
- I see her generating
651
00:27:06,917 --> 00:27:08,836
a lot of power
through this apparatus.
652
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:10,921
- Here she goes.
- Wow.
653
00:27:10,921 --> 00:27:12,297
- Good technique.
654
00:27:12,297 --> 00:27:14,216
Compromising both sides.
655
00:27:14,216 --> 00:27:15,801
Boom, she's through
the first one.
656
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:19,054
On to the second block of ice.
657
00:27:19,054 --> 00:27:22,057
She is using both sides
of this blade.
658
00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:23,892
There she goes.
Number two complete.
659
00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:24,935
Number three...
660
00:27:27,229 --> 00:27:30,232
- Look how she's
winding up for that power.
661
00:27:30,232 --> 00:27:33,694
- Boom. there she goes.
662
00:27:33,694 --> 00:27:35,237
- Look at her, she's winded.
663
00:27:35,237 --> 00:27:37,155
She's basically gassed.
664
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:38,949
That's why cardio
is so important
665
00:27:38,949 --> 00:27:41,034
when it comes
to this competition.
666
00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:43,370
You know, she needs
to dig deep and focus.
667
00:27:43,370 --> 00:27:45,205
- Here she goes.
668
00:27:47,791 --> 00:27:49,251
- Nice!
- Beautiful job.
669
00:27:49,251 --> 00:27:50,252
Right through the chicken.
670
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:52,004
Next up, the tubing.
671
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:57,301
Boom!
Great job.
672
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,261
Blue powder exposed.
Next up, the fish.
673
00:27:59,261 --> 00:28:01,847
Let's see how she attacks it.
674
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:05,976
Wow, Rashelle takes
that fish down.
675
00:28:05,976 --> 00:28:07,311
Beautiful slice.
676
00:28:07,311 --> 00:28:09,563
- That is the perfect example
677
00:28:09,563 --> 00:28:12,649
of angles and power-through.
678
00:28:12,649 --> 00:28:14,735
- Let's see how she attacks
Kill Shot.
679
00:28:14,735 --> 00:28:16,069
- You know, Bill,
I'm a little concerned
680
00:28:16,069 --> 00:28:18,405
about her mind-set here.
681
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:22,326
Up until now, she's been doing
more of a impact type of swing.
682
00:28:22,326 --> 00:28:25,954
If she attacks this with more
of a slash back,
683
00:28:25,954 --> 00:28:28,415
with the sword pulling back
on her body,
684
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:30,417
it's gonna generate
enough power on that slash
685
00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:32,336
to cut through.
686
00:28:32,336 --> 00:28:34,755
- Whoa!
She only got one strap there.
687
00:28:34,755 --> 00:28:37,049
Two more.
688
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:39,384
Only one strap.
689
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:41,803
This is gonna be a tall task.
690
00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:44,806
One strike to get through
four straps.
691
00:28:44,806 --> 00:28:46,391
And boom.
692
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,852
Taken down by Kill Shot.
693
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:51,605
Rashelle Hams, unfortunately,
694
00:28:51,605 --> 00:28:54,316
did not have the right strategy
on Kill Shot.
695
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:56,902
- When she walked up,
she's more impact type of hit
696
00:28:56,902 --> 00:28:59,446
versus a slashing hit.
697
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:02,491
- Rashelle, I'm sorry
that I'm meeting with you here.
698
00:29:02,491 --> 00:29:04,952
You weren't taking
no light swings,
699
00:29:04,952 --> 00:29:08,372
and the way that this knife
held up throughout the course--
700
00:29:08,372 --> 00:29:10,207
we'll just see if it's
impressive enough
701
00:29:10,207 --> 00:29:11,792
to put you outside.
- Thank you.
702
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:13,418
We'll hope so. All right.
- Thank you.
703
00:29:19,049 --> 00:29:20,384
- Blade wielders,
704
00:29:20,384 --> 00:29:22,511
congratulations
on your efforts today.
705
00:29:22,511 --> 00:29:25,055
However, only one of you
completed Knife Fight.
706
00:29:25,055 --> 00:29:28,058
With a time of 3:55,
707
00:29:28,058 --> 00:29:29,977
Bobby.
708
00:29:29,977 --> 00:29:31,603
Congratulations.
You're moving on to Dead Run.
709
00:29:31,603 --> 00:29:32,854
- Thank you, sir.
710
00:29:32,854 --> 00:29:34,106
Confidence is strong.
711
00:29:34,106 --> 00:29:36,066
If I can equal what I just did,
712
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:38,235
I have a good chance
to win it all.
713
00:29:38,235 --> 00:29:41,279
- You four made it
as far as Kill Shot.
714
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:44,783
With a time...
715
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,327
of 4:01...
716
00:29:49,496 --> 00:29:52,541
The competitor to face Bobby
in Dead Run is...
717
00:29:58,046 --> 00:29:59,715
Joel.
718
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,425
- I'm super proud to be here.
719
00:30:01,425 --> 00:30:03,176
I'm super proud
of my performance.
720
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:05,012
I can't wait to do Dead Run.
721
00:30:05,012 --> 00:30:06,722
I can't wait to see what
the course has in store for us.
722
00:30:08,807 --> 00:30:10,809
- Congratulations,
Bobby and Joel.
723
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:13,353
Whatever you did
to prepare yourself
724
00:30:13,353 --> 00:30:15,522
for today's course,
you'd better ramp
725
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:17,482
that puppy up times ten,
726
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:21,069
because Dead Run
is a whole different animal.
727
00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:23,613
Gentlemen,
go get your blades ready.
728
00:30:23,613 --> 00:30:25,490
- I'm super proud to be here.
729
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,868
I'm super proud of my
performance, and I'm honored.
730
00:30:27,868 --> 00:30:29,786
- I can smell it.
I can taste it.
731
00:30:29,786 --> 00:30:30,871
I am ready to face Dead Run.
732
00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:35,542
- While Knife Fight was
the ultimate test of blades,
733
00:30:35,542 --> 00:30:38,670
Dead Run is the ultimate test
of speed, timing,
734
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:40,881
accuracy, and precision.
735
00:30:40,881 --> 00:30:42,591
Remember, in Dead Run,
736
00:30:42,591 --> 00:30:44,468
the clock never stops.
737
00:30:44,468 --> 00:30:46,178
For every challenge
not completed,
738
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:48,472
a 20-second penalty
will be added.
739
00:30:48,472 --> 00:30:51,558
Okay, we have two
traditional martial artists
740
00:30:51,558 --> 00:30:54,227
going head-to-head--
741
00:30:54,227 --> 00:30:57,397
different styles,
different approaches.
742
00:30:57,397 --> 00:30:59,983
Let's see if they have
similar runs.
743
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:03,987
Joel Rice takes on Dead Run.
744
00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:06,198
He's got youth on his side.
745
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:08,742
He's not worried about
wasting too much energy
746
00:31:08,742 --> 00:31:12,621
because he is dancing
in the ring of fire right now.
747
00:31:12,621 --> 00:31:15,040
- Trained in
Kali martial arts.
748
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,792
He should be able
to be proficient
749
00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:18,418
at moving targets.
750
00:31:18,418 --> 00:31:19,961
- Okay, here he goes.
751
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:21,922
Stepping up to Chopper.
752
00:31:21,922 --> 00:31:24,216
We have two mats, and we have
two pieces of wood.
753
00:31:24,216 --> 00:31:26,051
He's got to cut through
all of them.
754
00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:28,261
First up, 1x3.
755
00:31:28,261 --> 00:31:29,930
Strategic strikes.
756
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:31,556
Powerful.
757
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:33,391
Good strike--
he's almost there.
758
00:31:33,391 --> 00:31:36,019
- He has proficient
body mechanics, Bill.
759
00:31:36,019 --> 00:31:38,063
- That he does.
760
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:40,774
Ooh, okay, missed there.
761
00:31:40,774 --> 00:31:43,151
- Nice, he's through.
- He's all the way through.
762
00:31:43,151 --> 00:31:45,987
Moving on to the mat.
- Look at his footwork.
763
00:31:45,987 --> 00:31:47,781
He's moving as the target
is moving.
764
00:31:47,781 --> 00:31:49,991
- Not over-leading himself.
765
00:31:49,991 --> 00:31:51,952
Beautiful.
He's right through the mat.
766
00:31:51,952 --> 00:31:54,704
Now he moves on
to the wood again.
767
00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:56,581
Nice, powerful strike.
- That is power!
768
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:58,667
- Two strokes right through,
on to the last mat.
769
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:00,710
Doesn't look like he's
wasting much energy.
770
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,755
There he goes.
- Nice!
771
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,507
- Okay, moving on
to Ball Buster.
772
00:32:05,507 --> 00:32:07,175
Nine balls coming down--
he's got to slice them
773
00:32:07,175 --> 00:32:09,052
before they hit the floor.
774
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:10,887
- Let's see how he does
with his angle of attack.
775
00:32:12,806 --> 00:32:14,599
- Missed it.
776
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,226
Okay, oh-for-two.
777
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:18,562
He's got to figure out a way
to get this done.
778
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:20,647
One for three.
779
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:22,566
Two for four.
- Notice how he changed up
780
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:24,192
his pitch, his angle.
781
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:25,902
- Boom.
Great strategy change.
782
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:28,989
Nice.
783
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:30,699
- Look at the size
of that blade.
784
00:32:30,699 --> 00:32:32,617
Perfect blade
for this apparatus.
785
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:34,619
- Got that one.
786
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:36,746
He's thinking on his feet.
He's doing a great job.
787
00:32:36,746 --> 00:32:38,999
- Wow!
- What a terrific showing
788
00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:40,625
at Ball Buster.
789
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:42,377
Only two penalties.
790
00:32:42,377 --> 00:32:44,546
Moving on to Flying Target.
791
00:32:44,546 --> 00:32:46,715
Remember, the competitor
must cut three ropes
792
00:32:46,715 --> 00:32:49,843
that each release
a swinging piece of meat.
793
00:32:49,843 --> 00:32:53,180
Meat must be cut so that
one half lands on the grill
794
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:54,973
behind the competitor.
795
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,811
Oh!
Just missed on the first one.
796
00:32:59,811 --> 00:33:01,438
- Little bit too late.
797
00:33:01,438 --> 00:33:03,607
He needs to adjust
his point of aim.
798
00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:06,651
Nice!
- Got that one!
799
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,279
Last one.
800
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,614
See how he does.
801
00:33:13,742 --> 00:33:15,785
Nope, missed the grill.
802
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:17,537
- You don't want
to cut too low.
803
00:33:17,537 --> 00:33:19,080
- Two penalties.
804
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,041
Up next, Free Fall.
805
00:33:21,041 --> 00:33:24,336
He needs to cut each piece
of fruit as it drops.
806
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:26,213
Oh, boom.
Got the first one.
807
00:33:26,213 --> 00:33:28,340
One for one.
808
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:31,843
Two for two.
- He needs to move with speed.
809
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:33,637
- Three for three.
Great job.
810
00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:36,264
Four for four.
811
00:33:36,264 --> 00:33:38,141
- It's all about
precision here.
812
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:39,643
- Boom, right through
that one.
813
00:33:41,061 --> 00:33:43,104
- Flawless in his technique.
814
00:33:43,104 --> 00:33:45,357
- He's doing a great job.
- He's perfect right now.
815
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:46,608
- He is perfect.
816
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:49,319
Great job.
817
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,404
- Yes!
- Final one at Free Fall.
818
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:53,531
- Wow.
- He gets it!
819
00:33:53,531 --> 00:33:55,492
Moving on to Fire in the Hole.
- He got it all, Bill.
820
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,869
- Cut completely through
the 400-pound block of ice
821
00:33:57,869 --> 00:33:59,829
to trigger the flame.
822
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:01,581
- He has an extra-small blade.
823
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:03,500
He needs to generate
a lot of power.
824
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:06,836
- Wow! Nice!
825
00:34:06,836 --> 00:34:08,755
- Two strikes,
and he's through!
826
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:10,632
Boy, that was a great job.
827
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:12,342
Moving on to Crash Landing.
828
00:34:12,342 --> 00:34:14,010
Cut completely through
the flying targets
829
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:16,096
as they zip past you.
830
00:34:16,096 --> 00:34:18,265
After that, destroy the crate
to release the contents.
831
00:34:18,265 --> 00:34:20,183
Beautiful strike!
832
00:34:20,183 --> 00:34:21,851
- His timing is perfect.
833
00:34:23,478 --> 00:34:24,813
Nice!
- Great job!
834
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:26,314
Moving on.
835
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:30,360
That's not
all the way through.
836
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,861
- That's a penalty.
837
00:34:35,365 --> 00:34:38,368
- Another penalty.
- This blade is 13 inches.
838
00:34:38,368 --> 00:34:40,662
Not a lot of cutting edge.
- Okay, here he goes.
839
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:42,789
He's got to release
that red ball.
840
00:34:42,789 --> 00:34:45,292
- He needs to stop that spin.
841
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:46,376
- And he did.
842
00:34:46,376 --> 00:34:47,502
Great job.
843
00:34:48,878 --> 00:34:50,922
There we go!
- Yes! Go!
844
00:34:52,257 --> 00:34:54,217
- Moves on to Fire Storm!
845
00:34:56,928 --> 00:34:58,513
He ascends the stairs.
846
00:34:58,513 --> 00:35:00,932
One final cut,
and he is through!
847
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:02,934
- Let's just hope his time
848
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:05,312
was fast enough to make up
for all of those penalties.
849
00:35:05,312 --> 00:35:07,856
I love this kid.
I like his spirit.
850
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:11,318
I love his mind-set,
his accuracy here.
851
00:35:11,318 --> 00:35:14,404
- That was almost flawless.
852
00:35:14,404 --> 00:35:16,740
But let's see what he got
in penalties.
853
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:19,284
Joel had...
854
00:35:19,284 --> 00:35:22,412
six penalties.
855
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:26,708
Wow, Tu, lots of penalties
but a very fast run.
856
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:29,169
Next up facing Dead Run--
857
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:33,340
Little Bobby
"Two-Hands" Cannon.
858
00:35:33,340 --> 00:35:35,091
- You know, when I'm looking
at Bobby,
859
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:38,136
I would look
at more of his precision.
860
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:41,556
This guy is more seasoned.
He has more experience.
861
00:35:41,556 --> 00:35:45,101
He has better blade geometry
over Joel.
862
00:35:45,101 --> 00:35:46,978
- I've spent my whole life
in the service,
863
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:49,105
my whole life in the service
of my family,
864
00:35:49,105 --> 00:35:51,608
and I want to finally put on
a showcase
865
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:53,485
and show them
who Bobby Cannon is.
866
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:55,987
And I want my name
to mean something.
867
00:35:55,987 --> 00:35:59,658
- He was the only one
that completed Knife Fight.
868
00:35:59,658 --> 00:36:02,202
Former combat medic
from the 101st--
869
00:36:02,202 --> 00:36:05,330
he's here to demonstrate how
proficient he is on the blade.
870
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:07,248
- Well, he better be
proficient.
871
00:36:07,248 --> 00:36:10,919
You know, I got to say,
this is an absolute toss-up.
872
00:36:10,919 --> 00:36:13,588
This is one hell of a final,
873
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:15,840
and I'm very excited
to see it.
874
00:36:17,384 --> 00:36:18,927
- Stepping up to Chopper.
875
00:36:18,927 --> 00:36:20,387
What's first?
876
00:36:20,387 --> 00:36:21,971
- That's a lot of power.
877
00:36:21,971 --> 00:36:23,682
- He put his whole body
into that swing.
878
00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:25,642
- Yeah, and nothing happened,
though.
879
00:36:25,642 --> 00:36:27,560
- He has to come in
more angle.
880
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,354
- Yep.
Another vertical strike.
881
00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:31,773
- Now he's tracking it.
882
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:33,817
Look at his footwork, Bill.
- He's tracking it.
883
00:36:33,817 --> 00:36:35,485
He's doing a good job.
884
00:36:35,485 --> 00:36:37,654
He is taking his time.
885
00:36:37,654 --> 00:36:40,657
Kept his body positioning
proper.
886
00:36:40,657 --> 00:36:43,451
- Now he's dropping his knees.
- Through the mat.
887
00:36:43,451 --> 00:36:45,912
On to the wood.
888
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:48,123
- Wow!
- One strike right through!
889
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,710
- All right,
trying to do same thing there.
890
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:54,379
- He's almost through.
That's a lot of power.
891
00:36:54,379 --> 00:36:56,214
- Three strikes right through
the second mat.
892
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:58,675
Moving on to the last piece
of wood.
893
00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:00,510
- Nice!
894
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:02,595
- One shot right through.
- He needs to move!
895
00:37:02,595 --> 00:37:04,097
- Beautiful job.
896
00:37:04,097 --> 00:37:05,932
On to Ball Buster.
897
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:09,144
That is one difficult obstacle
right there...
898
00:37:09,144 --> 00:37:13,022
with a blade of such length.
899
00:37:13,022 --> 00:37:15,900
Slice nine balls in half
before they hit the floor.
900
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,153
- No, he missed it.
901
00:37:18,153 --> 00:37:19,529
- He got that one.
902
00:37:20,864 --> 00:37:22,365
Miss.
903
00:37:23,658 --> 00:37:24,617
Got that one.
904
00:37:26,161 --> 00:37:28,329
He got it,
he sliced a bit off.
905
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:30,123
Tu, using two hands...
- Wow.
906
00:37:30,123 --> 00:37:31,958
- He is near perfect.
907
00:37:31,958 --> 00:37:33,209
Got that one.
908
00:37:33,209 --> 00:37:34,377
There's a miss.
909
00:37:36,129 --> 00:37:37,964
Oh, and got the red one, too.
910
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:40,717
Three penalties.
911
00:37:40,717 --> 00:37:43,261
Next up, Flying Target.
912
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:46,556
Not really in any hurry.
- No.
913
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:49,225
- Is that gonna come back
to bite him?
914
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:51,895
- And that comes down
to situation awareness.
915
00:37:51,895 --> 00:37:53,730
Okay, one for one.
- Nice!
916
00:37:53,730 --> 00:37:55,607
He found his sweet spot,
and he cut just the amount
917
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:58,234
of meat to land on the grate.
- He definitely did.
918
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:02,447
And he is two for two.
- Oh, he is on it, Bill.
919
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:04,073
- He's 100% so far.
920
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:06,075
One more flying target.
Can he do it?
921
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:09,537
Yes, he can.
- Nice!
922
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:11,498
- Three for three
at Flying Target.
923
00:38:11,498 --> 00:38:13,333
- Perfect.
- Very systematic approach.
924
00:38:13,333 --> 00:38:15,084
Very calculating.
925
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:16,628
- Time is something
you don't have here.
926
00:38:16,628 --> 00:38:18,338
He needs to move.
927
00:38:18,338 --> 00:38:19,756
- He's through the first one.
928
00:38:20,924 --> 00:38:22,884
Second one, boom, down.
929
00:38:22,884 --> 00:38:24,636
That blade is not tracking
very far.
930
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:26,387
Not much movement.
931
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:28,264
- He's really accurate
with it.
932
00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:30,350
- Doing a hell of a job.
933
00:38:30,350 --> 00:38:32,101
He is four for four.
934
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:34,813
Five for five right now
as we speak.
935
00:38:34,813 --> 00:38:36,773
Okay, first miss.
936
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,152
- Okay, he got that one.
937
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:44,113
- I think he cut through
the top.
938
00:38:44,113 --> 00:38:45,615
- Got that.
939
00:38:47,784 --> 00:38:49,869
- Ah, got a penalty
on the last one.
940
00:38:49,869 --> 00:38:51,371
His aim was off.
941
00:38:51,371 --> 00:38:52,872
Two penalties.
942
00:38:52,872 --> 00:38:54,290
Next up, Fire and Ice.
943
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:55,875
How many strokes
is it gonna take
944
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:59,128
for him to get through this
400-pound block of ice?
945
00:38:59,128 --> 00:39:01,381
He is very concerned
about his stamina,
946
00:39:01,381 --> 00:39:03,550
and so am I.
947
00:39:05,635 --> 00:39:08,763
- Well, making up
some time here.
948
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,059
There he goes.
Just cut the block.
949
00:39:13,059 --> 00:39:14,394
Moving on from Fire and Ice.
950
00:39:14,394 --> 00:39:15,520
Next up, Crash Landing.
951
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,438
He is making this...
952
00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:19,440
this way closer
than it should be.
953
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,152
If he had some urgency,
he would run away with this.
954
00:39:23,152 --> 00:39:24,821
- Nice.
- Okay, great job.
955
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:28,658
Right there he didn't have
the accuracy.
956
00:39:28,658 --> 00:39:30,326
- He missed that one.
He needs to move.
957
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:35,540
See, his situation awareness
isn't there.
958
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:37,375
He missed one.
- He missed that.
959
00:39:39,085 --> 00:39:40,837
Got that one.
960
00:39:40,837 --> 00:39:43,006
There's two penalties.
961
00:39:43,006 --> 00:39:45,508
Okay, he's moving on
to the box.
962
00:39:45,508 --> 00:39:47,427
Remember, he's got to destroy
the box...
963
00:39:47,427 --> 00:39:49,804
- Wow, that's a lot of power.
- Dislodge the red ball.
964
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:51,389
Then he can move on.
965
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:52,849
It's a lot of power,
but we don't see
966
00:39:52,849 --> 00:39:54,726
much destruction going on.
- No.
967
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:56,185
He stayed on the ice blocks
way too long,
968
00:39:56,185 --> 00:39:57,896
and it dulled that blade.
969
00:39:57,896 --> 00:39:59,564
- Now he's losing
a little technique,
970
00:39:59,564 --> 00:40:01,482
but it might work
to his favor.
971
00:40:01,482 --> 00:40:03,192
And boom!
There goes the ball--
972
00:40:03,192 --> 00:40:04,819
exposed on the ground.
973
00:40:04,819 --> 00:40:07,280
Moving on--Firestorm.
974
00:40:09,157 --> 00:40:11,367
Cut one more rope,
ascend the stairs--
975
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,828
- He needs to move
with a purpose, Bill.
976
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:16,080
- I think it's
gonna be close.
977
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,416
- Wow.
- Why he's going so slow
978
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:20,126
I do not know.
979
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:22,003
Single strike right through.
980
00:40:22,003 --> 00:40:23,379
He is finished.
981
00:40:23,379 --> 00:40:27,008
Little Bobby
"Two-Hands" Cannon
982
00:40:27,008 --> 00:40:30,470
with a very respectable run
on Dead Run.
983
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:32,555
- I mean, he was accurate.
984
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:34,432
He didn't accumulate
a lot of penalties.
985
00:40:34,432 --> 00:40:37,560
My concern is his pace.
986
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,354
- Well, I don't know
how many penalties he got.
987
00:40:39,354 --> 00:40:41,147
There were very, very few,
988
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,774
but it's gonna come down
to time.
989
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:44,901
Bobby had...
990
00:40:46,736 --> 00:40:50,198
Seven penalties.
- Ooh, that's gonna hurt.
991
00:40:50,198 --> 00:40:53,076
- I have absolutely no idea
who's gonna win this one.
992
00:40:53,076 --> 00:40:54,869
It was tight.
993
00:40:54,869 --> 00:40:57,080
One penalty separates
both of them.
994
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,040
- It's still anybody's game
right now.
995
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,251
- Joel's time
with penalties was...
996
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,256
4:43.
997
00:41:08,508 --> 00:41:10,176
- Good job.
- Thank you.
998
00:41:10,176 --> 00:41:13,179
- That was a fast run.
- That's a good time.
999
00:41:13,179 --> 00:41:15,765
- Bobby's time
with penalties was...
1000
00:41:18,267 --> 00:41:20,561
5:48!
1001
00:41:20,561 --> 00:41:22,814
both:
Congratulations, Joel!
1002
00:41:22,814 --> 00:41:24,190
- Good job, man.
1003
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:27,402
Fantastic.
- Thank you, brother.
1004
00:41:27,402 --> 00:41:29,570
- I had to pace myself
at my age
1005
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:31,239
and at my cardiovascular
fitness level.
1006
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,325
I did the very best job
I could do,
1007
00:41:34,325 --> 00:41:36,744
but I wasn't quite fast enough
between the obstacles.
1008
00:41:36,744 --> 00:41:40,707
- You performed
more than admirably,
1009
00:41:40,707 --> 00:41:42,458
my friend.
1010
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:44,502
Okay, you got to regroup,
come back here,
1011
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,004
and kick some ass.
1012
00:41:46,004 --> 00:41:48,214
- I feel excellent.
1013
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:51,467
I just took each challenge
as it came, used my skills,
1014
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:54,178
and fell back to my knowledge
and just did the best I could.
1015
00:41:54,178 --> 00:41:56,014
Kept looking forward.
1016
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:57,849
I'm ready to come back
and give everything I've got
1017
00:41:57,849 --> 00:41:59,308
to this competition.
