Absolutely beautiful job on what is one of my personal favorite types. I enjoy making axes more than anything and the goal for me is to one day get close to the quality of your axes. Really appreciate the videos.

Hi there, have you though potentially about using a D shaped axe eye for your historical inspired builds?

Very beautiful work son👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯

Very nice bow tie axe... really liked the bearded modification 👍 beautiful piece of work, cheers Hugh

Beautiful axe... need one...

Love your videos you're a ture Craftsman keep up the awesome work from Colorado 🇺🇸

Wow! What an awesome axe! The wood grain of that handle is gorgeous! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks again Nils!

Very nice axe

Greetings from Australia, I enjoyed watching the video and I have to say this is a work of art. I have bought several hand-forged laminated knife blades from Sweden, Finland and Norway and enjoyed making handles for them and use them for hunting and other activities. The closest I have to a forged axe is the Gransfors Bruks small forest axe but not a proper hand forged like the one you make. Maybe one day I will buy one from you. Cheers

Fantastiskt hantverk!

Blacksmiths back then, would I suspect, have been keen to make the job easier and the use of multiple forge welds certainly cuts down on the effort involved. It is also more conservative in terms of forge fuel and the iron and steel, which were commodities hard won from the ore. These days metals are very much cheaper and taken for granted.

Great job! I absolutely love this axe!! Great approach on the Type C axe! ⚡️⚡️

Nice one ! As always. Congrats!

You do awesome work Nils, Ave

I do enjoy seeing you make axes, i'd also love to see you make other weapons, like maces, daggers or maybe just a more elaborate axe with maybe some leatherwork or carvings or something, decorated perhaps.

This one looks great Nils!! Great job, as expected. Im sure the Dane axe is going to be awesome!! I miss the beard though...

Good job!!! Which steel grades are used in axe forging?

That thing looked tough on the anvil. Is this high carbon steel?

Good build, I think the lugs only going down looks fine, nice build. Clear hickory is my favorite for my grandpa said hickory is the best ( his favorite). Sir a fine video

Hickory is a great choice. However, hickory does not grow naturaly in Sweden, Ash however does and was something that they used back in the days, alongside birch and other woods.

Beautiful axe! Great job as always!

Wonderful! Say, these are weapon-axes, or for all kind of uses? And - no borax?? And let me know - your power-hammer, is it DIY?

I want to buy this one!

Its commonly called a bearded axe. If you search Google I'm sure there's many articles and videos about Scandinavian wood workers using them

Hello nice videos nice channel!! may be a strange question because I just started getting interested to forging so i wonder what is the white powder you put to the iron when you weld it? Thanks

3 жыл бұрын

Its called "flux" or "borax"

The brown color comes from heartwood, the prefered section of wood.

What kind of forge do you use Coal or gas

Hey Nils, nice work. One thing I would say is that it has a very modern eye. Eyes in the period had more sort of rounded rectangular eyes rather than the narrow oval style. There are some examples in the mastermyr book. The handles also didn't have as much shaping as you have given it and were approximately the length of the user's arm from armpit to hand. Otherwise, you're still not committing the big cardinal sins of recreating viking axes, and it looks good :) Adam Gutowski on facebook has some good examples. A really good smith from Poland

@ you can get a very nice friction fit with no need for even a wedge with the period ones :) I have quite a few that are friction fitted. Worth a go if you want to try a new method

when you put the splint thing in to hold the axehead in place, does the split go to the top of the axe or through the axe head? :)

Question, was it period to forge weld a taco for the beard piece separately or would the whole beard just be high carbon steel?

2 жыл бұрын

The idea was that carbon steel was alot more expensive than iron. So they did not use more than they needed.

Hi Nils, commenting on an old video so you may well not see this but I am interested to know if the “lugs” you refer to have an official name? I cannot find anything in print or online. Maybe they should be called “eyelids” given they are right next to and part of the eye 😊

Interestingly enough very similar patters have been found in Russia all across the Volga trade route. And Norse axe patterns are very close to Slavic patterns. Even the amulets pattern the axe of Perun are very similar to Norse patterns. Slavic, Baltic and Norse mythology obviously have a common predecessor before the Migration Period. the Russian Rurik dynasty the founders of Kievan Rus' the first Russian state are of Norse origin. The Rurik dynasty is the longest ruling dynasty of the Russian states. They ruled for almost 8 centuries.
