FORGED IN FIRE features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.

　　

　　Forged in Fire is an American reality television competition series that airs on the History channel, and is produced by Outpost Entertainment, a Leftfield Entertainment company.

The series is hosted by Wil Willis, with a three-judge panel consisting of J. Neilson, David Baker, and Doug Marcaida, experts in weapon history and use.

四名刀匠参加比赛的目的是锻造刀片武器，总冠军将获得一万美元。

节目于纽约布鲁克林拍摄。参赛者会在“锻工坊”里进行铸刀，内备各式金属加工器械、丙烷锻造设备、煤锻造设备、动力锤、研磨机、液压机。在每一轮淘汰赛的结束阶段，打造的武器被评为最差的锻造师会被淘汰并离场。现场有医疗人员从旁协助，以便处理任何因为锻造而产生的伤害或其他健康问题，若他们认定某些参赛者无法再安全地参赛，他们也有权让参赛者退赛。在第一回合里，四位匠人会取得他们必须用来打造刀刃的原始材料，一般他们拿到的是事先由节目单位准备好的同样的材料；而某些时候会让他们从各种物品中自行选择材料，或是必须从诸如汽车、除草机或一个废铁堆里等情况中辨别并取出可用的材料。主持人会列出关于刀刃的尺寸标准与特殊限制，而刀匠们则画下他们的草稿。...

　　

　　This show is quite possibly the biggest waste of videotape, electricity, and RF bandwidth in the 70+ year history of television. It's nothing but 60 minutes of some of the worst bile that can come out of human beings, male or female. Basically, it's nothing but pure bitchy, catty, c*nty, vile harpiness among the contestants, judges, and the fashionistas (or should I say fashionazis). Typically a lot of insulting, backbiting, and bitchy, unnecessarily anal-retentive criticism.　　The thing that gets me about the show is how much the judges and fashionazis (and the pretentious & shallow fashion industry in general) nit-pick against the equally bitchy contestants about little, petty, trivial, frivolous, anal-retentive things about their appearance, personality, etc. Things that the *REAL* people in this world (which the fashion industry lacks, thankfully) wouldn't give rat's ass number 1 about. (Myself included.)　　Crap like: "Oh, your left eyebrow is a yoctometer off center. That isn't gonna fly, and nobody will take you seriously in this industry because of it!" Or, "You're breathing wrong. Good luck with winning this competition." I'm just kidding here, but they usually end up saying things almost exactly like this on this show.　　If getting into the fashion industry is this hard, painful, bitchy, insulting, nit-picky, catty, backstabbing, and anal-retentive as this show tries to portray, than thank the good Lord that He made me all fat, balding, hairy, and dumpy-frumpy-dowdy-frowsy-geeky-lookin', because I would never want to be required to have the caustic bitchiness and anal, pretentious attitude of any model or fashionazi (or any fashion industry worker), namely the people on this show.　　And Janice Dickinson, mercy, do not get me started on her...　　This show needs to die. It's this show (and many other "reality" shows like it) that proves that competitiveness (and the fashion industry) is truly the devil's tool...
