So one thing about that moment at 15:22, because it's very rare that a judge will further comment on a weapon after a winner is called. That guy looked pretty upset that he won that way, but Doug makes that comment about his reinforced handle to tell him that he truly did win the competition fair and square, since paying attention to that handle construction was an integral part of the whole contest. This shows you that the judges are actually really great guys.

[@doggo_87__60]

I saw one of the episodes where this guy lost in the final just because he didn't pay attention to make a curve on his blade as the judges asked. Disqualified, not even tested.. can't imagine how bad that feel

[@luthfiagustian783]

Well, requirement is requirement.they must be as close as perfection. Anyway the judges did say "for the safety reason". The wood is the one that connect the blade to the hands, make it usable. if it broke, the blade will fall, then how the wielder would use the blade? Thatll be a total mess.

[@xAssassin24]

The handle is as important as the blade itself, n that could be said for any weapon

[@jiyoo6109]

You cant use the weapon without the handle.. what makes it a weapon is the blade+handle and not only the blade itself.

[@ramasaputra6205]

Well, im sorry but a blade is useless without its handle, the wood also acts as a guard, but it if fail and crack, it could pose lethal threat to its user
