Hosted by WWE Hall Of Famer Bill Goldberg, the six episode series features fearless competitors as they race against the clock putting their blades and blade-wielding skills through a grueling gauntlet of challenges such as slicing through flying watermelons, hacking through massive ice blocks and severing various types of ropes, tubes, metals and item-filled crates.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Goldberg as co-host is Special Forces veteran, martial artist and edged weapons expert Tu Lam, along with two-time \u201cForged in Fire\u201d champion Travis Wuertz as the sideline blade specialist. In this series, competitors bring their best blades, ranging from America\u2019s historical Bowie knife and a Viking Seax, to a medieval sword and a traditional Japanese Katana. Throughout history, the blade and one\u2019s ability to wield it meant the difference between life and death and in this series, competitors go back to their roots in using these various knives and swords in a way that showcases what they were initially intended for. From competitors utilizing ancient martial arts techniques to excel through the obstacle courses, to hand-forging their blades using historical methods of craftsmanship, \u201cForged in Fire: Knife or Death\u201d stresses the importance of the art of blade wielding as much as it entertains.<\/p>\n<p>In two different timed courses \u2013 \u201cKnife Fight\u201d and the \u201cDead Run\u201d \u2013 each obstacle challenges competitors to test numerous facets of their blades from strength, durability and sharpness to the speed, precision and overall technique of the blade wielder. After all competitors attempt the first course, \u201cKnife Fight,\u201d the top two performers face off in the \u201cDead Run,\u201d an even more rigorous final test of their sharp blades, coordination and minds. The winner of each episode will earn a cash prize and a coveted spot in the season finale where they will compete in the ultimate showdown to be crowned the first ever \u201cForged in Fire: Knife or Death Champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New episodes of HISTORY\u2019s hit competition series \u201cForged in Fire\u201d airs Tuesdays at 9PM ET\/PT and features world-class bladesmiths competing to create history\u2019s most iconic edged weapons.
