A new competition show called Forged in Fire startstonight on the cable channel History.

Contestants will be challenged to make swords and knives, including period-specific weapons like medieval broadswords or ancient throwing blades.

One of the four contestants is Adam Ison, a Detroit blacksmith, bladesmith, metal artist and welder. He's the owner of Forge Detroit.

About the show Ison said, "it's a lot of emotions, a lot of ups and downs, and you just got to make it work with the skills you got."

Our interview with Adam Ison.

Forged in Fire premieres tonight on History at 10 p.m. EST.
