1
00:00:13,764 --> 00:00:15,933
- Throughout history,
2
00:00:15,933 --> 00:00:18,310
the blade and one's ability
to wield it
3
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:22,064
has been the difference
between life and death.
4
00:00:22,064 --> 00:00:26,068
Tonight, America's top
bladesmiths, martial artists,
5
00:00:26,068 --> 00:00:27,778
and knife experts
bring their weapons
6
00:00:27,778 --> 00:00:29,529
to the toughest challenge...
7
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,781
- Come on, let's do this!
- They'll ever face.
8
00:00:33,617 --> 00:00:35,410
- It's a grueling gauntlet
9
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:37,204
designed to put their
blade wielding skills...
10
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:38,956
Whoa!
To the ultimate test.
11
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:40,916
He broke the knife in half!
12
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:42,960
The top two competitors
move on to Dead Run,
13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,586
the final showdown,
14
00:00:44,586 --> 00:00:47,464
for a chance at
a $20,000 grand prize.
15
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:49,424
Total carnage!
16
00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:51,426
Who can do the most damage
in the fastest time?
17
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:54,137
Whose blade, and dreams,
will shatter?
18
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:57,766
And who will earn the title
of Knife or Death champion?
19
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:22,791
- I've probably made
500 knives,
20
00:01:22,791 --> 00:01:25,252
but the unknown of what
21
00:01:25,252 --> 00:01:27,087
we're gonna cut
in this competition,
22
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,423
it's pretty intimidating.
23
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:31,592
- I've been a blade sports
competitor for a while.
24
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:33,927
I've done some crazy stuff
in my life.
25
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,679
Nothing like this.
26
00:01:37,306 --> 00:01:40,475
- Blade wielders,
I'm Bill Goldberg.
27
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:43,395
This is the most difficult,
intense,
28
00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:46,898
and utterly bad ass
knife competition ever created.
29
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:52,029
Welcome to "Forged In Fire:
Knife or Death."
30
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:54,114
Many of you have forged
your own blades,
31
00:01:54,114 --> 00:01:57,451
others had them made
to their own specifications.
32
00:01:57,451 --> 00:01:59,786
We've got katanas,
competition choppers,
33
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:02,122
and traditional bowie knives,
among others.
34
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:04,082
You and your blade
will be tested
35
00:02:04,082 --> 00:02:06,126
in a series of timed challenges
36
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,627
that focus on precision,
37
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:09,796
technique, strength,
38
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:12,299
blade sharpness,
and durability.
39
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:15,052
It is my honor to introduce
to you
40
00:02:15,052 --> 00:02:17,429
Special Forces Green Beret
Tu Lam,
41
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:21,350
a martial arts master,
and weapons expert.
42
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:23,018
- If your techniques
are on point,
43
00:02:23,018 --> 00:02:24,811
if you choose the right angles,
44
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:26,396
have efficient movement,
45
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,023
you can win this competition.
46
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:29,274
- Ladies and gentlemen,
47
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:32,527
the first course
is Knife Fight.
48
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:37,032
The Knife Fight course is a
true test of speed and power.
49
00:02:37,032 --> 00:02:40,243
The first obstacle
you'll face: Trail Blazer.
50
00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:42,579
You must cut through
six wooden dowels,
51
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:44,373
each releasing a lit torch.
52
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:47,125
When the torches fall,
igniting the steel pits,
53
00:02:47,125 --> 00:02:50,128
it's time to move on
to the next obstacle,
54
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:53,298
Stick and Move.
You must stab, slice,
55
00:02:53,298 --> 00:02:55,133
and cut through
three separate containers
56
00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:56,968
to release enough contents
57
00:02:56,968 --> 00:02:58,428
so that the attached
counterweights
58
00:02:58,428 --> 00:03:00,305
reach the ground
59
00:03:00,305 --> 00:03:02,557
before the containers
rise to high to hit,
60
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:03,850
and before
you cross that line,
61
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,185
or you will be penalized.
62
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,937
Next up is Ice Pick.
63
00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:09,731
You must chop into
a 3-foot block of ice,
64
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:11,108
puncture the plastic pipe,
65
00:03:11,108 --> 00:03:13,235
and release the red liquid.
66
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:17,030
Then you move on to Lifeline,
a sudden-death obstacle.
67
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:19,825
You must fully slice
through three hanging objects
68
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:21,702
with one swing each.
69
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:23,286
Fail to slice through
the thickest part,
70
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,080
your run time ends,
71
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,623
and you're not allowed
to go on
72
00:03:26,623 --> 00:03:27,624
any further in the course.
73
00:03:27,624 --> 00:03:29,167
If you make it this far,
74
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,670
your last obstacle
is Curtain Call,
75
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:34,464
where you must cut completely
through the wall of meat,
76
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,258
and did the sheet of metal.
77
00:03:36,258 --> 00:03:37,843
Your time ends
when you plunge your blade
78
00:03:37,843 --> 00:03:40,137
through the tree stump.
79
00:03:40,137 --> 00:03:41,888
- That course is frightening.
80
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:44,349
There's ice blocks,
and there's wood boxes.
81
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:46,017
I'm gonna put
some good strikes on it,
82
00:03:46,017 --> 00:03:48,228
but I sure hope
my blade doesn't break.
83
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,272
- Fish, chicken, holy hell!
84
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:52,357
This is a competitor's dream.
85
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:55,485
Every cut I like to do
is here.
86
00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:57,446
- All obstacles
you leave unfinished
87
00:03:57,446 --> 00:04:00,073
will incur
a 25-second penalty.
88
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:03,493
After every competitor finishes
and penalties are added up,
89
00:04:03,493 --> 00:04:05,579
the two that make it
the farthest the fastest
90
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:07,873
will move on to our second,
even more grueling
91
00:04:07,873 --> 00:04:10,167
course challenge:
Dead Run.
92
00:04:10,167 --> 00:04:11,960
The winner earns a cash prize,
93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,837
and a spot in
the grand champion showdown
94
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:15,380
at the end of the season
95
00:04:15,380 --> 00:04:18,550
to vie for
a $20,000 cash prize
96
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:23,013
and the title
of "Knife Or Death" champion.
97
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:25,432
- We station our very
own blade expert,
98
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,476
and "Forged in Fire" champion,
99
00:04:27,476 --> 00:04:29,895
Travis Wuertz before
the start of this run.
100
00:04:29,895 --> 00:04:33,064
He's gonna give your blade
one final once-over
101
00:04:33,064 --> 00:04:36,193
before we give you the green
light to tackle Knife Fight.
102
00:04:36,193 --> 00:04:38,570
If he finds any problems
with your blade,
103
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:40,739
he can disqualify you
from this competition.
104
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:45,202
- Time to get your hands dirty.
105
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,454
- The adrenaline is flowing.
106
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:49,289
I'm ready to compete.
I'm gonna win.
107
00:04:51,374 --> 00:04:54,211
I'm Karl Groger,
108
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:56,129
and I'm from Holtsville,
New York.
109
00:04:56,129 --> 00:05:00,050
I enjoy competing in
martial arts competitions.
110
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,552
I also hold
a black belt in Iaido,
111
00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:05,388
the way of Japanese
samurai sword.
112
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,349
The blade that I brought
is a shinken,
113
00:05:07,349 --> 00:05:09,559
which is a live
Japanese katana.
114
00:05:09,559 --> 00:05:11,645
There is a confidence
and a spirit
115
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,605
that shoots through
the blade into me.
116
00:05:13,605 --> 00:05:14,689
It should be able to
cut through anything
117
00:05:14,689 --> 00:05:16,775
you can throw at me.
118
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,029
- Hi there.
119
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:27,619
Thank you.
120
00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:28,829
It's great to see somebody
121
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:29,955
go through a lot
of the practice
122
00:05:29,955 --> 00:05:31,832
of the art
of the Japanese sword.
123
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:35,335
- It's been a part of my spirit
my whole life.
124
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:38,296
That was hand forged to
the specifications of my body.
125
00:05:38,296 --> 00:05:41,508
You can't take a sharpened
blade out of Japan.
126
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,635
They're actually considered
national treasures,
127
00:05:43,635 --> 00:05:46,721
so I was lucky enough
to have found a Japanese smith
128
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:48,056
that actually lived in China,
129
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:49,057
and they were able
to send it to me
130
00:05:49,057 --> 00:05:50,475
here in the United States.
131
00:05:50,475 --> 00:05:52,310
- Yeah,
this is a beautiful blade,
132
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:54,187
but it does seem to have
a little bit of wiggle.
133
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:56,398
This can affect
the performance of the blade.
134
00:05:56,398 --> 00:05:57,941
I've to do a little bit
of testing,
135
00:05:57,941 --> 00:05:59,734
make sure it's safe
and handles well
136
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:01,027
before you're allowed
on the course with it.
137
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:02,237
- Hai.
138
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,078
- This is a fine blade,
139
00:06:10,078 --> 00:06:11,830
and this definitely
makes the cut.
140
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:13,874
- Thank you, sir.
- Good luck.
141
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:15,166
- I've come
to "Knife Or Death"
142
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:18,253
for one reason: to win.
143
00:06:24,175 --> 00:06:25,802
- I'm really excited
to see Karl.
144
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:27,804
He is the modern-day samurai.
145
00:06:27,804 --> 00:06:29,514
The katana began to develop
146
00:06:29,514 --> 00:06:31,600
when the Mongolians
invaded Japan.
147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,351
A sharper blade was needed
to pierce
148
00:06:33,351 --> 00:06:35,812
the Mongol warrior's
leather armor.
149
00:06:35,812 --> 00:06:38,607
Let's see how it cuts
through a box and gravel.
150
00:06:38,607 --> 00:06:41,443
- Hai!
- His blade, by far,
151
00:06:41,443 --> 00:06:43,153
is the largest blade
in today's competition.
152
00:06:43,153 --> 00:06:46,156
- You have 28 inches
of cutting power.
153
00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:47,490
He can wield this thing
with one hand,
154
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:49,534
or he can double up
with both hands.
155
00:06:49,534 --> 00:06:51,786
- Is bigger better?
We're gonna see.
156
00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,084
- See how he's hitting
at a downward angle?
157
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,211
- Clean cut! Power!
158
00:07:00,211 --> 00:07:01,546
- He's dropping those hips.
He's dropping the legs.
159
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:03,340
- He's through, he's through.
160
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:05,967
The torches are down.
It was precise.
161
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:07,385
He got the angle of attack,
162
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:09,012
and he generated
the power needed
163
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:11,056
to blow right through
those dowels.
164
00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:14,976
Next up, Stick and Move.
165
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,770
- He's going towards
thrusting motion.
166
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:19,564
- Samurai blades
employ soft metal.
167
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:21,483
He may e trying to preserve
his blade here.
168
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,735
- The katana is a long blade.
169
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:25,904
Thrusting, versus
slashing the corners,
170
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:28,573
is not gonna give
the penetration to cut through.
171
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,617
It's slowly releasing
those contents.
172
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,535
I would've utilize
the power of that blade.
173
00:07:32,535 --> 00:07:34,204
- He's leaving the crate
174
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:35,997
before that counterweight
reaches the ground.
175
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:37,791
- In the Special Forces,
176
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:39,751
you make sure that threat's
down before you move on.
177
00:07:41,711 --> 00:07:43,546
- Now he's gonna try and slice
through the first bucket.
178
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:44,964
Let's talk about cardio
right now.
179
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:46,424
You see him slowing down.
180
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:48,551
- He's feeling
the pressure and time.
181
00:07:48,551 --> 00:07:50,470
- Now onto the second bucket.
182
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,138
The second bucket's
counterweight
183
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:53,515
reaches the ground.
184
00:07:53,515 --> 00:07:55,225
He needs those
two counterweights
185
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:56,935
to hit the ground
before you cross that line,
186
00:07:56,935 --> 00:07:59,270
or it's a 25-second penalty.
187
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:01,648
Oh, he gave up on the box,
and the first bucket,
188
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:03,316
and crossed the line
189
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,652
before the two counterweights
hit the ground.
190
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:07,779
Two penalties
on Stick and Move.
191
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:10,532
- This ice is going to make
or break Karl.
192
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:12,659
The katana is a long blade.
193
00:08:12,659 --> 00:08:16,413
He needs to hit it
at the proper angle.
194
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:18,081
- Look how he's attacking it.
- Yeah, and he's attacking it.
195
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:20,959
Angle one. He's coming down,
but I would also come up
196
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:23,336
at an angle
to open up that cavity.
197
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,630
- Is he getting a little bounce
from that ice?
198
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:31,511
Oh my God, his blade
is actually bending.
199
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,722
But he's through the tube.
There's the red liquid!
200
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,473
- He bust through that ice,
201
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:37,308
but he's definitely
concerned about that blade.
202
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:39,769
- And as you see,
he's manually bending it back.
203
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:43,481
- Definitely gonna
play in Lifeline.
204
00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:45,692
- Karl is competing
with a bent blade,
205
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,028
and he's gonna need total
concentration and skill here
206
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:49,404
on Lifeline.
207
00:08:49,404 --> 00:08:51,322
Through the chicken!
208
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:53,450
Nice!
209
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:58,747
Karl is staring down
sudden death.
210
00:08:58,747 --> 00:08:59,914
Ugh.
211
00:09:02,834 --> 00:09:06,588
Unfortunately, Karl can't move
on and complete the course.
212
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:08,506
- He stopped too short.
213
00:09:08,506 --> 00:09:11,009
You need to cut
through that object.
214
00:09:12,969 --> 00:09:14,721
- Look at those eyes,
215
00:09:14,721 --> 00:09:17,724
and on that face is
complete disappointment.
216
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:19,350
- First off, hell of a run,
217
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,352
but were standing
in front of Lifeline,
218
00:09:21,352 --> 00:09:22,937
which was sudden-death.
219
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,647
- I took that fish
for granted, you know?
220
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:27,025
I kind of just stopped
right here.
221
00:09:27,025 --> 00:09:28,777
Unfortunately misjudged it
a little bit.
222
00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:30,987
That's really disappointing.
The sword didn't break.
223
00:09:30,987 --> 00:09:32,655
My spirit didn't break.
I really should've been able
224
00:09:32,655 --> 00:09:34,282
to cut through
that fish with ease.
225
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,117
- Well, we'll see if your time
is good enough
226
00:09:36,117 --> 00:09:38,453
to put you outside in Dead Run.
227
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:39,579
- Hai.
228
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:43,666
I'm proud of the way
I handled the course.
229
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,168
I think I did it with pride,
230
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:46,795
and I look forward
to being the winner.
231
00:09:46,795 --> 00:09:48,671
- Two other competitors
will have to reach
232
00:09:48,671 --> 00:09:51,299
or pass the fish
faster than Karl
233
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:53,301
in order to knock him
out of the competition.
234
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:56,596
- My name's David McConnell,
235
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,515
and I work
as a machine repairman.
236
00:09:58,515 --> 00:10:00,475
In my down time,
I'm forging blades.
237
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,435
I was on "Forged in Fire."
238
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:04,270
It didn't turn out
quite the way I wanted it to.
239
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:05,939
I came in second.
240
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:07,524
I absolutely do not want
241
00:10:07,524 --> 00:10:09,400
to come in second
on this competition.
242
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,530
- Welcome.
What have you brought me today?
243
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:15,323
- Bolo knife.
244
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:17,617
- Who made this knife?
- I forged it.
245
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,285
- I see you have
a nice thin edge.
246
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,621
The spot--I shouldn't
be able to do that.
247
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,373
You know, you do have
a little bit of a dull spot,
248
00:10:23,373 --> 00:10:24,707
but it looks like a fine blade.
249
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:26,626
I'm gonna do a little bit
250
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:28,169
of test chopping before you're
allowed on the course with it.
251
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:29,921
- Please.
- All right.
252
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:38,221
Well, this part may not be
as sharp as this part,
253
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:39,931
all parts cut.
254
00:10:39,931 --> 00:10:41,724
Your blade has made the cut.
Good luck.
255
00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:43,685
- Thank you.
I'm feeling a lot of anxiety.
256
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:45,061
I just want to cut something.
257
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:51,109
- David McConnell is
a "Forged in Fire" veteran,
258
00:10:51,109 --> 00:10:54,320
and this cat knows
how to forge a blade.
259
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,990
- Bolo knife throughout
history was used to cut down
260
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,449
thick vegetation.
261
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:00,660
- Obviously, these are
good chopping tools.
262
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,620
- But if he doesn't know
how to use balance,
263
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:05,081
like a martial artist,
which he lacks those skills,
264
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:06,916
he may have a problem.
265
00:11:06,916 --> 00:11:10,503
- And he's about three times
the size of his blade.
266
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:12,922
He's gonna have to come down
with all his force.
267
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:15,258
David's off!
268
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:17,427
First dowel, right through it.
269
00:11:17,427 --> 00:11:18,595
Resetting--right
through the second.
270
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:20,555
- See how he's resetting?
271
00:11:20,555 --> 00:11:21,973
He's getting his base down,
he's dropping those knees--
272
00:11:21,973 --> 00:11:23,558
- Making his cut.
273
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:25,476
- He's definitely
using his body.
274
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:26,978
- Yes, sir, that bolo's
going right through it.
275
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:28,563
Whack!
276
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:31,691
Success on Trail Blazer
for David.
277
00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:33,318
- Beautiful run.
278
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:35,570
Now he needs to refocus
the mind.
279
00:11:35,570 --> 00:11:37,530
- Up next, Stick and Move.
280
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:39,741
- David doesn't bring
a lot of raw power,
281
00:11:39,741 --> 00:11:41,951
so it will all depend
on the strength of his blade
282
00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:44,454
to penetrate
these tough objects.
283
00:11:44,454 --> 00:11:47,081
- He's going for each corner,
not specifically one.
284
00:11:47,081 --> 00:11:48,666
- Oh, he's gonna bust
through that box.
285
00:11:48,666 --> 00:11:50,293
- He is blowing
right through it!
286
00:11:52,587 --> 00:11:54,547
Oh, my God!
- Whoa.
287
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:57,717
Oh, my God!
metal clattering
288
00:11:57,717 --> 00:11:59,594
No, he broke
the knife in half!
289
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:01,512
Oh, my God!
- Whoa!
290
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:04,641
- Can you see the disbelief
in David's eyes?
291
00:12:04,641 --> 00:12:06,601
I'm telling you, man,
that is a testament
292
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:09,437
to the difficulty
of this course.
293
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:12,774
- Now, unfortunately, we had
a catastrophic blade failure.
294
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:16,069
Your blade made clean cuts
on the dowels,
295
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:18,529
and I attribute a lot
to your edge geometry,
296
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:20,698
that convex sharp edge.
297
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:22,867
I would've liked to see the
knife survive a little longer.
298
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:25,745
You really got me excited to
see what you could do with it.
299
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,915
We do see some enlarged grain,
but at the same time,
300
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:31,000
this was the thin spot in it.
301
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,127
So unfortunately, your time on
"Knife and Death" is over.
302
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:35,672
- Thank you.
- Here's your tip.
303
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,257
- You know, this competition
meant a lot to David,
304
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:38,883
but his blade failed him,
305
00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:41,427
a blade that
he constructed himself.
306
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:42,887
- I'm feeling
total frustration.
307
00:12:42,887 --> 00:12:45,139
My blade broke.
308
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:47,100
I've never had
this failure before.
309
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,726
Just bad heat treat.
310
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:50,270
I'm so competitive.
311
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:54,607
stammering
A-and this kills me.
312
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:59,153
- Two competitors up,
two competitors down.
313
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:00,738
- My name is Rodrigo
indistinct.
314
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:02,699
I'm originally from Brazil,
and right now,
315
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,784
I live in Atlanta, Georgia.
316
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:07,662
I'm a judo black belt,
a jujitsu black belt.
317
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:09,998
The blade I'm competing with
is a kopis sword.
318
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:11,791
It's a Greek style.
319
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,668
They say back in the years,
it used to help
320
00:13:13,668 --> 00:13:15,962
when you cut a head off,
all this stuff.
321
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:18,172
Every morning, I make
my orange juice with my blade,
322
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,425
cutting the orange,
and stuff, you know, I love it.
323
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:22,010
Opa!
You ready?
324
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:23,052
I'm coming for you all.
325
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:28,683
I brought you a kopis.
326
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:30,852
- A kopis?
Who's the maker?
327
00:13:30,852 --> 00:13:32,812
- There's a guy
from the mountain,
328
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:35,273
up in North Georgia,
this guy is great with knives.
329
00:13:35,273 --> 00:13:37,817
- This is an impressive blade
to hit a small target.
330
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:39,527
- Yeah, I'm ready.
331
00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:41,029
- I'm gonna do a little bit
of testing myself.
332
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:41,988
- Right on.
333
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:50,621
- This is a fine blade.
334
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:52,248
Congratulations.
Your blade makes the cut.
335
00:13:52,248 --> 00:13:53,791
- Appreciate it.
Thank you.
336
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:56,002
Be ready, because
I'm gonna rock and roll.
337
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:03,426
- Look at the energy
from Rodrigo.
338
00:14:03,426 --> 00:14:06,262
- This is a kopis blade.
339
00:14:06,262 --> 00:14:08,681
The hoplites,
back in ancient Greece,
340
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,893
they were armed
with a spear and shield.
341
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:14,771
They had their kopis blade.
They use that as a side arm,
342
00:14:14,771 --> 00:14:17,690
so once Persians would breach
the spears,
343
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:20,860
hoplites, they would transition
to these short swords
344
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:22,904
and, man, I tell you what--
- Carnage.
345
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:24,989
- I feel this is
one of the best blades
346
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:26,574
to bring into this competition.
347
00:14:26,574 --> 00:14:27,575
- This is gonna be fun.
348
00:14:29,744 --> 00:14:31,913
- Got hung up on the dowel.
349
00:14:31,913 --> 00:14:34,290
- With a man his size,
it shows how hard
350
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,251
these things can be
to cut through.
351
00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:38,127
- There he goes.
- Now he's dropping his base.
352
00:14:38,127 --> 00:14:39,545
- Absolutely.
353
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:41,172
- First one,
he didn't drop the base.
354
00:14:41,172 --> 00:14:42,799
- Boom, boom, boom.
Goes through all of them.
355
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:45,968
Okay, Rodrigo stepping up
to Stick and Move.
356
00:14:45,968 --> 00:14:48,763
Let's see
how he destroys the box.
357
00:14:48,763 --> 00:14:51,641
He's blowing it apart!
- shouts
358
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:54,685
- As the contents fall out,
it's only going to get higher.
359
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:56,646
- Is he gonna be able to
have the weight hit the ground
360
00:14:56,646 --> 00:14:59,398
before it's out of his reach?
361
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:02,068
One counterweight down!
Second obstacle!
362
00:15:07,198 --> 00:15:08,950
He may have ripped
that bucket open,
363
00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:11,410
but the counterweight
did not touch the ground.
364
00:15:13,121 --> 00:15:16,040
Whoa! Right through it!
365
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,794
Unbelievable power and ferocity
he attacked that with.
366
00:15:19,794 --> 00:15:21,212
The first bucket's
counterweight
367
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:23,089
did not touch the ground
368
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:25,091
and he's already past the line.
There's the penalty.
369
00:15:26,843 --> 00:15:29,262
- He's attacking low.
370
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,098
He's picking the direct line
to that pipe,
371
00:15:32,098 --> 00:15:33,391
and that's the way to go.
372
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:37,687
- Complete!
373
00:15:37,687 --> 00:15:38,938
He moves on to Lifeline.
374
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,648
Sudden-death obstacle.
375
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:43,401
Remember, one cut
through each object.
376
00:15:43,401 --> 00:15:46,529
If not, you're out
of the challenge.
377
00:15:47,738 --> 00:15:49,282
- Ah, completed number one.
378
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,534
He even had some words
to the chicken.
379
00:15:51,534 --> 00:15:53,452
Karl couldn't get
past the fish.
380
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:55,705
Let's see what Rodrigo can do.
381
00:15:59,834 --> 00:16:01,502
Oh, my God!
382
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,212
He wasn't able to get through.
383
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:05,464
- No! bleep.
buzzer sounds
384
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:07,466
- You see, he did not release
those hips.
385
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:10,761
He did not drive through
that blade. He stopped short.
386
00:16:10,761 --> 00:16:13,389
fish didn't fall.
387
00:16:13,389 --> 00:16:15,725
- I don't understand
with each of these contestants
388
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:16,851
why they don't get
to that point...
389
00:16:16,851 --> 00:16:18,603
- Wow.
- Take their time,
390
00:16:18,603 --> 00:16:20,855
and go through it like
a hot knife through butter.
391
00:16:20,855 --> 00:16:25,067
What is it gonna take for
somebody to defeat this course?
392
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:26,611
- I'm Jo Carruthers,
393
00:16:26,611 --> 00:16:28,279
and I'm from Mooresville,
North Carolina.
394
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,282
I love being
a competitive chopper.
395
00:16:31,282 --> 00:16:34,076
Going through a 2x4
or hitting a dangling rope,
396
00:16:34,076 --> 00:16:36,871
slashing through
all the water bottles,
397
00:16:36,871 --> 00:16:38,581
being out there
with the big guys,
398
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:39,957
and people going, "Wow!"
399
00:16:39,957 --> 00:16:41,876
It's just a blast.
400
00:16:41,876 --> 00:16:44,045
- Welcome. Let me take a look
at your knife.
401
00:16:44,045 --> 00:16:47,006
- It is a 12-inch behemoth
chopper that I made.
402
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:48,424
My husband and I
have a machine shop
403
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:49,842
where we make our knives.
404
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,427
- And you heat treated
this blade yourself?
405
00:16:51,427 --> 00:16:52,803
- Yes.
406
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:53,930
- So this is a sole
authorship blade?
407
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,223
- Sole authorship blade.
408
00:16:55,223 --> 00:16:56,974
- Good for you.
- Thank you.
409
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:58,809
- This is definitely
a structurally sound knife,
410
00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:01,354
and I'm gonna do
a little bit of testing.
411
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:02,813
All right.
412
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:07,902
Congratulations.
413
00:17:07,902 --> 00:17:09,153
Your blade has made the cut.
414
00:17:09,153 --> 00:17:11,530
Good luck in this competition.
415
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,990
- I'm here to show
the knife world
416
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:14,533
that girls can do this too.
417
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:16,535
And I would love
to come home with a win.
418
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:20,957
- She has a lot of experience
in the competition world.
419
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:23,584
Choppers also refer
to stone tools
420
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,254
used as far back
as 2 million years ago.
421
00:17:26,254 --> 00:17:28,089
These choppers are
the modern version
422
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:29,966
of one of man's
earliest inventions.
423
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:32,009
- I'm excited to see it.
424
00:17:32,009 --> 00:17:33,886
buzzer sounds
425
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,765
See, here's where the power,
or lack thereof,
426
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:39,308
may come into play.
427
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:41,185
- I would definitely
drop my base.
428
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:44,313
Use the legs,
use the structure of your body
429
00:17:44,313 --> 00:17:46,190
to be able to drop
and cut through that.
430
00:17:46,190 --> 00:17:47,567
- Yeah.
- She's just using
431
00:17:47,567 --> 00:17:50,820
her upper body
and her hands right now.
432
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:53,447
- She got through.
A couple little stumbles,
433
00:17:53,447 --> 00:17:55,074
but she's moving on
to Stick and Move.
434
00:17:56,951 --> 00:17:59,036
- It's gonna be a little bit
of a disadvantage,
435
00:17:59,036 --> 00:18:02,039
'cause see how she has to swing
almost at a different angle up,
436
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:03,916
you know, if you're shorter.
437
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:05,543
She's getting
a little fatigued,
438
00:18:05,543 --> 00:18:07,211
but hey, you know what?
She's not quitting.
439
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,588
- There's no doubt about that.
440
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:11,048
She has got
the true warrior spirit.
441
00:18:11,048 --> 00:18:13,175
Well, moving on.
442
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:14,885
- Swing through it.
- Lack of power.
443
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:16,929
- You have to swing through it,
just like a boxer.
444
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:18,764
You have to swing
through that target.
445
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:23,352
But I want you to look
at her footing.
446
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,479
She's not really locking in
that place
447
00:18:25,479 --> 00:18:27,273
like a boxer
or a martial artist.
448
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:30,109
She hits at one angle.
The contents start spilling,
449
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:31,777
then she'll hit the other side
of the bucket.
450
00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:33,904
You need to continue to hit
the same area
451
00:18:33,904 --> 00:18:35,823
consistently to release
those contents.
452
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,575
- Second bucket's counterweight
453
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:39,076
reaches the ground.
454
00:18:39,076 --> 00:18:40,661
Two counterweights hanging,
455
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:42,997
there are two penalties.
456
00:18:42,997 --> 00:18:45,041
Got through the pipe,
there's red liquid.
457
00:18:45,041 --> 00:18:48,419
But she is gassed, for sure.
458
00:18:48,419 --> 00:18:51,422
Lifeline concentrates
on the angle of entry,
459
00:18:51,422 --> 00:18:56,052
and the speed
in which you wield it.
460
00:18:56,052 --> 00:18:59,263
- On to Lifeline.
Can she fully slice through
461
00:18:59,263 --> 00:19:02,391
three hanging objects
with one swing each?
462
00:19:02,391 --> 00:19:04,435
Fail and you're not allowed
to go on
463
00:19:04,435 --> 00:19:06,771
Jo did not get through
any fu the chicken!
464
00:19:06,771 --> 00:19:09,440
The rules state that
you must cut completely
465
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,484
through the thickest part
of the chicken.
466
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,235
Jo only cut through the leg,
467
00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:15,780
for that, she's unable
to finish the course.
468
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:17,239
- I wanted to make it
through the course,
469
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:18,866
but I'm proud
of my performance.
470
00:19:18,866 --> 00:19:22,870
Probably the coolest thing
I've ever done.
471
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:24,747
- I'm Pat Biggin, and I've been
a part-time bladesmith
472
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:26,332
for 13 years.
473
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:28,292
As a kid, my grandpa
gave me a knife
474
00:19:28,292 --> 00:19:29,502
that his dad had made for him
during World War II
475
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,337
during his naval service.
476
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,423
And it kind of kicked off
my interest in making blades.
477
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:35,758
In my spare time,
I participate
478
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:36,926
in extreme
obstacle courses.
479
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:38,427
I do all my events in a kilt.
480
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:40,179
My family
is traditionally Irish.
481
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:41,722
And it gives me a little bit
of extra insulation
482
00:19:41,722 --> 00:19:42,932
and padding to move around in.
483
00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:48,604
- What have you brought me?
- I have brought you a chopper.
484
00:19:48,604 --> 00:19:50,231
- All right.
So who forged the blade?
485
00:19:50,231 --> 00:19:52,233
- I did.
- The blade's got nice weight.
486
00:19:52,233 --> 00:19:53,651
Yeah, definitely
has some chopper edge,
487
00:19:53,651 --> 00:19:55,069
except little bit
more of a point.
488
00:19:55,069 --> 00:19:56,487
So what's this?
What you got here?
489
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,489
- Uh,
it's a bamboo hardwood floor
490
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:00,324
from when we redid
the house floors,
491
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:02,410
and the bottom black
is the rubber floor
492
00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:03,619
from my gym we put in.
493
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,371
- Well, I'm gonna do
some testing
494
00:20:05,371 --> 00:20:06,497
before you're allowed
to go out in the competition.
495
00:20:06,497 --> 00:20:07,415
- That sounds like fun.
496
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:12,128
- You ready?
497
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:18,175
- Hell yeah.
498
00:20:18,175 --> 00:20:20,511
- This blade makes the cut.
- Thank you.
499
00:20:20,511 --> 00:20:22,221
Got a lot of adrenaline
running right now,
500
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:23,305
so I want to use that energy,
501
00:20:23,305 --> 00:20:25,015
focus it on all the obstacles.
502
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:26,142
I hope I leave
this course in pieces.
503
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:32,314
- As Pat walks up
to Trail Blazer,
504
00:20:32,314 --> 00:20:34,483
let's talk about the blade he's
bringing to the competition.
505
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:37,528
- This is a heavy chopper,
so any downward angle,
506
00:20:37,528 --> 00:20:39,405
he's gonna slice through
like butter.
507
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:41,866
My only concern is, there's
not a lot of blade there.
508
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:44,910
Blade hand gets tired,
he can't really double up.
509
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:47,413
Only 5 inches of handle.
510
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,165
- He kind of looks
like a Viking.
511
00:20:49,165 --> 00:20:51,083
- He does.
buzzer sounds
512
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,836
- There goes Pat,
right through the first dowel.
513
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:56,505
Not an issue whatsoever.
Taking his time.
514
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:58,841
- That chopper cutting through,
no problems.
515
00:21:02,553 --> 00:21:05,347
- This is about power
and this is about strategy.
516
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,808
And he goes
right for the corner.
517
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:10,686
He's about to destroy
that entire box.
518
00:21:12,229 --> 00:21:14,148
Full destruction!
519
00:21:14,148 --> 00:21:16,150
There he goes, moving on.
520
00:21:16,150 --> 00:21:17,735
Box is down,
the question is,
521
00:21:17,735 --> 00:21:18,986
with the shortness
of that blade,
522
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:20,571
how is he gonna take this on?
523
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:22,364
- There's not much blade,
524
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:26,494
so he's able to wield
that thing a lot faster.
525
00:21:26,494 --> 00:21:27,995
- I don't think
there's any question
526
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:30,122
that Pat's getting
a little winded here.
527
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,667
- There's a lot of strokes,
a lot of movement.
528
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:35,419
- He's through! He's through!
529
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:38,756
He's done with Stick and Move.
On to Ice Pick.
530
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:42,134
I don't know about
the shortness of that blade,
531
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:44,637
how it's gonna be attacked.
532
00:21:44,637 --> 00:21:47,097
- But he's hitting it hard.
- Man, he is going through it.
533
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:49,934
- He has no problems with that,
and I truly feel
534
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:52,436
that it's because of
the shortness of the blade--
535
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:55,481
allows him full control
over that weapon.
536
00:21:55,481 --> 00:21:58,651
- Well, that, and the size
of his biceps.
537
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:01,153
- That grip is wearing down
on that ice.
538
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:03,531
- I'm watching him attack that
ice, and I'm getting fatigued.
539
00:22:03,531 --> 00:22:05,199
- When you have thick gloves,
540
00:22:05,199 --> 00:22:06,617
you don't have
that grip strength.
541
00:22:06,617 --> 00:22:08,702
See how he's readjusting?
- Yep.
542
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:10,538
- The kill shot. Nice!
543
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:12,706
Readjusting his grip again,
you see that.
544
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:15,125
No margin for error
in Lifeline.
545
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:18,087
One swing, and not
a clean cut through,
546
00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:19,255
and you're out
of the challenge.
547
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:20,422
This is gonna be tough.
548
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:24,218
He did not get through
the chicken!
549
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:27,012
Unfortunately,
550
00:22:27,012 --> 00:22:29,640
Pat cannot move on
and complete the course.
551
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,475
More than half
the competitors
552
00:22:31,475 --> 00:22:33,018
have stepped up
to Knife Fight,
553
00:22:33,018 --> 00:22:35,521
and not one has made it
past Lifeline.
554
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:38,482
At the end of the day,
that chicken kicked his ass.
555
00:22:40,609 --> 00:22:42,361
- My name is Craig Singleton.
556
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:45,990
I got interested in blades
about six years ago,
557
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,534
when I started getting into
African martial arts.
558
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:51,996
It wasn't Daniel-san,
Mr. Miyagi type of thing,
559
00:22:51,996 --> 00:22:54,456
it was just
a combat defense tool.
560
00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:57,167
The blade I brought is custom
handmade from Palestine.
561
00:22:57,167 --> 00:22:58,836
It's a simple blade.
562
00:22:58,836 --> 00:23:00,588
It's stocky,
it reminds me of myself.
563
00:23:00,588 --> 00:23:02,047
There is no competition.
564
00:23:05,593 --> 00:23:07,761
- Well, what have you
brought me today?
565
00:23:07,761 --> 00:23:09,513
- I brought you a bowie.
566
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:10,890
- How have you trained
with this knife?
567
00:23:10,890 --> 00:23:12,600
- I just got it recently,
568
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,144
so I did a couple
of cutting on fruit.
569
00:23:15,144 --> 00:23:17,479
- Well, it's a very fast blade,
570
00:23:17,479 --> 00:23:19,732
but it doesn't have
a whole lot of mass up front.
571
00:23:19,732 --> 00:23:21,942
You know the old proverb,
572
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:24,361
"Man with short knife
needs long arms."
573
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:26,447
You're gonna need some long
arms to swing this sucker,
574
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:28,115
but I'm gonna
do some testing.
575
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:29,450
Gonna determine
whether or not
576
00:23:29,450 --> 00:23:30,534
you're able to compete
with this blade.
577
00:23:30,534 --> 00:23:32,161
- Ready.
- Right.
578
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:43,297
So I definitely felt
some resistance cutting.
579
00:23:43,297 --> 00:23:44,757
That kind of comes
to the overall
580
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:46,550
lack of mass in the tip.
581
00:23:46,550 --> 00:23:48,886
But ultimately,
what I can do with the knife
582
00:23:48,886 --> 00:23:51,263
has nothing to do with
what you can do to a knife.
583
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:53,849
Your knife makes the cut.
Good luck.
584
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:55,768
- Thank you.
Oh, I'm cool right now,
585
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:57,519
but when it's time
to go on this course,
586
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:00,272
I'm hitting the ground
running.
587
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,107
- Craig Singleton,
588
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:06,028
wielding, for the first time
today, a bowie knife.
589
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:10,074
- It was used by Jim Bowie
in the Battle of the Alamo
590
00:24:10,074 --> 00:24:11,825
for a self-defense
type of weapon,
591
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:13,827
versus chopping
through something.
592
00:24:13,827 --> 00:24:16,830
Well, he comes from an African
martial art background.
593
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:20,960
It's used to breach, it's used
to eliminate the threat.
594
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,088
I just don't know how it's
gonna do in this competition.
595
00:24:24,088 --> 00:24:26,465
- But he's got the guts
to step up to the plate,
596
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:28,384
and he has, ultimately,
the guts to take on
597
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:29,718
"Knife or Death."
598
00:24:29,718 --> 00:24:31,095
buzzer sounds
Here he goes.
599
00:24:31,095 --> 00:24:33,055
- bleep.
600
00:24:33,055 --> 00:24:35,265
- Okay, we've got problems
from the beginning.
601
00:24:35,265 --> 00:24:36,976
I think he almost lost
the blade out of his hand.
602
00:24:36,976 --> 00:24:38,435
- See how he readjusted
his mind?
603
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:40,229
- Yes, sir.
604
00:24:40,229 --> 00:24:41,730
And he is attacking it
with fervor.
605
00:24:41,730 --> 00:24:45,901
Look at that.
Destroying the course!
606
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:48,404
Up next, Stick and Move.
Here he goes.
607
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,574
- He's trying to attack low.
608
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:54,576
Now he's coming
at attack angle two.
609
00:24:54,576 --> 00:24:57,037
- He is going to gas out
before he gets anywhere.
610
00:24:57,037 --> 00:24:58,914
That is my prediction.
611
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:00,165
- That is not the blade
to be hitting
612
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:01,959
at the corners like that.
- Yeah.
613
00:25:01,959 --> 00:25:04,003
Although, he's got some
aggression going towards it.
614
00:25:04,003 --> 00:25:05,879
He's not giving up.
615
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:07,548
- I can see the martial art
background coming out.
616
00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:09,049
- One thing's for sure:
617
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:10,843
he has the will
and determination.
618
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,511
He's not giving up.
619
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:14,888
He is going for broke.
620
00:25:14,888 --> 00:25:16,682
He's getting success now.
621
00:25:21,979 --> 00:25:24,189
One counterweight
finally down.
622
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:27,526
On to the second part
of Stick and Move.
623
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,611
- He definitely needs to change
his pattern of attack.
624
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,238
That's not cutting through.
625
00:25:31,238 --> 00:25:33,949
- Adapt and overcome.
626
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:36,035
Now, I can't see from
this angle, but I don't know
627
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:38,203
if he's been able
to even penetrate that yet.
628
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:40,622
The blade's bouncing off.
I don't think the edge
629
00:25:40,622 --> 00:25:43,167
is anywhere near sharp enough
to be doing this.
630
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:54,011
His blade broke
right off the handle!
631
00:25:54,011 --> 00:25:57,097
buzzer sounds
Instant disqualification.
632
00:25:57,097 --> 00:25:58,182
- There's your problem.
633
00:25:58,182 --> 00:26:00,642
This being such a thin blade,
634
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:03,520
the tang--I don't have
a better word than bleep.
635
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,481
laughs
636
00:26:05,481 --> 00:26:07,357
But it was a pleasure
watching you swing it.
637
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:09,735
- Thank you.
- Unfortunately,
638
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:13,072
your time on "Knife or Death"
is done.
639
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:15,449
Would you like a souvenir?
- Sure.
640
00:26:15,449 --> 00:26:17,534
- laughs
641
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:19,453
- I am disappointed
in the blade,
642
00:26:19,453 --> 00:26:21,246
because I paid
some money for it.
643
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:25,000
I figured that I was getting
a quality for my money.
644
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,795
- What he lacked in blade,
he sure made up for in heart.
645
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:32,466
- When I was eight years old,
my dad handed me a knife,
646
00:26:32,466 --> 00:26:33,592
pointed me to a deer and said,
"Skin it,
647
00:26:33,592 --> 00:26:35,511
and don't cut any holes."
648
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,554
I figured out I might as well
just start making my own.
649
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:39,348
My name's Jo Smith,
650
00:26:39,348 --> 00:26:40,849
and I use every bit
of my engineering background
651
00:26:40,849 --> 00:26:42,684
to build my knives.
652
00:26:42,684 --> 00:26:44,520
I've been a blade sports
competitor for a while.
653
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,064
This is the knife
I'll be bringing.
654
00:26:47,064 --> 00:26:48,899
This blade is bad ass.
655
00:26:48,899 --> 00:26:50,692
It's sharp.
656
00:26:50,692 --> 00:26:52,277
I could shave you bald
with it.
657
00:26:55,656 --> 00:26:57,074
- What have you brought me?
658
00:26:57,074 --> 00:26:59,076
- I brought you
a competition blade.
659
00:26:59,076 --> 00:27:01,078
Cleaver style, no point,
built to a spec
660
00:27:01,078 --> 00:27:02,871
that is good for cutting,
chopping.
661
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:04,581
- Do you have any blade
sports experience?
662
00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:06,959
- I'm the 2017 Amateur Points
national champion.
663
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:08,377
- Awesome.
So did you forge this blade?
664
00:27:08,377 --> 00:27:10,212
- Correct.
- Very polished edge.
665
00:27:10,212 --> 00:27:11,880
- Correct.
666
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,756
- Your intent is to sever
anything this blade
667
00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:14,758
comes in contact with.
668
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:16,760
- With speed and that polish,
it'll go through anything.
669
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,220
- Well, we're gonna do
a little bit of testing
670
00:27:18,220 --> 00:27:19,638
before you're allowed
on the course with it.
671
00:27:19,638 --> 00:27:21,974
- Have at it.
- All right.
672
00:27:25,936 --> 00:27:29,606
This is a fine blade.
It definitely makes cut.
673
00:27:29,606 --> 00:27:31,692
Good luck.
- Thank you, sir.
674
00:27:31,692 --> 00:27:33,944
I'm extraordinarily confident
in my blade.
675
00:27:33,944 --> 00:27:36,321
It'll do anything I need it to.
I'm gonna win this.
676
00:27:40,951 --> 00:27:42,744
- I can hear them,
now I can see him.
677
00:27:42,744 --> 00:27:45,372
Big bad Jo
from Jenks, Oklahoma,
678
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:47,124
stepping up to the plate!
679
00:27:47,124 --> 00:27:48,959
- Looks like the Lone Ranger
little bit,
680
00:27:48,959 --> 00:27:51,503
with an attitude
and a huge knife.
681
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:54,298
- This dude looks like
an assassin in a Coen movie.
682
00:27:54,298 --> 00:27:57,676
This guy lives, breathes,
and eats choppers.
683
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,262
- Look at that thing, though.
- That's unbelievable.
684
00:28:00,262 --> 00:28:02,306
Right now, the course
is his adversary,
685
00:28:02,306 --> 00:28:04,766
because it's kicked
everybody's ass up until now.
686
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:07,686
Not one competitor
completed the course.
687
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:10,314
So far, only two have even
made it past the chicken.
688
00:28:10,314 --> 00:28:11,857
Jo is the last one up,
689
00:28:11,857 --> 00:28:13,859
and he's got to make it
to the fish
690
00:28:13,859 --> 00:28:15,694
to even have a chance
of moving on.
691
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:17,279
- Come on, let's do this!
- Jo's ready.
692
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:18,822
He's about to jump out
of them boots.
693
00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,616
buzzer sounds
Jo starts Trail Blazer!
694
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:22,576
Right through the first,
right through the second.
695
00:28:22,576 --> 00:28:25,329
Good God!
696
00:28:25,329 --> 00:28:27,706
- Oh, yeah.
- Speed, precision.
697
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:29,917
Unbelievable!
- Unbelievable!
698
00:28:29,917 --> 00:28:33,587
- Jo got through there in half
the time it took everyone else.
699
00:28:33,587 --> 00:28:35,756
As he steps up
to Stick and Move,
700
00:28:35,756 --> 00:28:38,800
we've seen people have an issue
with that box before.
701
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,303
Let's see how Jo attacks it.
702
00:28:41,303 --> 00:28:43,555
And there he goes,
here we go!
703
00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:45,140
- I would attack
a little lower,
704
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:46,475
'cause he's hitting it high,
705
00:28:46,475 --> 00:28:48,018
and is counters are not
dropping.
706
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:49,770
He's just trying
to destroy the box.
707
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:51,313
- Looks like he's trying
to destroy it and he did.
708
00:28:51,313 --> 00:28:53,607
Jo moves on
to the second obstacle.
709
00:28:53,607 --> 00:28:56,985
There we go, counterweight's
down on the first.
710
00:28:56,985 --> 00:28:59,321
Looks like he's exerting
a little bit more effort.
711
00:28:59,321 --> 00:29:02,407
Counterweight two did not
touch the ground, though.
712
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:03,784
And you see him
take the deep breath.
713
00:29:03,784 --> 00:29:05,827
You see the enter
of angle right there?
714
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:08,914
Jo is destroying the course!
715
00:29:08,914 --> 00:29:11,249
Second counterweight did
not touch the ground, though.
716
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:13,210
That will incur a penalty.
717
00:29:14,836 --> 00:29:16,797
Okay, now we're testing
that blade on the ice.
718
00:29:16,797 --> 00:29:18,590
- On the top!
- Completely different strategy
719
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:20,258
than we've seen before.
720
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:23,345
We are watching a pro at work.
Taking his time.
721
00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:24,805
Strategic.
722
00:29:24,805 --> 00:29:26,431
And he's wearing
half of that ice.
723
00:29:26,431 --> 00:29:29,768
I see red. It's a pass.
724
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:31,770
No one's made it through.
725
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,564
Can Jo defeat Lifeline?
726
00:29:34,564 --> 00:29:36,733
Here we go.
727
00:29:36,733 --> 00:29:39,027
One cut--oh, successful
through the chicken.
728
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:41,279
Absolutely easy.
buzzer sounds
729
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,115
He rushed.
- bleep.
730
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:46,159
- Did not take his time.
He didn't analyze the object.
731
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:48,328
No question,
he didn't follow through.
732
00:29:48,328 --> 00:29:49,746
You can't tell me that blade's
not sharp enough
733
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:51,123
to go through that fish.
734
00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:52,582
- That blade will cut
through it.
735
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:53,792
- I feel like
I let everybody down.
736
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:55,752
- Jo is devastated.
737
00:29:55,752 --> 00:29:57,546
- bleep things off of me.
738
00:29:57,546 --> 00:29:59,715
- This is a national
level champion
739
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:02,217
so this should tell you
how hard this course is.
740
00:30:02,217 --> 00:30:04,428
- Jo, that was
an incredible run,
741
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:07,889
unfortunately,
it ends here at Lifeline.
742
00:30:07,889 --> 00:30:10,017
But your time on "Knife
or Death" may not be over.
743
00:30:10,017 --> 00:30:11,476
- Thank you, sir.
744
00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:16,231
- What I love about
all these competitors,
745
00:30:16,231 --> 00:30:17,816
they had fight in them.
746
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,109
- Well, they didn't
have a choice,
747
00:30:19,109 --> 00:30:20,777
because this course
fought back.
748
00:30:20,777 --> 00:30:22,154
And it won.
749
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:30,996
Blade wielders,
nobody completed
750
00:30:30,996 --> 00:30:32,789
the Knife Fight course.
751
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,958
There were two catastrophic
blade failures,
752
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:37,294
and you are the three
who made at the farthest.
753
00:30:37,294 --> 00:30:39,296
You all made it
past the chicken,
754
00:30:39,296 --> 00:30:40,881
but got stopped
by the fish.
755
00:30:42,924 --> 00:30:46,011
Now, it's down to
who did it faster.
756
00:30:46,011 --> 00:30:49,473
Jo, your time,
including penalties,
757
00:30:49,473 --> 00:30:53,727
was one minute and 37 seconds,
758
00:30:53,727 --> 00:30:56,188
the fastest time today.
759
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:59,399
Congratulations, you're the
first competitor in Dead Run.
760
00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:00,817
- Thank you, sir.
761
00:31:00,817 --> 00:31:04,279
- Rodrigo,
your time in Knife Fight,
762
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:09,659
including penalties, was
two minutes and two seconds.
763
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:13,663
Karl, your time,
including penalties was...
764
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:20,504
Three minutes and 28 seconds.
765
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:22,756
Rodrigo, congratulations.
766
00:31:22,756 --> 00:31:26,510
You earned the right
to face Jo in Dead Run.
767
00:31:26,510 --> 00:31:28,553
- Yeah!
768
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,305
- Sorry, Karl,
769
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:35,268
but your run on "Knife
or Death" ends right here.
770
00:31:35,268 --> 00:31:36,853
- Thank you. Good luck.
771
00:31:36,853 --> 00:31:38,814
I'm pretty disappointed.
772
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,149
I should be holding the
championship trophy right now,
773
00:31:41,149 --> 00:31:43,276
and I'm not.
774
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:46,279
- We have an epic battle
set up for Dead Run.
775
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,406
And the winner will get
the chance to come back
776
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:50,992
for the grand champion
showdown
777
00:31:50,992 --> 00:31:54,621
for the chance
to take home $20,000.
778
00:31:54,621 --> 00:31:56,164
- I'm feeling pumped,
I got a job to do.
779
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:57,249
Let's get it done.
Let's go home.
780
00:32:01,545 --> 00:32:03,880
- Gentlemen, behind me
is the most difficult
781
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,258
blade course ever built.
782
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:08,552
This is Dead Run!
783
00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:14,933
While Knife Fight was the
ultimate test of your blades,
784
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:17,811
Dead Run is the ultimate
test of your speed,
785
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:21,273
timing, accuracy,
and precision.
786
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:24,401
- bleep.
It's about to get real.
787
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:25,902
This course,
it's twice as long
788
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:27,320
as anything
we've done so far.
789
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,406
Let's see what happens.
790
00:32:29,406 --> 00:32:31,324
- Steak Knife:
from the platform,
791
00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,410
cut each steak in half.
792
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:36,288
A solid slice will keep
the swing moving.
793
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:39,207
Extinguisher: cut the rope,
release the bottle.
794
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,335
Cut the bottle on the downswing
to extinguish the flame.
795
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:45,755
Weight Cut: cut the necessary
40 pounds each
796
00:32:45,755 --> 00:32:48,091
from the meat and
the ice block to advance.
797
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:51,469
Free Fall: you cut each
watermelon as it drops.
798
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,723
Only exposed red fruit counts.
799
00:32:54,723 --> 00:32:56,725
Strike Zone:
behind that curtain
800
00:32:56,725 --> 00:32:59,561
is a variety of objects
that you must attack.
801
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:01,313
Cut the rope
to bring down the curtain,
802
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,148
and the objects are revealed.
803
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:05,358
Every object
must be cut in half.
804
00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:07,861
Dead Run ends with Fire Storm,
805
00:33:07,861 --> 00:33:10,405
where you must cut two ropes
to release the platform,
806
00:33:10,405 --> 00:33:12,824
fight exhaustion
to ascended the stairs,
807
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:16,244
and the clock stops only if
you can make one final chop
808
00:33:16,244 --> 00:33:19,122
through a stack
of hard sugarcane.
809
00:33:19,122 --> 00:33:21,750
In Dead Run,
the clock never stops,
810
00:33:21,750 --> 00:33:23,793
and for every challenge
not completed,
811
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:25,754
time penalties will be added.
812
00:33:25,754 --> 00:33:27,672
The fastest time wins.
813
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:30,050
Rodrigo, you're up first.
814
00:33:30,050 --> 00:33:32,969
Please take your spot
in the starting position.
815
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:35,472
We'll see you gentlemen
at the finish line.
816
00:33:40,268 --> 00:33:42,520
- Look at that intensity!
817
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,815
- My only issue with Rodrigo
going through is,
818
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:47,943
can he contain his excitement?
819
00:33:47,943 --> 00:33:52,155
buzzer sounds
820
00:33:52,155 --> 00:33:54,532
- This is my first
blade competition ever,
821
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:55,992
and I made it all the way
to the finals.
822
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:58,828
Nothing's gonna stop me today.
823
00:33:58,828 --> 00:34:00,664
buzzer sounds
shouts
824
00:34:00,664 --> 00:34:02,749
- There he goes!
He's up to Steak Knife.
825
00:34:02,749 --> 00:34:06,461
- The technique to this
is slicing at an angle.
826
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:08,922
Definitely the length of
that blade is helping him out.
827
00:34:08,922 --> 00:34:12,884
He has more power
behind that swing.
828
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:14,803
- He let that thing swing
all the way around,
829
00:34:14,803 --> 00:34:17,264
and didn't make another cut.
830
00:34:17,264 --> 00:34:19,099
Moving on to Extinguisher.
831
00:34:19,099 --> 00:34:21,643
There is an unknown
factor here.
832
00:34:21,643 --> 00:34:23,561
Even if you break
the bottle open,
833
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:24,771
it doesn't ensure
that the water's
834
00:34:24,771 --> 00:34:27,107
gonna put out the flame.
835
00:34:27,107 --> 00:34:29,651
- When that bottle's going,
he needs to pinpoint
836
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:30,986
where he's gonna attack it,
837
00:34:30,986 --> 00:34:32,487
and hit it at that angle.
838
00:34:32,487 --> 00:34:36,199
- It did not
extinguish the flame.
839
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:37,701
- Look at that water!
- Oh, got that one!
840
00:34:37,701 --> 00:34:40,078
- There it is!
841
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:41,746
- Beautiful shot!
842
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:45,292
- He needs to do that again.
Find that spot.
843
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:47,502
- Yeah, the problem with
getting it on the back swing
844
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:50,171
is it's not angled
at the flame.
845
00:34:54,384 --> 00:34:57,429
Okay, he got the final candle.
846
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,681
He incurred
a couple penalties now.
847
00:34:59,681 --> 00:35:03,226
He's on to Weight Cut,
one of the obstacles
848
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:04,894
that I think he may have
a little problem with.
849
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,563
- The ice tears up the blade,
850
00:35:06,563 --> 00:35:08,481
so it's about that durability.
851
00:35:08,481 --> 00:35:09,941
- 40 pounds each.
852
00:35:11,568 --> 00:35:13,194
- He's attacking it
pretty high,
853
00:35:13,194 --> 00:35:15,530
so that big chunk
is gonna drop.
854
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:17,407
- The amount of strikes
that he's taken,
855
00:35:17,407 --> 00:35:19,909
it's continually
dulling that blade.
856
00:35:23,997 --> 00:35:26,583
Oh, look at that.
He goes on the meat.
857
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:30,754
Almost lost some grip there.
858
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:33,673
- You can definitely see
that blade is wearing down.
859
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:35,508
- Yeah, so is his cardio.
860
00:35:35,508 --> 00:35:37,385
There's no question about it.
861
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:40,430
He's gonna be exhausted
after getting through this.
862
00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:46,269
He's moving on
and came up one pound short.
863
00:35:46,269 --> 00:35:48,063
40 pounds--
that's a time penalty
864
00:35:48,063 --> 00:35:50,940
for each pound he was under.
865
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:53,485
- This is all about
hand and eye coordination.
866
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:55,403
- Two for two.
867
00:35:57,155 --> 00:35:58,907
Four for four, he's on it!
868
00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:00,909
- He's finding that spot.
- Oh, he missed it.
869
00:36:00,909 --> 00:36:03,411
- Oh, he missed it.
- He's going.
870
00:36:03,411 --> 00:36:05,580
- Oh, he's there!
- Nice!
871
00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:08,500
- Find that spot!
- Final one!
872
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:10,502
And he gets it!
- Yes!
873
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:13,630
- Moves on to Strike Zone.
874
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:15,048
Okay, right here
is where were gonna see
875
00:36:15,048 --> 00:36:16,716
the sharpness of that blade.
876
00:36:16,716 --> 00:36:18,677
Does it have
an edge on it left?
877
00:36:18,677 --> 00:36:22,013
Objects in Strike Zone
must be cut completely in half
878
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:24,641
before moving on
and the time's ticking.
879
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:26,851
Rope first,
having some issues with it.
880
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:29,145
- He needs to drop his legs!
881
00:36:29,145 --> 00:36:32,190
- Doesn't go all the way
through, he's going home.
882
00:36:36,444 --> 00:36:37,821
He's through the rope.
883
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:42,534
- He needs to attack
each one of these items.
884
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:43,493
- Yeah, I don't think
he's got an issue
885
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:45,161
with going through these,
886
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:47,414
but he needs to get
some speed going there.
887
00:36:47,414 --> 00:36:49,999
He just took those apart.
888
00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:53,211
Sugarcane--whack!
Onto the fish.
889
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:56,589
Gave everybody problems inside.
Problems outside too.
890
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:58,383
Two swipes.
891
00:36:58,383 --> 00:37:00,135
- You can definitely see
the dulling of the blade--
892
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:01,344
it's wearing it down.
893
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:06,307
- He's having some serious
issue
894
00:37:06,307 --> 00:37:08,184
with that pork belly
right there.
895
00:37:15,108 --> 00:37:18,153
Okay, moving on
to the final one; Fire Storm.
896
00:37:18,153 --> 00:37:20,155
Rodrigo's exhausted.
897
00:37:20,155 --> 00:37:23,450
His blade's dulled, but he's
got to cut the stairs free.
898
00:37:23,450 --> 00:37:26,202
He's got to ascend to the top
and stop the clock.
899
00:37:28,955 --> 00:37:30,874
Okay, he's got a make up
some time here.
900
00:37:33,877 --> 00:37:35,420
Finished!
901
00:37:37,547 --> 00:37:40,008
Time will be revealed.
902
00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:42,844
- Ha!
903
00:37:42,844 --> 00:37:45,430
- 5:46 for Rodrigo!
904
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:50,477
Rodrigo's time included
four 25-second penalties.
905
00:37:50,477 --> 00:37:54,105
He had two at Extinguisher,
one at Freefall,
906
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:56,941
and came up 1 pound short
at Weight Cut.
907
00:37:56,941 --> 00:37:58,818
Let's hope that that 1 pound
908
00:37:58,818 --> 00:38:01,738
is not the difference
between victory or defeat.
909
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,871
We've got Rodrigo's time.
Let's see what Jo's gonna do.
910
00:38:11,664 --> 00:38:13,708
- When I failed on Knife Fight
earlier,
911
00:38:13,708 --> 00:38:16,377
I was devastated.
I didn't know what to do.
912
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:18,254
I got a chance
to redeem myself.
913
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:19,964
I came to prove my mettle.
914
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,050
I came to prove myself.
915
00:38:26,888 --> 00:38:28,389
- It's difficult to get
through the meat
916
00:38:28,389 --> 00:38:29,933
when it's dangling
and swinging.
917
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:35,522
- Jo is through Steak Knife.
918
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:37,398
He's on to Extinguisher.
919
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:39,067
Extinguisher
is the ultimate test
920
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:41,194
of your timing and accuracy.
921
00:38:41,194 --> 00:38:42,570
Jo missed the first one.
922
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:43,571
That's a penalty.
923
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:48,034
There's a hit!
924
00:38:48,034 --> 00:38:49,452
Nice shot on the second bottle.
925
00:38:49,452 --> 00:38:50,495
Candle's out.
926
00:38:50,495 --> 00:38:52,831
He's found his stride.
927
00:38:52,831 --> 00:38:54,499
Another hit!
928
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:56,584
- He's finding that perfect
timing now.
929
00:38:59,838 --> 00:39:01,422
- Oh, another miss.
930
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:03,132
Two penalties out
of Extinguisher,
931
00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:06,219
but time to move on
to Weight Cut.
932
00:39:06,219 --> 00:39:09,180
- This ice chopping is no joke,
933
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:12,809
it will wear on your grip.
934
00:39:12,809 --> 00:39:15,937
That ice is
a blade destroyer.
935
00:39:15,937 --> 00:39:17,730
- Whoa! Right through it!
936
00:39:17,730 --> 00:39:19,774
40 pounds instantly.
937
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:21,693
Just like Steak Knife,
938
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:23,903
that thing is flying
right through the meat.
939
00:39:23,903 --> 00:39:26,281
The sharpness on the blade
is just unbelievable.
940
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:33,413
You can tell he's done
something like this before.
941
00:39:33,413 --> 00:39:37,834
- Yeah, you can definitely tell
he is a professional chopper.
942
00:39:37,834 --> 00:39:39,210
- Headed to Free Fall.
943
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:41,337
This is gonna be nuts.
944
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,091
Whoa! Misses it!
945
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:46,467
- He needs to get that timing
down, Bill.
946
00:39:46,467 --> 00:39:48,303
- No question.
947
00:39:48,303 --> 00:39:51,598
Got the second one, missed
the first, got the third.
948
00:39:51,598 --> 00:39:55,018
Good precision, good hand-eye.
Look at that. He is on it.
949
00:39:55,018 --> 00:39:56,561
- That short blade
is easy to wield.
950
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,856
- On it!
951
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:02,025
Oh, he's even eating
some of it.
952
00:40:04,152 --> 00:40:06,112
He only missed one.
Beautiful job.
953
00:40:06,112 --> 00:40:08,156
- That's impressive.
Impressive.
954
00:40:08,156 --> 00:40:10,366
- Jo's on fire.
He's headed to Strike Zone.
955
00:40:14,287 --> 00:40:16,831
- That chopper is
extremely sharp.
956
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,795
- Okay, we're gonna find out
if it's long enough
957
00:40:22,795 --> 00:40:24,589
going through those bottles.
958
00:40:24,589 --> 00:40:26,007
And he destroyed it!
959
00:40:26,007 --> 00:40:28,092
That is carnage!
960
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:30,094
This one--destroyed.
961
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:32,347
He's gotta do this to move on.
962
00:40:32,347 --> 00:40:34,474
Right through the pork.
963
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:37,560
- That was fast.
- Fire Storm!
964
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:46,569
He's headed up.
965
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:54,619
And he's through!
966
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:57,580
Rodrigo's time: 5:46.
967
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:01,000
- Yeah!
968
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,127
- That is one happy
camper up there.
969
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:05,630
Jo is on top of the world,
literally.
970
00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:09,300
This guy took failing
on Knife Fight so hard
971
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:13,096
that he turned it completely
around, redeemed himself,
972
00:41:13,096 --> 00:41:16,808
came out here and
he destroyed Rodrigo's time.
973
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:17,850
- Congrats, Jo.
974
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:19,727
- My friend, thank you.
975
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:22,063
- Thank you, man.
Congratulations, man.
976
00:41:22,063 --> 00:41:23,523
I feel a little disappointed,
977
00:41:23,523 --> 00:41:25,441
but I feel great as well
978
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:28,778
to be a part of this
very tough competition.
979
00:41:28,778 --> 00:41:31,906
No regrets at all.
I would do everything again.
980
00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:35,034
If the life
gives you chicken feet,
981
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:37,245
make a stew out of that.
982
00:41:37,245 --> 00:41:39,789
- Ooh!
983
00:41:39,789 --> 00:41:41,749
Oh, boy!
984
00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,252
I fell down in the mud, got up,
985
00:41:44,252 --> 00:41:47,547
wiped it off, came out here,
and kicked its ass.
986
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:48,548
Damn, that feels good.
987
00:41:48,548 --> 00:41:50,508
- You did a hell of a job,
988
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:54,012
and would we will see you
at the grand champion showdown,
989
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:56,556
where you will compete with
five of your fellow champions
990
00:41:56,556 --> 00:42:00,018
to see who will
take home $20,000.
991
00:42:00,018 --> 00:42:03,438
- Boys, you better take
a deep seat in a faraway look.
992
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:06,399
I just punched that ticket for
the grand championship round.
993
00:42:06,399 --> 00:42:07,859
Let's rock 'n roll.
