Four bladesmiths enter the forge to compete in an epic Forged in Fire first: the Knife Fight. Arriving with their best blades in hand, competitors will immediately be put to the test and one will be eliminated before the first forge is ever lit. After two of the most grueling forging rounds in Forged in Fire's history, only one will survive the Knife Fight and walk away with $10,000.

In this competition, we pay homage to the cowboys of South America--the Gauchos. Four smiths lasso up their skills to recreate the iconic Gaucho knife. The two smiths who survive an intense round of testing then must gallop home to forge the ornate Argentinian Saber. After another brutal round of testing, only one smith will round up the competition with a bounty of $10,000 and the title of Forged in Fire Champion.
