Last week, in ‘Forged in Fire’ season 8’s 3rd episode, we had met four talented bladesmiths (Walter Baranowski, Bryan Dana Custance, Paul DeStefano, and Evan Seahawk) as they try their best to make the signature blade — using suspension cable or piano wire. The final round tasks them with making the intricate Sword of Saladin. The winner is Walter, who takes home the cash prize of $10,000 while being crowned as the champion for week three.
The 4th episode, which landed this week, is titled ‘M1905 Springfield Bayonet’, where four new bladesmiths need to carve the titular weapon. More on that later. Now, the series is geared up to release its next episode. And here is everything you need to know about it.

Forged in Fire Season 8 Episode 4 Recap
The 4th episode is called ‘M1905 Springfield Bayonet’, which revolves around the 1905 bayonet, which was created for the U.S. M1903 Springfield rifle. In 1917, the name was altered to Model 1905, and then in 1925, it was changed to M1905. This 16-inch steel blade comes with a 4-inch handle, embedded with wooden or plastic grips.
In the episode, we meet a fresh batch of four new smiths, who are required to use their math skills to calculate the exact quantity of steel needed to create their signature blades. Following a couple of grueling rounds, two of the top-performing smiths go back home to build the intricate M1905 Springfield Bayonet. So, who won this week’s episode?
