It was because the other guy's handle structure was more impractical in wielding than the extra weight was

[@kuxo1]

Yahh it is

[@Giuseppe_Paolillo]

Not exactly. Usually the weight is an extremis cause of loss when blades are equal. In this case, the handle of the losing one wasn't very well fit

[@JHnat]

They also said in the intro to the finals, this heavy blade. I got nervous when they said heavy side. But when Mr. Doug said hand fit great and the blade was quite balanced, it gave me hope. Plus, the guard going up, seemed to block part of the blade and less function, while the other guard did its job and wasn't to the point of impeding the main function

[@TraumaCenter13]

It is kinda ironic because Neil came back to champion's episode and lost because his Tai Chi sword was too heavy.

@Mirai*Santos though it was heavier, his handle didn't allow the sword to slide and turn in one's hand. Imagine using it in actual combat and the sword just keeps slipping in your hand, it won't be good, that's why the heavier sword won.

[@soulseagull7588]

The handle on the other one was complained about alot

[@Finnssssss]

Exactly, both blades were done well but the hilt, handle and pommel/counter balance were clearly superior. That's the difference between having a blade and having a sword. The only reason lighter blades usually win is because they're easier to balance and don't require the grip to be overly refined for control. A properly balanced heavy blade with a comfortable grip has no issues in feel or control and can add more cutting power and even functionality depending on the purpose/intent of the weapon. The best weapon smith's know the blade is only half of the weapon.

I don't think either of them lost this. They both performed amazingly and commendations to both contestants!

[@ChitrakChattopadhyay]

Yes, I was thinking about how a noble although might be versed in sword play would not have the athleticism to wield a blade that was heavy, but would be able to kill or lethally harm anyone at close range so speed was the limiting factor. Historically noblemen have had access to better blacksmiths and steel which leads me to believe the blade would have been light weight. Comming to my point is I believe a sharper lighter blade with less toughness, or better yet less strength be that metal fatigue or creep weakness. They not should have made lighter and thinner blades but apart from that they both deserved to win as there are merits in both blades. I would choose the handle of the winner with the blade if the looser.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

Fun Facts: 1. The Cinquedea starred in a different episode, during which a contestant lost because the blade was too heavy for not placing enough fullers. 2. Neil has had problems with his blade being too heavy in a different episode. 3. A heavier blade may lose on its weight alone but it often loses due other associated issues like bad weight distribution or a duller edge. 4. A heavier blade has won before when the opponent's blade broke. 5. A heavier blade has won before when the handle was also too uncomfortable.

[@lucagordon5770]

In this case I believe it lost due to difficulty with edge orientation and the shape of the grip overall.

They also included it in an episode of Beat the Judges.

"There can only be one winner" Bit disappointed they weren't made to fight to the death at that stage.

[@lostrmntic]

One of the rare occasions where the heavier weapon won when they both passed all the tests. The other guy's handle much have been bad enough that they considered the heavy one easier to control.

[@mefaulenzer4387]

he won because even tho his sword is heavy, you still can wield it properly. The other sword may be lighter, but what does it get to you if you can't wield it because of the crappy handle

[@cooper5324]

He also won because it was sharper. You can see that the straps didn’t fray at all

[@petert3355]

Usually the "Heavy" word is the word of death in this comp. I don't think I've ever seen a blade win where that word is used.

[@Fennetic]

@Craig if their hands are small then are you indirectly telling me that I have baby hands...

[@wilhelmkirk2251]

Peter T especially the signature of this sword is the fullers and the purpose of them are lighten the sword. Otherwise it is just a wide-blade sword

[@spamhere1123]

@@petert3355 Yep, though an equally important word is "balanced". Even a blade with a higher total weight can be easier to use if the weight is balanced better. The two words that are usually a death knell when put together are "forward heavy". There have been swords that have been disqualified on that alone, as in Doug picks up the sword and just says "nope, not even swinging that".

This is really interesting. Here you have two very good blades in their own merits-the kinda of thing that would, for a customer, come down to personal preference. A lighter blade that is easier to swing around, or a heavier blade that can deliver more power? Well done.
