Forged in Fire: Beat the Judges

Three champions face off against each other before one survives to compete against a judge. They are tasked with making a short sword with just eight hours on the clock.

The best bladesmiths from all over the US come to the forge for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to square off against the renowned Forged in Fire Masters in the highest stakes forging competition yet!

Three competitors have their signature blades tested before recreating a medieval knight's dagger. With only eight hours on the clock, the remaining champion will see if they can recreate an arming sword worthy of beating a judge.

The champions recreate a weapon from the vault, with the last one standing tasked with forging two fighting knives in an epic eight-hour challenge.

In a choose-your-own-adventure-style competition, the champions decide their tests, materials and ultimately the judge they will be competing against.

Three champions return for an opportunity to take down a judge. After a grueling round of testing, two move forward to recreate a falcata, then one champion has just eight hours to forge a short sword using the canister method.

In this musically themed competition, the smiths have to slash through level one to have a chance to rock out a nine-ringed broadsword in their home forges. The winner faces a melting showdown with one of the judges.
