Knife or Death
Knife or Death (officially Forged in Fire: Knife or Death) is an American competition series that airs on the History channel. It is a spinoff from the successful Forged in Fire television series.
The show is hosted by previous NFL player and WCW/WWE professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, and co-host Tu Lam, a former US Army Special Forces Soldier, martial artist and edged weapons expert. Two-time Forged in Fire champion Travis Wuertz assists as the show's blade inspection specialist.
On each episode, eight contestants compete through two rounds, using edged weapons that they have either forged themselves or had fabricated to their specifications. They must submit their weapons to a preliminary examination by Wuertz and can be immediately disqualified in case of a safety issue or failure. The contestant who finishes the second-round course in the shorter time advances to the season finale, with a $20,000 cash prize at stake.
Knife or Death premiered April 17, 2018 on History and is produced by Outpost Entertainment.
The contestants in each episode run two obstacle courses individually. A 25-second penalty is added to a contestant's time if they do not complete an obstacle properly, and a catastrophic weapon failure (defined as damage that renders a weapon unsafe or ineffective for further use) results in disqualification.
The first round, "Knife Fight", is a course that tests the quality of the contestants' weapons and their ability to strike stationary targets. The two who either finish the course or move the furthest along it in the shortest time advance to the second round. The course consists of five obstacles:
The second round, "Dead Run", is a course intended to test the two remaining contestants' speed, timing, accuracy, and precision in wielding their blades against both stationary and moving targets. The contestant who finishes the course in the shorter time advances to the season finale. This course consists of six obstacles:
In the season finale, the five episode winners and the runner-up with the fastest time in Dead Run compete for the $20,000 prize. All targets are thicker and/or made of tougher materials, with the following specific changes:
