Ep 21. Astronaut Knife

In Forged in Fire season 6 episode 21, titled "Astronaut Knife," four blacksmiths are tasked with creating a unique knife inspired by outer space. With only three hours to complete the blade, contestants must work quickly and efficiently to meet the rigorous standards of the judges.

The first challenge involves creating a Damascus steel billet that features a pattern reminiscent of a celestial body. Judges J. Neilson, David Baker, and Ben Abbott are impressed with the quality of the blades, but the contestants must go on to complete the next stage of the competition.

Next, the blacksmiths must create a handle for their blade that incorporates materials used in space travel. This proves to be a difficult challenge, as each contestant struggles to incorporate elements such as carbon fiber and titanium into their design. Despite the pressure, the blacksmiths manage to create stunning handles that balance aesthetics and functionality.

As the competition comes to a close, the contestants present their blades to the judges for final testing. Each blade is subjected to rigorous tests that measure its sharpness, durability, and performance. Contestants are given just one chance to perform, and each one must prove they have created a blade worthy of the title of Forged in Fire champion.

In the end, only one blacksmith can be crowned the winner, and the competition is as fierce as ever. Will the contestants rise to the challenge and craft a blade that is out of this world? Tune in to find out in Forged in Fire season 6 episode 21, "Astronaut Knife."
