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]

209 | 14 | "Beat the Unbeaten: The Final Showdown" | Signature blade (using fish hook canister Damascus) | Spatha sword (featured in season 7) | February 2, 2022 | 0.73[204] | |
In the fifth and final installment of the "Beat the Unbeaten" series, two bladesmiths (both with previous appearances on the show) compete by forging signature blades. The winner of the single 5-hour round gets to decide the final round's blade style and technique. After testing, Zach (Doug's pick) is sent home while Nicholas (Dave's pick) moves on to challenge Ben Abbott in the final round. Nicholas chooses the Spatha sword, using 1095 and 15N20 steel in a twist-and-stack Damascus technique. Since it's Nicholas's second chance, Abbott gets to add a parameter—two twists for a total of 4 stacks of opposing twist-and-stack Damascus. Results: 1. Ben Abbott 2. Nicholas Cochiolo (S5 E31 & S5 E34) (Dave's pick) 3. Zach Tarbell (S8 E2) (Doug's pick) 4. N/A |

SP1 | Special–1 | "Judges' Home Forge Battle" | N/A | N/A | December 30, 2020 | 0.90[205] | |
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. |
