Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 20h15
Genre: Reality Competition
Swords may not be the weapon of choice for many people nowadays, with more advanced weaponry readily available, but that doesn't stop some from continuing to work as bladesmiths.
Forged in Fire tests some of the best in the field as they attempt to re-create some of history's most iconic edged weapons.
Former Army Ranger Wil Willis hosts the competition series that sees four master bladesmiths challenged in each episode to forge the swords, which are then tested by a panel of judges consisting of J. Neilson, who has been making knives for more than 20 years; hand-to-hand combat specialist Doug Marcaida; and David Baker, an authority on replicating period-accurate weaponry.
The contestant who survives the elimination rounds and wins the episode's contest earns a cash prize and the title of Forged in Fire champion.
In the Season 6 premiere, "Long Road to Redemption Part 1": In this first half of a two-part Road to Redemption competition, seven past competitors who fell short return to the forge for a second chance at glory and redemption.
But these smiths aren't merely trying to beat one another: for the first time ever, they'll have to create four different weapons and survive four rounds of testing in order to earn the title and a $20,000 prize.
The bladesmiths begin outside using the dreaded coal forge. Many battle burnt metal, and one competitor will never even make it into the Forge.
After a round of testing, five smiths return to their home forges to create a perfect competition chopper.
Which four will produce blades that perform and keep their quest of becoming a Forged in Fire Champion alive?
