Forged in Fire: Knife or Death is a spinoff of the reality competition series Forged in Fire where the nation's top bladesmiths, martial artist and knife experts slice, stab and chop their way through some of the most daunting obstacle courses ever seen.
Premise[]
The six episode spinoff features fearless competitors as they race against the clock by putting their blades and blade-wielding skills through a grueling gauntlet of challenges such as slicing through flying watermelons, hacking through massive ice blocks and severing various types of ropes, tubes, metals and item-filled crates. In this series, competitors bring their best blades, ranging from America's historical Bowie Knife and a Viking Seax to a medieval sword and a traditional Japanese Katana. In two different times courses "Knife Fight" and the "Dead Run" each obstacle challenges competitors to test numerous facets of their blades from strength, durability and sharpness to the speed, precision and overall technique of the blade wielder. After all two performers face off in the "Dead Run" an even more rigorous final test of their sharp blades, coordination and minds. The winner of each episode will earn a cash prize along with a coveted spot in the season finale where they will compete in the ultimate showdown in order to be crowned the first ever "Forged in Fire: Knife or Death" Champion.
Trivia[]
The title is a play-on-play term of the word "Life or Death".
