‘Forged in Fire’ dropped its eighth season on Wednesday, November 18, 2020. Since its original premiere in 2015, the show has followed skilled bladesmiths as they create bladed weapons. Throughout its run, we have seen artists forging impeccable masterpieces as well as failing with disastrous results. The new season marks the return of J. Neilson, David Baker, Doug Marcaida, and Ben Abbott as the main judges.

Now, the series is geared up to release its next episode. And here is everything you need to know about it.
