Four bladesmiths go back to basics when they’re tasked with creating a signature Damascus blade out of three different steels of different thicknesses. In the first round, welding problems arise, and a parameter failure sends one smith packing. After a grueling round of tests, the two final competitors return home to recreate one of the most intricate weapons in Forged in Fire history: the Steel Crossbow. But only one smith can hit this challenge in the bullseye to earn $10,000 and the title of Forged in Fire Champion.
