  • James.

  • Paul.

  • Congratulations.

  • You guys have made it to the third and final round of this competition.

  • Now, when you came here, we threw a little twisted Damascus challenge at you.

  • Now we're sending you back to your home for just to recreate this icon equipment from history.

  • It's it.

  • Yeah, sure.

  • All right.

  • That weapon is the dark three.

  • Gun Che.

  • I've never seen anything like this.

  • I can't even pronounce the name of this thing.

  • Duke Street Goon trophy.

  • What did he say?

  • Good luck, gentlemen.

  • We'll see you in four days.

  • Look, they won.

  • I'm ready to get hammered.

  • I'm gonna be using 80 CR V two.

  • It's a very good steel for impact and EJ retention.

  • And I believe the test they're gonna be putting this blade through.

  • It's gonna need a little bit of both a big chunk of steel.

  • So it's gonna take a minute to get the tip force down to where I wanted the market started.

  • Drawing it out.

  • I think I'm struggling with the most is the weight of this entire plate.

  • I'm having trouble keeping this thing straight when I take it out today.

  • One pretty had wouldn't progress.

  • Got out, drawn out, ready for a bath and get started on this thing.

  • First thing in the morning.

  • It's day one here in my shop in Fairfield, Connecticut, and I'm gonna be making a darb shriek gun shy for this challenge.

  • I'm gonna be making ladder pattern Damascus because it's really gonna set me apart from the competition.

  • This is 15 and 20.

  • That's 10 84.

  • I got to make sure there's no grease or oil on them because that could affect the Ford will not forget the steel cleaned up.

  • I staff all the pieces up together and do my initial.

  • Well, I'm feeling really good that Wells stock.

  • That's one of the most difficult part of the entire process.

  • Next step is to grind in notches along the entire thing on both sides.

  • What that's gonna do is expose the layers of the Damascus It's the end of day one, and I'm in pretty good shape for the rest of the challenge.

  • Pretty nervous today.

  • We're going to this heat treat this morning.

  • I'm only halfway through with time, so hopefully if something does happen, I've got time to make another one.

  • Look at that four leaf clover right at my feet.

  • The hope is a good sign.

  • Filling finger pops happy.

  • It's the last day, and it's about time to start etching the blade.

  • This is the most magical moment of making Damascus because you get to finally see what the pattern is gonna look like.

  • Still getting streaks so I don't get it.

  • It's just not at all what I wanted to see.

  • There's a bunch of D card all over the entire blade, which means I didn't grind deep enough, and the hatch is not gonna come out right, so I could either leave the D carb and Damascus won't be is good looking.

  • Or I could grind into the blade a little bit in risk making the blade two cents.

  • I knew in order to save the pattern, I really had to just go back to the grinder.

  • I think it's pretty good.

  • This is the Damascus I wanted to see.

  • I'm still kind of concerned that the blade is a little on the inner side, but there's nothing I could do now your life in the end of the tunnel.

  • So far, I've got the blade done, so I'm gonna start working on the hand.

  • I don't have long enough Drill bits.

  • Drill all the way into that handle.

  • So I'm gonna have to carve out a channel for that Tang to sit in and make sure the wood Mary's back together nicely.

  • Yeah, baby, I made it a little bone by for from land around my house.

  • I think that's gonna add a little special touch.

  • It is a little on the heavy side, balanced perfectly.

  • It's very will say yes.

  • All I can tell you is grabbed by the red right place bits.

  • Welcome the kill test.

  • Your dark street gun shy eyes look intimidating, but are they deadly?

  • To find that out, I will take your weapon.

  • There were some killing blows in this ballistic stuff.

  • Team's first.

  • You ready for this?

  • Doesn't I could do to stop it?

  • All right, let's do it.

  • To say I'm nervous right now is an understatement.

  • At this point, it's out of my hands.

  • I just hope it can hold up.

  • All right, James, First up, that's a beast.

  • It's very forward heavy, so it definitely feels like a chopper all the way through.

  • Now you're handle here by adding this for around it.

  • I can't get a good grip on it because it's so soft.

  • Now, your edge sharp.

  • Well, we're all, sir.

  • You'll kill.

  • Thank you.

  • Right.

  • Paul, your turns for you.

  • Ready?

  • I'm ready.

  • Let's do this.

  • I built my blade to be very light.

  • It definitely makes me nervous seeing the ballistics done, because I know there's a lot of hard bones in there.

  • I'm definitely a little bit worried that could bend, even break in half.

  • You never know what's gonna happen.

  • All right, Paul.

  • First stuff.

  • I really appreciate the Damascus pattern that you brought out here.

  • Now, the fact that I can hold the weapon out extended like this shows just how light this weapon is for its size.

  • And because of that, I can cut deeply into this without using the weight.

  • Just velocity alone.

  • But after that striking skull picked up a little bit of a bend over all, sir, it will kill.

  • Thank you.

  • All right, gentlemen, to test the strength and overall construction of your blades will be chopping into these pots.

  • Now, remember, this is not about what your blades do.

  • Two targets, but with targets come due to your blades.

  • James, your first.

  • You ready?

  • What happened?

  • Okay, you This is a shoulder ripping monster.

  • Once you start this thing moving, stopping it is really rough on the shoulders for around the middle here.

  • And then your edge is still sharp, you know?

  • Good job.

  • Thank you.

  • All right, Paul, you're up.

  • You're ready.
