The thing I actually like the most about this show is how much the people respect eachother and really wish they competition does well. They have immense respect for eachother
How much work they put into their creations is astounding. Not only it takes huge amount of physical stamina to do this, but also you have to know what you are doing and be dedicated for long hours of work.
However it has a nice difference to it, hasn't it? Realy brings out the lifesaving use of it, something you don't see too often, especially in this show.
Is this dude a meme yet? 7+ seasons of this show would suggest to me, yes, though I don’t know that I’ve come across it on forums etc. “Overall, it will keel” 😂
It's interesting to see a professional giving background about a tool or weapon. Seriously, this is what many asked for it and I'm glad to see they finally listened. I hope they continue this as a tradition.
Fair enough, if you ever find yourself in Southern California, look me up. Some of the best things I’ve learned have been with new folks who ask the “why, when and where” questions. And to be truthful, this work is never ending on the learning potential. Have a good one!
My uncle was an iron worker/bladesmith, when i was his aprentice we got an order of these from the local fire dept. Don't know why they didn't get them from the usual equipment pipeline but they were a fun challenging project for a 15year old aprentice to hammer out
Really? So they can forge garden rakes, hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, saws, drill bits, brackets, not to mention a million other tools used in carpentry and the building industry? Good to know..
gives me a new appreciation for my real halligan bar. getting that 90 bend on the adz head for a clean axe or hammer strike is so difficult, also the forks being just thin enough to hold their shape and not bend when you stand 300lbs of man on one end and jump on it.
Ang Abrams it can make it equally strong. But not too likely. Also if you are comparing to an inferior steel and you are pattern welding a stronger metal to the same weaker metal your welded or Damascus steel can easily be better. However, amalgamated quality steel will almost always be better. Do it for ascetics, not for strength.
@@john-paulsilke893 you pretty much summed it up. Best case scenario when making patterns through forge welding, you finish with a billet as strong as the original metals. But it opens you up to the possibilities of inclusions and other defects that result in a weaker metal overall. So, for the absolute strongest result, mono steel is the safer option simply because you avoid the risks pattern welding carries with it.
Am I the only one who actually liked the Rescue Test? I know we all love the Kill Test, but it was really cool to see something doing the opposite. Also, getting real firefighters to do the tests was an awesome touch.
I love the way they tested these tools. I am a jr firefighter for the state of Kentucky and have gone though Halligan training along with a lot of tests and training. Very good
Just a bit of info from what I know: it is a forceful entry tool, often paired with a axe, which is referred to as a set of irons, it has a fork for prying and a spike for puncturing.
Cheif Hugh Halligan of FDNY built the tool in the 50's based off another design called the kelley tool. Halligan is actually a patented or trademarked name for the original tool. The best ones on the market today are the probars, also built by a retired guy from FDNY. Originally, because of NYC laws/rules about purchasing stuff for the department, FDNY couldnt buy the tool. So, various other departments (Boston, in particular) and individuals from various FDNY Companies would buy them until the City standardized it anyway. When it comes to forcible entry, The Adze end is useful for outward swinging doors, while the forks are more intended for inward (to some extent--there's whole classes dedicated to FE). The pike is useful for a few things-driving carriage bolts through commercial doors, taking tempered windows, etc. The comment about the forks being too thick made me laugh--the commercially available versions mostly tend to have "too thick" forks, and there are companies that specifically "tune" and halligans by thinning the forks, making door jamb markings, cutting in a slot for driving off heads of bolts and manipulating gas shutoffs, etc. The standard 36" bar is also wider than most windows and can be used as a hard point for above-grade bailouts by slinging it across a window or doorframe and using it as a rappelling anchor. It's a helluva tool when used in skillful hands
I'm very impressed at the fact that a former police officer built a tool not even used in his field. I'm sure the firefighters were impressed, as well. I feel bad for the former firefighter...and I'm (sadly) also disappointed. One would think he would've known exactly what was required to make one of the most critical tools in his former field successful due to years of experience working with said tool. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the firefighter was a bad blacksmith, or that he didn't bring his A-game. He obviously brought it, and more. He just should've let previous experience guide him a little bit. Regardless, I'm extremely grateful for both his and the policeman's service, even though neither served in my state. Thank you, gentlemen!
As a former Firefighter, seeing the car "rescue" i was sure Doug would said "Keel", because they would have killed the dummy jajajajja (I know that they were making a show, not a good rescue, but still xDD)
The only thing i know about blades is what i've learned from this show, but even i know that damascus was a bad idea. Don't think firefighters would care about the looks of a tool. Just make it as functional and durable as possible.
@It's Christian With modern steels, damascus is purely for aesthetics. It does in fact make a great blade, but forging something straight from a specialized steel like Tool Steel or Spring Steel will always trump over damascus. It USED to be for making better blades, along with the various methods of Crucible steel, but steel making has come a VERY long way since then. Pure High Carbon steel that has been melted down to remove the impurities that the mixed steel damascus was originally designed to overcome is simply better in the long run. It is still a mark of craftsmanship and skill, make no doubt about that. But the days of it being the BEST steel have passed, with all other elements such as heat treats and tempers being equal.
Several firsts for this one First tool First time they had actual experts for the testing, even if they didn't trust them to talk to camera and contestants First time they didn't have some idiotic strength test, half expected them to run over the thing in a tank.
Ok ....... most people who are here already know Forged in fire, We know what to expect and any newcomers will most probably be hooked after a couple of clips ( these things are never one and done ) So what is with the click bait title?? Nothing bent, broke or shattered. There is no need to lower the brand to a buzzfeed level of attention grabbing. Stay classy guys; it’s what the people enjoy
As a volunteer firefighter, I never did a vehicle rescue. We did use halligans to open up the sides of structures to extinguish fires inside walls and for that application I found that it absolutely stank. I couldn't get any of its parts to penetrate siding or anything; the adze and the pick interfered with each other and both of them interfered with using the claw. Of course, I can see by watching these actual professionals at work that each of us on my old crew were trying to use them as individuals; we might have had more luck if I had a teammate hitting it with an axe instead of trying to ram it into siding with my own strength alone. But since that WAS how we worked, for us a rack of crowbars of various sizes would have been better.

Do yall take suggestions on weapons?

can you guys make "urumi" a iconic weapon from south India?
Please make forge in fire indian compitition
there was a german sword with similar tripointed guard
The thing I actually like the most about this show is how much the people respect eachother and really wish they competition does well. They have immense respect for eachother
not that it will keel part? xD
How much work they put into their creations is astounding. Not only it takes huge amount of physical stamina to do this, but also you have to know what you are doing and be dedicated for long hours of work.
At the end of the day, they're just big nerds who love their craft.
well probably cause it takes a fuckton of work to make this kinda stuff
This subject, isn't respectful, the wrong language.
...I'm disturbed by lack of kill.
*keel😁
Same bro
Some could construe the "It weel rescue" as the rarest form of keel
Opposite day :o
Same here
“it will rescue” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
"It will save" would be muchhhhh better.
It weel*
It will keel"i mean rescue😉
However it has a nice difference to it, hasn't it? Realy brings out the lifesaving use of it, something you don't see too often, especially in this show.
It weel not keel
"Overall Sir, it will reskueel"
It will resssscuuuuuu
"Overall, It will re kill"
kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Is this dude a meme yet? 7+ seasons of this show would suggest to me, yes, though I don’t know that I’ve come across it on forums etc.
“Overall, it will keel” 😂
😂😂😂😂 rescueeeell😂😂😂😂
It's interesting to see a professional giving background about a tool or weapon. Seriously, this is what many asked for it and I'm glad to see they finally listened. I hope they continue this as a tradition.
host: so here is a guy to tell you more about this tool
guy: yeah we use it
Travels hundred of miles just to say that for couple of seconds
I was waiting for him to demonstrate how to use it 😂
@@totersqwerty5924 i mean a halligan tool isnt rocket science , its just a big crowbar with added functions
@@amagimofumofu6549 easy to say if you know what one is.
Yeah he's right on what he said
i love watching this , no drama .. pure skills and respect to the blacksmiths
This was a great episode. They should find more rescue tools or tools in general and have the contestants make those
Yeah, it was actually refreshing to watch.
They found a tool......
unfortunately they let him write a
click bait title for this clip.
Hope they lose him again
Firefighter Axe ._.
Doug: "this halligan will kill."
Contestants: ....
Doug: laughs maniacally in firfighter gear
O_o
Read the 2nd & 3rd books of the Black Tide Rising book series by John Ringo.
Cruise ship zombie clearing in bunker gear with a Halligan tool.
TF2 pyro be like
This halligan will *keeeel*
No kill😭
As a firefighter this has gotta be my favorite episode ever
"and here is the chief to tell you about it"
Chief: *"ye its important"*
😂 I was able to hear the accent in that ye
I know, right?! All that buildup for about 5 seconds of history.
This is the most essential tool for the firefighters.
Doug: But will it KEEL? Or will it rescue?
It weel reescuee!
Aidar Iraliyev it‘ll kill if it needs to
It wheel reskeel!
Supposedly KEAL is an acronym for "Keep Everyone ALive", so he could still say, "Your halligan bar? It will KEAL!"
Imagine that the bar wont pass the rescue test so it will KEEL!😂
r/technicallythetruth
Imagine if Doug messed up after they tested the Halligan Bars
It will keel- *I mean rescue.*
I would've liked to see the outtakes.
Thank you to our first responders 🙏🏽
If the bar didn't rescue
Doug: "et will keel"
Anyone else triggered that nothing was “SHATTERED”?
For some reason I read the title as "Halligan bar shattered" and was certain a bar was going to snap. Probably the half and half quench one, but nope.
Well I mean the widows on the cars were shattered but still was hoping for one of the tools to shatter.
I definitely expected something to break. Especially on the one that was quenched half and half.
Clickbait
after that second quench too! Theres me like thats gonna break FO SHO!
I’m actually pretty happy to see more than just blades, adds Somethin new to it.
was not expecting a rescue tool as the forging goal
Honestly, if firefighters couldn't break it, the forging was done well, even if the design was a bit off.
well they haven't really tried, there are so many things you can do with a halligan...
Too funny, very true though! Lol
I love this show. Never stop learning my friends
Fair enough, if you ever find yourself in Southern California, look me up.
Some of the best things I’ve learned have been with new folks who ask the “why, when and where” questions.
And to be truthful, this work is never ending on the learning potential.
Have a good one!
Was excited to hear "damascus" even at a tool
It's actually interesting to hear Doug "It will rescue"
And the Fire Chief says "That's my car... Hey!"
Doug: "Chief, your car is keeled."
Really like the change of forging a tool like this. Really like seeing forging happen for a new purpose
My uncle was an iron worker/bladesmith, when i was his aprentice we got an order of these from the local fire dept. Don't know why they didn't get them from the usual equipment pipeline but they were a fun challenging project for a 15year old aprentice to hammer out
Cool
It looks so different when you order it at the restaurant. Truly a powerful beauty of the ocean seas.
i cant imagine doug in clothes that arent black
You should see his Instagram XD
@@FishForged what his instgram name?
Can you imagine his normal dry cleaning bill? Lol.
I can't imagine black in Doug that aren't clothes.
I'd love to see him slicing the ballistic dummies in a white shirt.
The fact that making this tool is in fact not as hard to make as the swords and stuff makes it even harder to excell. Good luck guys
@Mi p it's easy to make a good one, so it's hard to make one that's noticeably better than the other one
Makes me want to go out and buy a halligan bar. Those things look pretty dang useful.
only if you are a firefighter. They are fricking expensive and outside a firefighting situation, they are pretty useless.
@@Schulzffw That’s completely untrue.
@@TheTrueNorth11 care to elaborate on that?
@@Schulzffw They're great for demolition work. They're like crow bars with extra features.
"Well we didn't get dressed for nothin" 😂😂😂 Braveheart!
After all, blacksmiths forge anything that is related to metal, which isn't only weapons.
But basically anything they make can be used as weapons.
Really? So they can forge garden rakes, hammers, chisels, screwdrivers, saws, drill bits, brackets, not to mention a million other tools used in carpentry and the building industry? Good to know..
I thought this was for bladesmiths
@@bubblemonkeys You can use as a weapon even your whole body.
The Halligan Bar! Come see it at work in “Halloween Kills!” Coming to theaters October 15th! Lol.
" your halligan bar will keeeeeeel"
truly one of the best shows on youtube......thanks for the eye candy and alot of fun!
Imagine someone providing a weapon so bad to the kill test that doug says "it will rescue"
When the adze end is flat like it is on both of those it makes it hard to breach an outward swinging door, a door that swings towards you.
Imagine that bar didn't do well in the car and the person inside of it died..
Doug: It will KILL😂
"It will kill, but for all the wrong reasons!"
gives me a new appreciation for my real halligan bar. getting that 90 bend on the adz head for a clean axe or hammer strike is so difficult, also the forks being just thin enough to hold their shape and not bend when you stand 300lbs of man on one end and jump on it.
When I saw the reveal of the weapon I was like WTF is this HAHAHAHA
It's so perfect as a final test though, because the shape of the Halligan Tool is actually really awkward to hammer out and forge.
Michael Meyers Is Happy
As a firefighter, I want the Forrest damascus halligan. Because there is no reward for service like looking amazing.
Thanks, I tried.
Him: "My plan...is to forge weld a damascus billet. Not only will that add strength..."
Other smiths: "Well yes, but actually no."
I haven’t been able to break it yet.
@@hansenforge942 I didn't say it wouldn't be a strong piece. I said making it from a forge welded billet doesn't make it stronger.
Ang Abrams it can make it equally strong. But not too likely.

Nice job.. From kill to rescue

First forged in fire I've ever seen someone in CA
They should do one where they have them forge the Pulaski Axe, the tool the wildlands fire fighters use.
imagine coming on this show hoping to make a sword and instead they tell you to make a fancy crow bar.
Exactly.
Fancy crow bar?
You have insulted my favorite forcible entry tool. lol.
Well done Brett, well done Forest
Shaq'wan P. Cripz, thank you Sir!
That's Doug "it weel rescuee" doppelganger.
Never seen one of these tools before. What an awesome bit of kit!
Pov you just watched Halloween kills
This is class folks. You lose? Walk out with your head held high, don't disparage the others. Don't get all offended and start projecting.
Thank you!
And the good news is "it will keeee...hold on"
Am I the only one who actually liked the Rescue Test? I know we all love the Kill Test, but it was really cool to see something doing the opposite. Also, getting real firefighters to do the tests was an awesome touch.
If one of the bars breaks, Doug should say “it will KEEL”
..love this episode, so unique, so different..
Imagine going on the show that has had axes,swords,dagers... and you have to make a crow bar
Similar thing
You can’t even know the disappointment when I saw I had to make a halligan.
@@hansenforge942 you fr fr-
dont forget in cod modern warfare captain price uses a halligan as a weapon
@@hansenforge942 what ep??
I love the way they tested these tools. I am a jr firefighter for the state of Kentucky and have gone though Halligan training along with a lot of tests and training. Very good
It bothered me that A.) they swang it like a bat and B.) they shattered the window. They shouldve controlled their tool more
0:40
I wanted to hear more about it :(
Just a bit of info from what I know: it is a forceful entry tool, often paired with a axe, which is referred to as a set of irons, it has a fork for prying and a spike for puncturing.
Cheif Hugh Halligan of FDNY built the tool in the 50's based off another design called the kelley tool. Halligan is actually a patented or trademarked name for the original tool. The best ones on the market today are the probars, also built by a retired guy from FDNY. Originally, because of NYC laws/rules about purchasing stuff for the department, FDNY couldnt buy the tool. So, various other departments (Boston, in particular) and individuals from various FDNY Companies would buy them until the City standardized it anyway.

The comment about the forks being too thick made me laugh--the commercially available versions mostly tend to have "too thick" forks, and there are companies that specifically "tune" and halligans by thinning the forks, making door jamb markings, cutting in a slot for driving off heads of bolts and manipulating gas shutoffs, etc. The standard 36" bar is also wider than most windows and can be used as a hard point for above-grade bailouts by slinging it across a window or doorframe and using it as a rappelling anchor.
It's a helluva tool when used in skillful hands
@@Monstermash-wy7ev True!
The latest Halloween film proves that in the hands of Michael Myers, the Halligan will keel.
They need to rename this show to “Forged in Damascus”
Damascus: "I'm trying to show off and hoping the Damascus forging process doesn't leave me with a weaker tool that will fail!"
5:25 he was waiting to use that comment since he saw brave heart. He even used the accent.
Here the expert will tell you why its important.
The expert: it’s really important.
See you in 4 days
"Every second counts" *Firemen just casually walking up the stairs like it's nothing*
its a show dummy
imagine a firefighter rushing up the stairs, tripping and falling back down with 30kg of gear. So slow -> safe. not as slow as here granted, but still
You ever ran up stairs in 80lbs of gear?
In training they always told us walk with purpose. Dont run.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Imagine how hard is for Doug to not say "it will keel"
"Is this enough steel? Yeah" that killed me
Lol. HISTORY channel kinda clickbaited us. "Shattered" as in "won by alot"
I think they were going for “shattered” as in “broke glass windows”
yea i think so
I thought they meant it broke
I'd like to see more stuff like this, not just things that kills, but tools
Imagine if they said “please leave the forge” 😂
Best fif episode ever
Hearing "It will rescue"
Me deep inside: booo
"Your Halligan did not make the cut" 😂😂
This is incomplete without the killing part.
At least if he said "It wil KEEL the tyres...and rescue"
Love the unique spin on the tool
This was really cool!
Tough to say sir! It will not kill. Well done
I wonder how many retakes they had to do if Doug kept saying "It will KEEL" instead of "It will rescue"
Amount of retakes: 0
Corporal Russo since he also does cutting test, probably 0
I'm very impressed at the fact that a former police officer built a tool not even used in his field. I'm sure the firefighters were impressed, as well.

I really enjoy this show! What a fun challenge! Great to see a life saving tool being made and tested.
I've seen tougher strength tests on swords. Break glass and a 3 story drop? Seriously?
Was waiting for him to say. “Most importantly. It will kill”
The only thing i know about blades is what i've learned from this show, but even i know that damascus was a bad idea. Don't think firefighters would care about the looks of a tool. Just make it as functional and durable as possible.

So much masculinity and so much respect! Those smiths are always impressive.
All that im thinking is how much did they spend for the cars?
My dad tested the tools and He said the cars were non running from a junk yard that the show paid for.
love the halligan, one of my fav tools on my engine
Several firsts for this one
First tool
First time they had actual experts for the testing, even if they didn't trust them to talk to camera and contestants
First time they didn't have some idiotic strength test, half expected them to run over the thing in a tank.
"Evil Doug doesnt exist, he cant hurt you"
Evil Doug: *IT WILL RESCUE*
Who’s here after watching Halloween Kills?
Yes
My favorite iron.
We called it a hooligan bar...because you got to smash stuff with it !!
I AM SO DISTURBED THAT NOTHING WILL KEEL
Would love more of these types of episodes. But I feel that’s just because I am a firemen myself 😂
Do they flatten the tires first so the car won’t roll, or is it to make the insurance claim bigger 😝
Tires do not burn faster if they are inflated 😂😂😂
Provides extra room if trapped under something.
The tires can explode, cause of air pressure.
Awesome episode. Gotta love the firemen's work.
Ok ....... most people who are here already know Forged in fire,
We know what to expect and any newcomers will most probably be hooked after a couple of clips ( these things are never one and done )
So what is with the click bait title??
Nothing bent, broke or shattered.
There is no need to lower the brand to a buzzfeed level of attention grabbing.
Stay classy guys; it’s what the people enjoy
As a volunteer firefighter, I never did a vehicle rescue. We did use halligans to open up the sides of structures to extinguish fires inside walls and for that application I found that it absolutely stank. I couldn't get any of its parts to penetrate siding or anything; the adze and the pick interfered with each other and both of them interfered with using the claw.
