Finally, in the last round of the competition, the remaining smiths must put their creations to the test by engaging in a series of intense challenges. These challenges are designed to test the toughness, sharpness, and functionality of the blades. The smiths must chop, slice, and pierce through various materials, including ropes, ice blocks, and pig carcasses.

At the end of the episode, only one smith will be crowned the champion and awarded the grand prize. Each smith brings their unique skill set and creativity to the competition, making it an exciting and thrilling episode for fans of the show. With high stakes and intense challenges, "Tournament Round 2" is a must-watch for Forged in Fire fans.
