About

I'm Jesse Hu, an 8-time Gladiator of the Forge on History's Forged in Fire, and I have the 2nd most wins in the show's history (9-0). This Channel is all about my journey in the world of bladesmithing, where I'll share in-depth videos of my full build process. From raw material to finished blade, you'll witness my triumphs, my bone-headed mistakes, and everything in between. You'll be getting a first-hand look at how I forge, handle, and finish each piece. If you are interested in owning a piece of my work, want to check out my past works, or simply learn more about me, head over to my website https://www.jhublades.com/ For some epic behind-the-scenes content, make sure to follow me on Instagram @jhublades
