Episode 3 and 4 were on Blaze recently and it’s turning out to be pretty good. If you haven’t heard of it it’s a competition between blacksmiths to make the best blade over a couple of rounds whittling them down to two competitors. Those two competitors then return to their own forge to make a sword of a particular style and then return to the studio for a final test and judging.

Is Owen Bush still part of the program?

I didn’t realise he was part of it TBH. Odd as his site is one of my bookmarks as I intend to treat myself to one of his courses some day.Originally Posted by Saint-Just
He was at the beginning I think. Amazing craftsman.

I watched about 5 episodes in a row of this on a business trip in the US once (blame the jet lag) and really enjoyed it. Some proper craftsmanship, at least seems that way, and some hilarity during the testing. Not sure about the slightly creepy judge who tests the weapons though - ‘it cuts...’

Just spotted something else called Big Giant Swords which looks like fun. Setup on the DVR to record tonight.
