The competition heats up as the contestants must use ancient techniques to create a blade that both honors the original design and has the durability and functionality to perform in combat.

With just three days to complete their swords, the bladesmiths work tirelessly to forge, shape, and sharpen their blades to perfection. They are under the careful watch of the judges, who assess their skill and craftsmanship with each step of the process. Through excessive heat, improvising when things go wrong and long hours of concentration, they aim to create the ultimate weapon.

The blades are tested for strength, sharpness, and durability, and the judges get to see which contestant has created the blade that truly embodies the spirit of the Roman sword.

The episode builds up the suspense as the bladesmiths face challenges and unexpected twists that put their skills and patience to the test. However, it's ultimately up to the judges to decide who gets to take home the title of the Forged in Fire champion and the $10,000 prize.
