In this explosive new series, four bladesmiths will compete for $10,000 and the title of Forged in Fire champion.

In the final round, the two remaining bladesmiths must forge one of the most iconic weapons from history; the Japanese Katana. Their swords will be pushed to the absolute limit…the final test will determine which is stronger; their Katanas or a speeding bullet?
