You made it to the final round this competition, which means that you're both one step closer to the title of force and Fire champion and a check for $10,000.

Now we're sending you back to your home for just to recreate an iconic weapon from history.

That weapon is a pair of Viking War axes.

Back out where there's no people like not a big people person.

I've made some tomahawks in the past and some axes in the past.

I used a lot of low later Damascus, So I'm gonna view 1 17 layer billet.

Hopefully out of that, I can get what I need for both accidents.

I'm just going to cut a little two inch piece of inch and 1/2 round stock.

Jeremiah has been blades nothing for a few decades, and I've been doing it for a couple of years, so I'm kind of the under dollars, so to speak.

But I love the challenges that come with that.

I'll feel good when it's done, and it's right, probably another three days where l feel good.

I'm excited to get working on these Viking axes I'm taking.

The advantage of having to forge is so that hopefully I get it done twice as fast If I learned anything from the 1st 2 challenges is that I need to stand on the shoulders of Giants.

I'm gonna stand on the shoulders of history and I'm doing as close to traditional as I can.

I'm going to do now is put this one into the gas board, switch the other one out and get them both to the same spot.

My biggest concern is that I get them identical being a blacksmith.

People want things that look exactly the same all the time.

So not to say that it's easy, but it's a challenge that I'm prepared for their identical.

I'm pretty happy with what I got done yesterday, pretty much have all the forging done.

I can go onto the heat, treat my biggest concern, just a nice even heat all the way around the heat treat is everything.

If it's not he treated, then it's just a pretty looking wall hanger.

Two for two So far, it feels good to have the he treats successful.

I don't know if you tell her, not those pretty nervous here.

Forge welding high carbon bit into the body of the act, making a durable edge, which is historical.

So nervous I'm shaking whenever you do affords.

Well, there's always the chance that something could go wrong.

They got way too thin right up back here.

The seams are showing the world they're not gonna hold.

This is the worst thing that I could have imagined.

There's no room for these emotions right now.

Today's all about getting the handles fit up.

It just slides on and the tap and locks it in place.

Fits, not write any good shock to it could drop it down.

One of my axes doesn't match the other one bottoms whiter than the top, and it needs to be taped with the other way.

So the only choice I have is to do it from the top down and put a wedge in.

I guarantee that Jeremiah is gonna do a pressure fit because that's the way it's supposed to be.

So I didn't want to be the guy that took the easy way out, just put a wedge in and called it good.

The most annoying thing is that it's historically not correct.

Hopefully, that's not what bites me in the ass.

As you know, I'm still nursing an injury to be my arm.

Today, I'm bringing a special guest from Market.

Please welcome Staff Sergeant Chris Mons.

Today he will be my arm or arms to test your weapons.

But your Viking War access on the initial cut, the long beard that you have right here hooked all the ribs.

And of course, the beauty of having a secondary weapon is that when he pulled it out, he had enough attacks to disembowel it.

Everything Overall, sir, Your Viking War axe.

It not only blew through the ribs, but Doug in breaking through the lungs and into the heart.

It is fast and light, and it will kill to test the strength and overall construction of your war access.

I'll be throwing them three times with each axe into our mock up of a drawbridge.

Now, hopefully they'll stay tight and right, not loosen up.

First off their balance nicely and they match, which is really what I was looking for.

That stout edge, though, kind of keeps him from penetrating overly deep.

You can see right about here is just a small role in two spots.
