Ben and Jesse battle head-to-head in a clash to see who can make the best ancient Xiphos sword. Will they be able to stand the fire and who will triumph? The forge is transformed into a gladiator's arena; in the opening battle, two smiths must forge a fierce Roman era falx; the winning smith takes on a new opponent for the chance to win the most money ever awarded in the forge: $75,000.
