List of Forged in Fire episodes

Forged in Fire is an American reality television competition series that has aired on the History channel since its season one premiere episode on June 22, 2015 and is produced by Outpost Entertainment.

The program places four competitors in three elimination rounds to forge bladed weapons. Each weapon is tested and evaluated by a panel of three (sometimes four) judges. As the host for seasons one through seven, Wil Willis introduced the parameters for each episode. Grady Powell replaced Willis for season eight onward. The main judges include Historic Weapons Re-creation Specialist David Baker, Edged Weapon Specialist Doug Marcaida, American Bladesmith Society (ABS) Master Bladesmith James Neilson, and two-time Forged in Fire champion Ben Abbott.[1]

Neilson missed most of season three due to hand surgery. ABS Master Bladesmith Jason Knight filled in for him from episode three of that season through episode seven of season four.[1] Neilson briefly returned for the first episode of season four (a special with Knight, Baker, and Marcaida) before returning for good in episode eight until Abbott took over for the final three episodes. Since then, Neilson and Abbott have shared judging duties into season eight. Also during season four, Marcaida injured his right rotator cuff while testing a weapon.[2] Marcaida's younger brother RJ and Kali students filled in for weapons testing while he recovered from the injury.[3]

The episode pays tribute to some of the most iconic terrifying horror scenes in cinematic history. In round 1, four bladesmiths are tasked in constructing weapons from metal items hanging on a "Wall of Torture" tools. In round 2, the remaining three smiths make handles from wooden tools found inside vampire hunting kits. A notable test for round three's fireman's axe was the "Horror Door Chop" strength test. The axes are used to chop through a door with "FORGED" written backwards in red along the central door frame rail. Both the axe chop and the backwards red lettering are references to the 1980 film The Shining.

The smiths go through the "Pick of the Barrel" Challenge: a barrel with five different sources of mild steel (chains, pry bars, hammers, railroad spikes and horseshoes) attached to iron poles sticking out of the barrel. But what they can't see is what's actually inside the barrel. Attached to the poles are five different high-carbon steel which they have to make a blade out of. The easier the mild steel pick, the harder the high-carbon steel will be to use, and vice versa.

Eight military veterans who competed in The Forge are brought back for this season's Armed Forces Redeployment Tournament. This time, some of the best bladesmiths and toughest American warriors battle it out in four head-to-head duels. Eight former competitors and U.S. service members will be redeployed to The Forge, building a blade from start to finish in one five-hour round. During the duels, the bladesmiths pick 1 out of 5 different knife handles that are sticking out of an ammo crate. Attached to those handles are five unique blades from U.S. military history that the competitors must copy. The winner of each duel will take home a check for $2,000 and earn themselves a seat in the final battle of the tournament where they will face tough competition for a chance of winning $10,000 and the ever-coveted title of "Forged in Fire Champion".

Rounds 1 and 2 are merged into one 5-hour fabricating round, the "Impress Us Challenge", which includes both metal forging and handle crafting. The contestants are able to use any metal composition (e.g. 15N20, 5160, 1095) from any source (e.g. bars, cables, coil springs) they choose to make their signature blade with any technique they desire. Anything found in the handle "pantry" is open to the smith's taking as well. The bladesmith that impresses the judges most at the end of the "Impress Us Challenge" is automatically eligible for the final round while the other three blades undergo testing. After testing, one smith will move on to the final round, with the other two contestants going home in a double elimination. Brandon's chopper-type blade impressed the judges most. Grant wins the testing sequence as both Chris and Evan are eliminated.

January 5, 2022 (2022-01-05)0.72[200]

In honor and celebration of the show's fans and its 200th competition milestone, four bladesmiths fabricate weapons from fans' votes on various aspects of Forged in Fire—blade type and design, materials, forging techniques, challenges, and tests.

  • Round 1: The contestants must craft a kukri, which was decided by the fans' high 41% vote. Non-winning weapon options included a karambit and tomahawk. The kukri unveiled and showcased for the round was handcrafted by the season 1, episode 1 champion, Matthew Parkinson. Fans also voted 69% for a 200-layer Damascus. ("Salvaging steel from a dump truck" and "salvaging steel from heavy machinery & equipment" were the other material options.) Since Jimmy and Chris each forge exactly 200-layer Damascus blades per the fans' vote-winning parameter, both smiths get 30 minutes added to their times for Round 2.
  • Round 2: Utilizing the 200th episode theme, fans voted 50% for a 3-pin mosaic with the numbers 2-0-0 within the 3 pins, respectively, and designed into their handles. The non-winning challenges were "Etch '200' into blade" and "Salvage material from strength tests". In the testing portion of the round, fans voted 38% for the "Ice Block Chop" strength test. A "Rope Slice" with flaming rope was requested for the sharpness test.
  • Round 3: Bladesmiths are tasked with crafting a Darb Sri Gun Chai (45% fan vote) in 4 days. Other choices included the spadroon and hunga munga. In honor of the "KEAL" test, two of the judges' favorite ballistic gel dummies—Medusa and Dummy of the North—are slashed and beheaded. Next, a strength test incorporated the fan favorite "Skull Chop" with 6 animal skulls. Last, but not least, the blades were evaluated against a "Multiple Target Slice" sharpness test consisting of ballistics tubes, sand-filled tubes, watermelons, and plastic water-filled jugs.

As the second competition within the "Beat the Unbeaten" Ben Abbott series, this episode showcases a new set of three bladesmiths tasked with building their signature blades in a 5-hour round. Some of the special parameters for the round include: materials must be sourced from the pile of scrap steel, any forge welding technique can be used, blades cannot be mono steel, 13- to 15-inch length, fully functional, and ready for testing after 5 hours. Zechariah does not meet the forge welded blade parameter as he only forge welds a bolster to his otherwise mono steel blade. Therefore, Zechariah is eliminated before testing begins. Jeremy is eliminated after testing, sending Rob into the final round against Ben Abbott. As the winner, Rob gets to pick the weapon style he and Ben craft, as well as the parameters. He chooses the Irish ring-hilted sword with ladder pattern Damascus.

In another "Beat the Unbeaten" challenge, three contestants (each with broken blades in previous episodes) build their signature blades in a single 5-hour round, using bandsaw blades, chainsaw blades, springs, ball bearings, and roller bearings. The blades are to be made from canister "No Can Can" Damascus in which the canister must be fully removed before the blade is finalized. Dorian does not fully remove the canister and is eliminated before testing; Chris is eliminated after testing; Caleb is the winner of the testing round. For the 8-hour final round against Ben Abbott, Caleb chooses the 2-handed Chinese warsword with an S-shaped guard and a pierced pommel, among other parameters. Caleb also chooses a random pattern Damascus steel forging technique. Since its Caleb's second appearance on the show, Ben gets to add a parameter twist: a minimum of 125 Damascus layer count.

Two bladesmiths from season 2 (both competing alongside Ben Abbott on Abbott's first appearance as a competitor) are invited back to try their luck at winning against Ben Abbott. The smiths are tasked with forging their signature blades in a single 5-hour round. The techniques each must use is randomly spun on the "Wheel of Forging". Brent lands the "Choose your own pattern Damascus" and picks the "twisted crushed W's" technique. Nathan lands "Raindrop pattern Damascus". In the testing portion, both blades break upon their first impacts. Brent's blade breaks at about mid-blade while Nathan's blade breaks at the handle. Since there is more useable blade left on his blade, Brent wins the round and competes against Abbott. As the winner, Brent chooses to recreate the Ida sword for the 8-hour final round. He also chooses the technique for the round—forged from stacks of 1095 and 15N20 steel, along with wrought iron chains, in a Damascus san mai. Abbott increases the difficulty by suggesting nickel be added, which tasks both smiths with Damascus go mai.

Judges: J. Neilson, David Baker, Doug Marcaida

Smiths have to make a Continental rifleman's knife to match a given replica sample. Each smith has to choose from eight identical knapsacks of the kind that soldiers typically carried during the Revolutionary war. They do not know what is inside. Each knapsack contains a paper outlining the technique they must use for forging, with a selection of suitable steels. If they think what they have is too hard to do in the allotted time, they can choose a second knapsack, but are not allowed to return to their first choice, if the second also proves too difficult.

In the second round, they have to fit their blades with a scroll guard and a handle with a hidden tang construction.

In the last round, the two finalists have to make a Continental cavalry saber, that was based on an original British Army pattern, with a pierced stirrup guard and flattened pommel.

In a 2020 home quarantine special filler episode, two months are taken up with the three bladesmith judges while they are at home. Each judge forges a blade over a fortnight at his home forge and tests the finished product himself, all the while being his own camera crew (which J. Neilson's wife, Beckie, complains about). Ben Abbott forges a replica Sutton Hoo pattern-welded sword, supposedly belonging to King Raedwald. J. Neilson forges a competition chopper with both canister Damascus and san mai techniques. David Baker makes a basket-hilted sword with a Damascus steel blade and a historical recreation of a 12-piece decorated basket.
