Forged In Fire

Post by Five Dollar Bill »

I didn't know exactly where this would fit in, so, I'm putting it here. I'm wondering how you guys feel about the TV show, "Forged In Fire". We all know how real Reality TV is, and I wonder how close to real is this show. Can these guys really be making knives in 3 hours? I want to hear from the professionals. Thanks.

Don't believe everything you see on TV. It's fun to watch but so is Superman.

As I said, "we all know how real Reality TV is". Every show has writers. If it's filming reality as it happens, what do the writers write?
Thanks for your reply.

I don't watch much tv, so cant say I have seen it. I need to check it out...I will say it is probably possible to build a basic fixed blade knife in 3 hours depending on how fancy it is and if you are starting off with and basic blade heat treat...but you would be jammin and cutting corners on a total scratch built blade.

I would think so. Thanks. For those of us who don't really know the deal, it is a fun, and even exciting, show.

The only true reality TV is for example a live sporting event football, baseball, etc. and any other live event on TV, but other than that everything else is fake.
