Ep 31. Tournament Round 1

In Forged in Fire season 5 episode 31, titled "Tournament Round 1," the competition heats up as four former champions return to compete in a tournament-style competition. The first round sees two pairs of competitors going head-to-head to create a legendary weapon: the Viking sword.

Each team consists of two former champions who must work together to create a blade that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional in combat. The competition is fierce as they go through the process of forging the blade, quenching it in oil, and then painstakingly grinding and polishing it to a razor-sharp edge.

The judges, J. Neilson, David Baker, and Doug Marcaida, scrutinize every detail of the blades, judging their overall quality, balance, sharpness, and durability. In the end, only one team will advance to the next round, while the other is eliminated from the competition.

As the first round comes to a close, tensions rise as the judges reveal their decision. The winning team is ecstatic, but they know that the competition is far from over. With two more rounds to go, they will need to bring their A-game if they want to be crowned the ultimate champion of Forged in Fire.

Stay tuned for future episodes to see who will come out on top in this intense competition, filled with twists and turns that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Whether you're a fan of blacksmithing, historical weapons, or just love a good competition, Forged in Fire delivers an electrifying experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
