Outline

Event 01: Falx (using twisted Damascus).
Event 02: Spatha (using a Go Mai technique).

In honour of History’s Colosseum series, the forge room is modified to mimic a “Roman gladiator arena”. Two bladesmiths go head-to-head in a blade construction competition in ten events over the course of five episodes. The winner of an 8-hour smithing event has the option to continue to the next. As a competitor wins and chooses to advance through events, prize winnings increase up to a total value of $75,000.
