Our own Chartered Organization Representative, Jeff Renner, is a contestant on The History Channel’s “Forged in Fire” original competition series that will air on Tuesday, October 31, at 9 pm. Although we don’t know much about Mr. Renner’s experience, the promo for the show stated it was a Viking-themed competition.
Forged in Fire is hosted by weapons expert and U.S. Army and Air Force veteran Wil Willis and features world-class bladesmiths competing to create history’s most iconic edged weapons. In each episode, four of the nation’s finest bladesmiths come together to put their skill and reputations on the line, trying to avoid elimination and win the $10,000 prize. They use sweat, fire, force of will, and a well-equipped forge to turn raw material into authentic, fully functional implements of war. These weapons must stand up to a battery of strength and sharpness tests, as well as the critical assessment of expert judges.
