Hand forging a simple Viking knife.
Ғылым және технология
I forged this "viking" knife. I thought it was a historic design but in fact it is a design by Dutch Smith and artist Thijs Van de Manakker, he designed it in the 80s. Based on a early medieval and Roman Knife design. Since then it is made all over the world as a authentic medieval knife. Thijs Van de Manakker did allot for the historical reenactment world and deserves credit and recognition for allot of designs and historical research.

In my lifetime I've seen literally hundreds of these knives. This one is by far the nicest. Veddy good job
Definitely the nicest version of this blade that I've seen 👌
In the description you comment on it's a modern styling of a historical piece, but in your hands it's a timeless classic.
you are the first smith i have ever seen draw the design on the anvil like that. ive seen many use paper or even a concrete floor but right there on the anvil is so smart
Amazing work of art, this twist on the blade characterized his work. Congratulations!
Beautiful blade. Outstanding craftsmanship. Love watching your videos.
Very cool, I like the way the twist turned out!!! Keep it up good Sir!!! 💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻
I have seen almost every Blacksmith make this style of knife as blacksmith knife . But never mention the history. Really That Dutch smith Van De Mankker deserves a shout out and credit for his work

I don't believe there's any evidence of medieval knives looking anything like this. Certainly the museum catalogs I've studied do not contain any knives like this.

@@bjf10 not medieval but far earlier Celtic design Thijs van de Manakkers Facebook page has drawings form surviving pieces, most are a strait tang with a small loop at the end 1 or 2 are with the well know loop as shown here
That’s why I love this channel’ always something unique and different:)
Look at all that *hand* forging, amazing!
I’ve yet to see ya do a “bad” piece. If you’ve made any mistakes, you covered it well lol. You’re a true artist with steel, sir. Cheers from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Extremely awesome! So well done!!!
so much time and effort on perfection... truly most of us don't know .. thanks for sharing..
Beautiful simplicity!
I love your work Blacksmith
Cool project! I think knowing when to stop working it so it retaines the "viking" in your finished product is a matter of faith
The nicest version of this blade that I've seen. Well done.
This looks interesting. I can learn some good ideas from your videos too. Thank you and keep up the good work
That is a beautiful knife, great work!
Excellant work as usual!!
Amazing work! Can't wait to try to build one of my own.
Absolutely beautiful work!
Wow, marvelous craftsmanship!
150 person don't recognize talent when they see it. This is gorgeous and every piece that I've seen so far.
Very good craftsmanship
Absolutely Awesome, pure Class , Skill & craftmanship, Fantastic
Great work there!!! 👍
I love this design! I want one!
es Increíble las cosas que se pueden lograr con un pedazo de metal e ingenio, creo que es una de las cosas más simples lindas que eh visto
Am going to be making this in my black smithing class so I'm learning ahead of time thanks mate
Für mich der beste Klingenschmied auf YT !! Nebenbei, überhaupt ein begnadeter Handwerker.
I love that style knife with the tang bent around as part of the handle!
You've got to be kidding me! I came up with a damn near identical design the other day. Turns out it must have come straight from the blood of my ancestors. Great looking knife! Regards from the north
Great knife design always thought the same as you on its timeline.
Awesome work Mate, I wish I had you skills. 👍
Perfectly Beautiful!
Excellent example of craftsmanship 🏴
Que precioso trabajó . Felicidades
Que buena versión .gracias por el video
Muito bom! Parabéns pela habilidade.
Love watching that metal move under your hammer, mad skills. Salute!
Cool blade man. I think I’ll do one similar. Thanks man. Danke
Nicely done I like the design
Nice job friend, I swear by my statement to anyone I speak about knives to, the knife is by far the most important tool man ever invented and possibly was the first, Primarily used for hunting then as we got "smarter" it was used for more nefarious purposes like hunting each other, still the basic shape and basic use hasn't really changed from paleolithic/neolithic times, and it's great to see a master craftsman like yourself making these tools, keep up the good work 👍
I love making these! You make it look really easy though! It really takes me a couple of hours to make one. I always fiddle around with the length of the handle instead of doing it the way you did it. You left it long and just cut off the excess after bending, that worked out great! I also liked that you used thicker stock to begin with, I think that will sit in the hand better than the ones made of thinner stock! Great work as always! Cheers from the USA
This knife is beautiful.
Never seen a vise rigged up like that to be a touchmark press, I like it and might have to borrow the idea!!
Best i have seen of one of these i like how you didn't put it in the ferric chloride for to long which gave your knife a beautiful faint damascus
Sir, you are so masterful at making knives, and swords. It wouldn't suprise me to find that you sweat razor blades!
Nice knife at the end👏👏👏
Superb craftsmanship ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
this is the best knife I've ever seen
Love the sound of that forge igniting, the muted bell clang of the hot steel hammer blows on the anvil. PS....worthy of all anvil work. Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn, and Floki would be competing vigorously over this knife.
That's a gorgeous knife
WOW, WOW, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU. BEST REGARDS FROM CANADA
That's a nice grinding machine, man.....✌🍕😎
Amazing knife 👍👍
excellent interpretation of a classic! I imagine what a Karambit made in this style would be like. it would make a beautiful hybrid!

Karambits are useful if you like a self-limiting knife. Name one nation that conquered the world with a recurve-style blade...

Nice knife.👍
that is one real cool looking knife sir
Nice really nice
How thick did you leave the spine on this knife?
Nice video. Thank you for sharing it. You have my support. :):):)
Hi there, is it possible to pre order same one? And what will be his price
I appreciate when I stumble on a forging video and the person is ACTUALLY forging and not just cutting a knife out of steel with the stencil they used for their shape and design. Bloody well done! :)
This is a Beautiful blacksmith knife.
Very nice!
What a workshop! Damn
Wow bagus banget motif pisau nya om
That's awesome! beautiful work!
Ik werk veel met hout. De patroon op dit mes lijk wel op houtnerf, prachtig!

the swords you make are amazing but this little knife is brilliant greetings from Poland
*Imagination to reality* 👏👏
Awesome men

Why not weld a bar to the wrench so you can twist with both hands and keep even rotation on the twist?
Ficou muito bom mesmo 10
