[@taterbeard]

before I started watching this show I never would have thought id be able to tell if a quench was gonna go bad by how hot the blade looked

[@derekbaker4763]

I say that all the time when they quench and its not bright enough.

[@MatrixWarrior98]

@@derekbaker4763 I'm pretty sure you still can't tell my friend. Glowing steel can appear very differently on video according to the ambient lighting. Even if it looks greyish, it can be red hot

[@Lilith-Rose]

@@MatrixWarrior98 agreed. You can get some idea but it's nothing compared with seeing it in person. Cameras show things differently depending on the ambient light, speed settings and post production editing and filters (which are definitely being used a whole lot on this show to make things look "cooler"). No amount of book learning or watching videos will give you a fraction of the skills that even just a few hours of practical experience gets you

This show really shows people how extremely complex metal working and forging can be. The most beautiful and sharpest sword in the world is useless if it snaps in half during its first fight. That's why I love this show 🔥⚔️

[@battlefieldelite1]

I love this show too, some people think they know everything they need to know to forge a blade from watching this show and end up burning stuff down though. This show focuses more on the flashy parts like a fiery quench and breezes over the less exciting parts like tempering and all that. Don't blame them that's what makes for good TV

[@thomasreaves588]

This show proves that there are too many cable TV channels who have too much air-time to fill.

[@Lockpickingblacksmith]

@@thomasreaves588 Then why are you watching it?

[@Lockpickingblacksmith]

@@battlefieldelite1 Yes, I can't stand it every time they pull the blade out and it's on fire. If it's on fire it's not done quenching, simple as.

Pablo’s second quench looked better than his first, but he really needed to temper it before doing anything else with the blade. We live and we learn from mistakes. I’m sure he took this lesson to heart.

[@jbsgroup96]

Probably the most heartbreaking clip I've seen. Watching his blade break halfway through the build, then watching his second break in two places during the kill test... I felt the pain on that one.

[@Alex462047]

I think Pablo's quenching oil was either old or incorrect.

[@Alex462047]

@Dea Milano I've seen guys on FiF heat their blades for the quench that way before with great success. His looked all right that way.

[@c.a.mcdivitt9722]

Looked to me like h wasn't moving the blade in the tank while quenching. Seems like a stupid thing, but that can cause the oil to have more contact in one area, stressing the blade. Plus, he didn't have time to heat cycle it, which didn't help.

[@Alex462047]

@@c.a.mcdivitt9722 Well, his first blade broke in the exact same way and his procedure appears correct. That's what gets me thinking maybe his oil is off. Dunno, you might be right.

[@CyberianFaux]

@@Alex462047 Good point. The fact of the matter it happened twice means something is up even if it isn't the oil.

coarse grain structure typically means he didn't get the metal hot enough before quenching. that or it cooled down too slowly.

Clearly that guy needs to work on how he quenches. Two blades breaking like that isn't norma

[@austinganzenmuller4695]

I would not say the quench is the bad part but he definitely needs to work on it

[@spamhere1123]

He also clamped it and started grinding and working on it with water before tempering it. Clamping a blade fresh out of the quench is something you do only if you really, really have to get some warps out of it, and it's done with utmost caution. The blade is very brittle before the temper, and grinding it and soaking it in water is not helping.

[@pabmar797]

@@spamhere1123 when you have someone telling you how much time is left you tend to make really stupid mistakes, panic mode set in. Fyi it is not a full 4 days as they make it out to be. My biggest mistake is panicking, skipping crucial heat processes, more so NOT thermal cycling killed me. I made stupid mistakes but you live and you learn. Sadly those mistakes came at a very crucial time haha
