In a lot of these cases, they're looking for 'colorful' characters to generate viewer interest, especially in the earlier seasons (until they can determine how wide the viewership/interest is).

I don't know if you've watched Sasuke/Ninja Warrior, both the original Japanese version and the spinoff American Ninja Warrior (a show that required even more athleticism).

Especially with the earlier seasons, they obviously weren't basing their selections solely on athletic ability. They always included contestants who were obviously not very athletic and had pretty much zero chance of completing the course, but were just off-the-wall quirky, or had some interesting backstory.

Especially with ANW, as the show proved its broad appeal with viewership and the producers determined that the viewers appreciated the physicality required of the contestants, they began narrowing the selection to athletes who actually had some kind of shot at doing well on the course.

Aside from us knife nuts, I'm not sure how broad the interest in KoD is. Even amongst fans of FiF, there's a decent percentage who don't particularly care for KoD (not saying they dislike it. It simply doesn't catch their interest).

There was show of folks dressed in medieval armor bashing each other. IIRC, I watched about 15 minutes and changed channels. I don't even remember the title. Knight something? Ho-hum.
Chopped, on the food network is more exciting. :D

Still pondering whether to black out the background or leave the "gold" heat treat oxide...

If up to me, I would just leave the goldish effect (as by product of HT) in the signature and the D3V insignia. To me, the rest is too much gold but it also would depend on your choice of handle scales. Your signature green preference, I presume?

This one isn't staying with me (sale format TBD still), and black goes with everything so it's more than likely going to be that way. Technically the oxide could change over time too, so enamel is going to be more stable if washed now that I think of it.

That being said I think the gold would look sweet with the OD green on personal stuff;)
