In the latest episode of Forged in Fire, season 6, episode 14, master bladesmiths Doug Marcaida and 'Name' competed against each other to create a pair of Viking War Axes. The competition was fierce as both smiths brought their A-game to the challenge.

Doug Marcaida's axes stood out for their unibody design, which featured a more mechanical and industrial look. His blades were well-forged and had a nice curve to them, making them ideal for throwing. On the other hand, 'Name''s axes had a more traditional approach with separate pieces bolted together, although they still performed well in the strength test.

The judges, consisting of Neilson, combat specialist Doug Marcaida, and weapon history buff David Baker, praised both sets of axes for their artistry and functionality.
