Beat the Unbeaten: Round One Summary

Competitor turned Judge Ben Abbott remains undefeated in the forge, but soon that could all change. In the first part of a five-episode challenge, three smiths go head-to-head-to-head in a single 5-hour round. Their blades will then be put through an intense round of testing where only one will earn the opportunity to face off against Ben Abbott. Then after a grueling 8-hour forging round and another brutal round of tests, the judges will decide if this smith has what it takes to beat Ben to win $10,000 or if Ben remains unbeaten.
