In the third episode of a five-part event, it's back to the Forged in Fire Colosseum for two more intense one-on-one battles. The defending champion has taken down two opponents, including a two-time Gladiator of the Forge. Now our champions sights are set on a new challenger and a new weapon, a Gladiator favorite - the deadly Sica. Who will emerge victorious from the Forged in Fire Colosseum and who will go down in defeat?
World-class bladesmiths re-create historical edged weapons in a cutthroat competition.
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.
Competitors will re-create weapons from historical periods ranging from Japanese katanas to medieval broadswords to ancient throwing blades. Each entry will be judged on its artistry as well as its functionality and accuracy. The panel will consist of Willis, knife and sword expert J. Neilson, combat specialist Doug Marcaida and weapon history buff David Baker.
