I really tried to get into it, but just couldn't. I'll still watch it if someone from the forum is on there, but that's about it. I don't really care for the mad rush at the beginning of the show to get a piece created is 7.2 seconds, or the drama... I'd rather just watch the bladesmiths work. I really like the part where they get to to go home and really spend some time building something functional and beautiful... But then dislike the part where they test the blades, lol.

One thing I’ve always thought unfair, is when they go to there home forge A lot of times there shops are completely incomparable, like one guys has a power, hammer press, HT oven, and just more tools that will allow him to make a better product faster, whereas the other guy‘s got A grinder and drill press and has to do everything else by hand.
Now that doesn’t happen all the time and to that extent but still I think it can be very unfair at times.
