: How come forging doesn’t seem to have improved since the metal ages ?

629 views

I’m a huge fan of “forged in fire” and it seems to me that technology hasn’t done a great job of improving this craft. I mean except for things like a power hammer, how is it possible that we’re not able to control a quench.

There are so many “castrophical failures”from what seems to be competent bladesmith. I don’t understand how in 2020 there are still variable in that process that we are unable to control.

​

I’m french so sorry in advance if there are error in the text.

Also remember it’s a staged television show. The odds that things are engineered to fail for “better TV” are very high. Many of those failures could be deliberate.
