In one of the most unique first rounds in Forged in Fire history, four bladesmiths must giddy-up to finish their blade first and become the fastest blade in the West. After a wild round of testing, the two remaining smiths return to their home forges to lasso up an iconic weapon of the American Frontier — the Vaquero Machete. They then must survive one final standoff to win the reward of $10,000 and the title of Forged in Fire Champion.
