In this episode of Forged in Fire: Cutting Deeper, it's Judges' Picks Night, and the contestants are in for a challenge. Each blacksmith is tasked with creating a blade of their choosing, but with a twist - they must incorporate a specific design element chosen by one of the show's judges.
First up is judge J. Neilson, who has chosen a unique twist pattern for the contestants to incorporate into their blades. The four blacksmiths work diligently in their forges, with the clock ticking down as they strive to create a blade that will impress the judges.
Next, it's judge David Baker's turn to pick a design element. He chooses a specific type of handle, which will challenge the contestants in terms of both form and function. As the blacksmiths work away, sparks flying from their forges, it becomes clear that some are struggling to fuse the handle and blade together.
Judge Doug Marcaida's pick comes next, and he chooses a specific type of grind for the contestants to incorporate into their blades. With some of the blacksmiths still struggling to perfect their handles, Doug's challenge poses an additional hurdle for them to overcome.
Finally, it's judge Ben Abbott's turn to choose a design element, and his pick is a unique quillion - a curved guard that protects the hand during combat. With the clock ticking down, the contestants work quickly to incorporate Ben's challenging element into their blades, hoping to impress the judges and earn their way into the next round.
Once the blades are complete, the judges scrutinize each one, analyzing their shape, balance, and overall functionality. Finally, they select the top two blades to move on to the next round, where the contestants will be challenged to recreate a notorious weapon from history.
In the end, only one blacksmith will emerge victorious, earning the coveted title of Forged in Fire champion. Tune in to this exciting episode of Forged in Fire: Cutting Deeper to see which of these talented blacksmiths will come out on top.
