Making a Twist Damascus Viking Seax

Thanks for watching! This blade came out looking much cooler than I thought it would. The dark star-like pattern looks like something that came out of a video game. I hope my video brought you some enjoyment and that you learned something you didn't know before :D

    If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉🎉

    I collect Seaxes, usually of monosteel, and pattern welded ones, but I have never seen a Damascus steel one like that, it’s beautiful. But that style of Seax, is the Anglo Saxon Broken back Seax. Also the handles on most Seax were over long, in fact some of the handles on smaller Seax, were longer than the blade, so a six or seven inch long handle would be accurate for this Seax.

    @@BennyCFD For at least 200 years, the term "Damascus" has been applied to high layer count pattern-welded steel that roughly emulates the look of traditional high Vanadium content "Wootz" crucible steel from Damascus (and India) that gets its "watered" random pattern from the carbon nucleation sites created by the Vanadium. I believe it was a German knife merchant who first recorded the distinction in the 1800s, listing blades of both methods as two separate types of Damascus... so it's not the ignorant misconception that you think it is: it's been standard nomenclature to refer to pattern-welded steel as Damascus for centuries. And it's specifically because it was done, in conjunction with etching the finished blade, to try to replicate the look of traditional crucible Wootz Damascus steel, which was a misnomer in itself because a great percentage of that "watered" crucible steel was made in India, not Syria. So if you want to be pedantic and say that pattern-welded steel isn't Damascus... then most of what you'd call "real Damascus" isn't actually Damascus, either... but is instead Indian Wootz. Or you could just go along with what has been the global standard terminology in the worldwide blade market for centuries, and refer to this type as "Pattern-welded Damascus" and the original type as "Crucible Damascus."

    If you died TODAY, where would you be spending eternity? Have all your sins been forgiven or are you still hoping that you're a good enough person to earn a spot in heaven. The reality is that no one can earn a spot, our sin disqualifies us. But the God news is that Jesus paid for our qualification by dying on our behalf taking the punishment that we deserved. JESUS said, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son; that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16 Nothing is more important than your eternal destination. Please, don't say, "When I get older I'll get right with God' or 'I'll get serious with Jesus one day when I'm ready.' Don't wait any longer, today is the day of salvation. Get right with God today, for tomorrow very well might be too late. We invite you to REPENT and accept that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life by praying this simple prayer out loud right now... 'Heavenly Father, I turn away from my old life and repent for my sins. I believe that Jesus came for me, that Jesus died for me and that Jesus rose again for me so that I can be forgiven and receive eternal life. I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, receive the gift of eternal life. I ask you to fill me with the Holy Spirit and lead me for the rest of my life. In Jesus name - Amen. 🎉🎉

    At 29:36 when you are doing file work for the guard, you can mark the depth with a hacksaw and the file guide, widen it with a triangle file, and then use the round one to finish it. It's easier and faster than manually trying to do it all the way with the round file.
