Here in the forge, bladesmiths have built deadly weapons from around the world, but in this special competition, four smiths are challenged to make something from one of the strangest places around--the mind of J Neilson. All aspects of the challenge and all the tests have been hand-picked by J himself, and you better believe he did not take it easy on these competitors. The two surviving bladesmiths then return home to recreate another weapon hand selected by J--the Maguindanao Kris. Which smith can conquer J's brutal challenges and prove themselves worthy of the $10,000 prize and title of Forged in Fire Champion?
