#Forged in fire season 7 series#
Hosted by Wil Willis, a former Army Ranger and Air Force para-rescue specialist, the competition series pits master weaponsmiths against each other to re-create iconic weapons that will be tested and evaluated by a panel of judges.Ĭompetitors will re-create weapons from historical periods ranging from Japanese katanas to medieval broadswords to ancient throwing blades. World-class bladesmiths re-create historical edged weapons in a cutthroat competition.
After being ranked from first to last, all three enter the final event at their home forges, where they must choose to recreate one of four historical weapons, ranging in level of difficulty and point value. However, the challenges are far from over as they must forge the Greek Xiphos Sword, from start to finish, in one round. In the second half of the Forged in Fire Summer Games, three smiths remain, eager to win the Damascus metal and $15,000.
