Brits talk about banning knives. Americans have a game show to make knives, swords, axes, etc.
Yeah, in a previous life I was a knifemaker and made the occasional sword and axe. Even made and forged my own ‘Damascus”.... even a few pieces of meteorite damascus. The first few knives I made, with just a file and sandpaper for tools out of scrap steel.. Eventually built myself a coal forge, a forced air propane forge, belt grinders, heat treat oven, etc.
I occasionally thought of getting back into the game and competing on “Forged In Fire”, but I always liked to take my time with my craft, and the $5000 or (later) $10,000 prize wasn’t enough to be enticing.
