I don't know that much about Forged in Fire, but I think I remember reading that the format was a bit weird and not always standardized in the first few seasons. It's possible they just hadn't determined that there always should be a kill test in Season 3. Now that I think about it, the kill test guy didn't show up at all in this video. Maybe something was going on with him, or he wasn't a full-time member of the crew.

      Bronze forging is another beast all together, and it might not be knowledge a steel smith might have.
      That said, I do remember one contestant using a method to yellow some details on their blade, so it would be cool to see them treat the blade to look bronzed.
