Fire Forged: Local Blacksmith wins History Channel's 'Forged in Fire'
NEWLAND — A traditional weapon amongst the Gurkha people of Western Nepal, Kora swords have a long history of use in both ceremony and battle. Whether cutting through the flesh of a ritual sacrifice or slashing at a foe on the battlefield, the Kora sword’s heavy, curved blade is made to deliver powerful chops capable of cutting through the toughest of materials.
This was the fearsome weapon that local blacksmith and Avery County native Liam Hoffman recently forged to earn first place and a $10,000 prize on a recently aired episode of the History Channel’s “Forged in Fire” series.
