Anyone else think that host of the show is a dbag? Hell he also has a man bun.
Summer 2016 I sat down with a Master Bladesmith and he was discussing why he was not a judge on that show. I also learned a few things as to why some of the Bladesmiths think it's a joke and will not appear on it as well. Guy does phenomenal work and I hope one day I can have a piece of his functional art in my kitchen, or pocket.I suppose the host is just doing his job. He does come across as a bit of a douchnozzel
I have had a good number of friends compete on the show, one episode featuring a Washington knife maker showed one of my machines I build for knife makers (A forging press)
My good friend Arnon from Portland was on the first season.
Been at least 6-8 other folks who i am friends with and a dozen more who I recognize but don't really know.
I actually belong to a Facebook group called "Blacksmith who will never be on Forged in Fire"
I have talked to a few folks about what it was like. Sounds like the whole thing is kind of a cluster. Poor communication and mediocre equipment
I still watch from time to time.
One thing is the judges are real pillars in their field. Jason Knight is one of the most respected names in the custom knife world and of course Doug is the real deal.
Makes for good TV, or better than average TV anyway
I think the most interesting part of the show is seeing other people's shops.
