[@davidbeckett189]

If there's one thing I've learned from these competitions, it's to not run your mouth. Forging is a complex art that even masters can mess up, due to some uncontrollable variables. You really want to say something like that, knowing full well something can so easily go wrong?

[@Thatsme849]

this time it was hardly an uncontrollable factor though haha

[@colinrobertson7580]

Right? That handle is OK for the kitchen, but I wouldn't use a handle like that for anything I had to fight with if I had any other option.

[@DraconaiMac]

I was genuinely perplexed at Larry's final sword. Props for winning against all the others and getting to finals. I even liked his reworked "Plan B" creation but that handle..... I can't get over what might have inspired that handle. Wider at the top than the bottom? And yet it was so carefully crafted I cant convince myself it was an accident. As a work of skill, its wonderful. As a sword its baffling to me.

[@erlandochoa8278]

As soon as he said “either do it right or don’t do it at all” I thought it sounded like a pretty dumb expression, it just throws everything about learning from your failures and practice and everything out the window, “if you can’t do something the first time don’t do it at all” is basically a preposition that follows from that expression, glad he had to eat those words up lol

[@ProcrastinationHyperfocus]

The way I see it, it's more about not half-assing things, do them with all of your intent and heart in the task, or do something else. Learning and failing as part of that process is doing it right.

The stacked leather handle was a great idea IMO.
