In a Forged in Fire first, three bladesmiths head to historic Mystic Seaport for a nautical themed competition. After a grueling round of coal forging, two travel back to their home forges to recreate another vital maritime tool: the Flensing Knife. Which bladesmith will sail away with $10,000 and the title of Forged in Fire champion?

In the second episode of a five-part event, it's back to the Forged in Fire Gladiator's Arena for two more ferocious one-on-one battles. Our current champion won two rounds and has a chance to win the greatest prize ever awarded in the Forge: $75,000. In the first battle, the defending smith seeks to retain his title by building a Gladiator favorite: the Kopis. After a brutal bout of testing, the winner advances to another battle and a brand new challenger. Will our reigning champ keep his title or will a new smith take him down? The battles rage on.
