Will it ‘keel’ tho?

[@abenezerpacheco8882]

Asking the real question

[@Nepalimetalhead]

With a smirk

[@lucassanders7851]

That is actually what I was Ganna write those exact words

[@saintlaurentdon1460]

[@uncledeath6785]

Yes

[@ladylucius7577]

Jessica is actually my cousin! So proud of her!

[@prasaite]

In Alabam everyone are cousins:D

[@rogersmith8480]

Can you ask Jessica for me if they are making to sell that TRENCH knife? I am very interested in buying. Please contact me to let me know.

[@m.y.515]

4:38 - 4:51. The difference between greatness and being average

[@Adventure_fuel]

Amen

[@The_Devil_Himself]

Great people are never satisfied with "average".

[@ImBadWithNamesSadly]

Lol

[@ABEL-cd2sp]

Am I the only one that kinda noticed the audio change regarding the cracks? Like it was post recording studio quality audio rather than recording quality audio?

[@Nick-go9yd]

2:03 so weird...

[@justincase4382]

Same it’s cause it’s all fake they added it back

[@andrxw4523]

He just forgot to make that comment and thought it was necessary so they added it in

[@blzurd4792]

I wanted to see if someone else caught that. They should’ve just left that audio out

[@adam346]

if you were wearing headphones, you probly noticed it as it was clear dubbing in.

[@NORFIE123456]

I liked the looks and design of the third teams. It looks like an old fashioned trench knife, and almost as if they got consults from WW2 vets. They designed it as a brass knuckle AND a knife which makes the most sense, whereas the other teams focused too much on the blade.

[@Supertrooper432]

love how at 2:06 they added in the audio to make up for not mentioning it.

[@bigboypockets2041]

Cameron Scott yo nice spot

[@ZacNotZachary]

Thought I was the only one who noticed it

[@gjbnnbbbvnbh5669]

What happened I don’t understand lol

[@hatimabdelmounim6587]

in 3:45 ALSO lol

[@BheemNationalist]

I was here for the keeel test.

[@milksteak9213]

Overall

[@syx3s]

i like how they dubbed in the comments about the cracks from the judges for the third knife each time. clearly forgot to mention that during recording. lol

[@zephyr5802]

Lol never noticed they were dubbed in...

[@Nick-go9yd]

2:03 God it was so jarring

[@HappyHog11]

It’s also possible the sound quality of the original recording sucked or they stuttered so they just had the judges re-record it in post.

[@b_f_d_d]

That 3rd trench knife was very well designed.

[@BRKNHRT237]

Anybody else notice the same monotone overlay they use when he says fuel cans

[@Olafaloofian]

0:03 - listen for the same "fuel can" audio snippet three times

[@Nick-go9yd]

They dubbed so much in this ep it’s weird

[@SpawnCycle]

Love this show sooooo much

[@Aditya_yd27]

Me too

[@williamhiggins6878]

Same

[@actaea.]

Same

[@Osprey1994]

It's alright sometimes it's clearly flawed.

[@PonyBoy1776]

Since the trench knife was legalized in texas recently, I went to a gun show and got my first trench knife! (1918 replica).

[@patrickcorreal-winters701]

Mark be like "Indeed"

[@nicktalbot7324]

Why did they repeat the same “fuel can” word every time he said it 😂😂

[@everydaycountryliving7095]

Yea, it sounds funny

[@fuckthepolice71]

Think he might have said Jerry can instead maybe copyright reasons

[@culdwun9002]

the editor is trash, he’s always splicing audio clips horribly in these videos.

[@dylanlastname1461]

I liked the second guys knife it was nicely made and very smooth!!!

[@tooka999]

They’re pretty big for actual trench knives. The original ones were a bit smaller and more maneuverable

[@duud6643]

More like daggers insetad of big ol' bowies.

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

I wish they would link the other segments of this episode. I want to see what else they did!

[@alwaysdriveing]

Same complaint I have had with most every trench knife I ever handled.

[@Jeeksn]

That dude always says indeed

[@CitroChannel]

David is always complaining about hurting his hand. While the ergonomics of the grip and comfort are important, he does it so much more than everyone else that he comes off as a pampered baby sometimes.

[@slothszn3682]

Just looking at the comments I can tell that everyone caught the obvious additions about the cracks in the third pairs knife, but did anyone else feel that the sound effects of the fire hose slice really bad?

[@ketanraghu8692]

When they say it's all about what your blade does to the rope but then go ahead and judge your blade.

[@RoGuExPaNcAkE]

Was I the only one that cringed at the fuel cans? Made me sad

[@kabotohaye8666]

Me as well..... Wastage.... Fools

[@Hunter-os5yx]

Rogue Video Productions ya I mean I get they are testing strength but like who are using the knives on full plate knights? I mean you are just gonna hurt the knives

[@zagorith14]

@@Hunter-os5yx They aren't making the knives to actually be used against people. They make them to test their skills as blacksmiths. So, no one is going to use the knives on full plate knights or anyone else for that matter. It's just testing the knives to see who is the better blacksmith. That's it.

[@dylancraig3945]

Those look like Wavian fuel cans. Those are $80 cans😭

[@juggernaut316]

Yes. Shame to waste all that fuel.

[@yaboinate_2097]

I miss when history channel actually had documentaries on history😞

[@wickedthemadhatter9713]

A damaged blade isnt as bad as a blade too painful to wield.

[@finnf4]

but then i took an arrow to the knee

[@quantumfoxgaming2722]

wish they had tested the knuckle duster part of it

[@tashriquekarriem8865]

They should let Wil do some of the strength tests

[@That_Southern_Gentleman]

I was here before Ben was a judge. He was a contestant in one episode

[@wandamiancrucifixplate3760]

*winner *2 episodes

[@1014p]

Yup he must have impressed, I recall it was a nice piece.

[@durgadurgin1612]

I thought he looked familiar

[@firefighterstation3]

[@markmanuel3187]

Is no one gonna mention the awkward fist bump???

[@CaptLangley]

It was so awkward XD

Tough luck gals

[@froimig]

0:31 editing lacks continuity

[@slicerfortysix949]

I have a request... Plss review the Filipino made ginunting..

[@-tinayoufatlard-5814]

These judges probably sit in their basement an slice up carcasses for fun

Do a London roadman Edition only rambos and flickys see how they stand up

[@RollingxBigshot]

Lol k-ci and jojo are on a team

[@tayro480]

Great show

[@EvLSpectre]

See, Joe and Casey know the point of those destruction tests. What is the point of making these large hard use blades if you do not stress test them to their limits. Without doing that how do you know their limits?

[@timnixon644]

Ben is my favorite judge

[@ABlackGuy10]

I got knuckles that have the same problem on my little finger

[@vincentmalpica]

I would very much not want to surrender my blade

[@kymo1234]

A WW1 trenchknife stabbing in to jerrycans invented in 1936 Hmm

[@thewaffle187]

Women's do blacksmith??? Yo that women is madlad

[@michaelobrien8944]

When you listen for it the same sound being used for the fuel can is so obvious

[@sizedsaturn7277]

Love this show

[@Shintenzu]

Say "Fuel Can" fast 10 times. Now you know why they had to edit it.

[@Yf.Crayze]

Is it me or when he says fuel cans it sounds edited 😂

[@e.l.iduhgr8499]

By the way im a huge fan of the boondocks

[@mileta604]

Skip to 0:34 Put it on 0.25 and let the cringe do the rest

He won two shows, including a champions show

[@ritrovolt8215]

This is the only sane show on the history channel now

[@boss-anova]

I always thought a trench knife was a triangular poker to stab through trench coats..... like the M1917 trench knife, or the french nail.....

[@Badger32284]

Trench knives can have any blade shape, it's the knuckle guard thats the big thing. And sometimes the pommel spike. But the triangular shaped blades were to cause wounds that open more and are harder to close.

[@boss-anova]

@@Badger32284 ok, so the knuckle guard is the key. It is a stabbing weapon though, so an actual blade is not required?

[@Badger32284]

@@boss-anova I guess. I mean its a knife and usually they're meant to cut but obviously a trench knife is also meant to stab, so in the end I guess its up to the maker and user. If somebody makes a knife and calls it a trench knife but it doesnt cut, its just a stabby thing with like a knuckle guard who's to tell them they're wrong? It's their knife and it functions how they want it to thats all that matters.

[@boss-anova]

@@Badger32284 thats a great philosophy to have, my man.

[@boss-anova]

@@Badger32284 im still learning about knife making and how or if names are critical when it comes to certian aspects of knife making.

I trench knife is supposed to hurt the assailant, not the user, that's an epic fail right there sister.

[@wbw1399]

That's not a trench knife. A trench knife has three sides. A triangle.

[@shafiraariana335]

why there are two ppl in one team? '-'

[@phurawit5582]
