BLADESMITHS! YOU HAVE 30 LITTLE MINUTES REMAINING!
*Isn't even 10% of the way done making the basic billet let alone forging it into a blade shape*
*(unless it's Ben Abbott in which case he's already made 3 complete choppers like this one)*
🤣 Yeah I watched 190 episodes of Forged in Fire, why do you ask? 🤣
Just making the basic billet for this must've taken days of work, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if they had to make more than one, even taking your sweet time doing it, every time you cut and re-stack the metal there's a chance of a delamination, and the cannister step at the beginning, very much so, and any delamination or inclusion in the metal would ruin the end product.
Very obvious at the end this is a master bladesmith who makes custom blades for a living.
