You guys have made it into the third round

Now we're sending you back to your home forges

to recreate this iconic weapon from American history--

Today, I'm going to build the actual blade part of the saber.

I'm making a ladder pattern Damascus billet.

So ladder pattern Damascus, it's a simple pattern.

I'm going to weld it, put some layers into it,

and then cut it with the chop saw, and then draw it out.

This is a large blade, and there can be a lot of things that go

So I'm not comfortable putting all my eggs just

CHRIS: Today I hope to get the blade quenched,

I've picked up a little bit of a curve in this thing.

I do notice that it's not an exact even heat-up in the fire.

There's more heat towards either end than in the middle.

I don't want to waste too much more time chasing it out.

There's always a chance that a lot of it'll

come back out once I dip it in the quench.

I believe my blade has gotten hot enough.

While my blade was heating up, it wasn't an exact even heat-up

So I do still have a fairly significant S-curve warp to it.

So I quickly throw it between a couple of big chunks of wood

I've got a very, very slight warble right towards the end,

but I'm positive I can take it out with the grinder.

I think I'm getting very slightly soft close

to the hilt. Rather than go through the quench process

again, I think I'm just going to go with it,

keep my fingers crossed, and pray to the gods.

JOHN: This morning, I'll figure out which blade is going

I really want the Damascus to be my sword.

So I start grinding on it, and right away I start

In this edge here, they're wanting to fall apart.

I'm going to scrap the Damascus, save it for the back strap,

and move on to the 5160, and make that my blade.

I'm not going to take a risk with $10,000 on the line.

I go to the forge, get it hot, and I go in the quench chamber.

I think I've got myself set up really well for a final day

Once I have my wood-block shape for my handle,

But it looks cool, and I'm going to beat,

I get it glued up to the rest of the sword.

Now, once my epoxy sets, it's going to be time

This blade is sharp as a razor, and it's ready for testing.

together, put the final edge on the sword, and test it.

This is my version of the cowboy's cavalry sword.

And then I'm going to put some enamel over the top

just to preserve it, and then line the inside of the guard
