Nice Video Nills i will try it out to forge my own Backsmith`s Knife. (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family)

Beautiful and I love the simplicity of it all

Very nice video. I'm a woodcarver and boatbuilder by trade and love to use my axes when I can. Ken

I just started my journey as a blacksmith and I tried to make a knife similar to yours as my first project. I’ve never seen your channel till now and I wish I had seen it before because my first project was pretty rough. Thanks to your video I have a great direction to go and now I know what I need to do to make it right. Thank you for making this and I hope to see many more of your videos. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I’m so interested in learning more about out where to start blacksmithing and forging! I will definitely buy the ebook and start learning as much as I can. How did you get started?

Having a forge and an anvil would be a dream come true

That was very instructive and with a lot of technic thank you very much!

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I am totally new to blacksmithing and am trying to soak up as much as possible.

Hej Niels, hilsen fra Danmark👍🇩🇰 I really enjoy your videos. I have made some knifeblades and would love some to be able to make an axe.

Looks awesome

Very nice, clear and I love carving with my axes. Woodcarver by trade. Thanks for the nice video.

Always enjoy watching a craftsman work.

Beautiful ax. You've got talent.

Marvelous

Great video... would really like to get a forge. Just afraid of the startup costs.

I love this format of video with the panning to the interview of yourself during the build 👍🏻

Very cool. At 14:28 it seems to have a lighter shinier color than later at 14:57. Have you done any other finishing besides the etching?

We all have the therapeutic experience of forging a knife, thanks for sharing.

Not too often you see someone using a rasp file these days. Normally it’s a grinder. Kudos

A great little knife Nils, hope you and the family have a great Christmas break

Hope you get the tricks out for all of us noobies. Thinking of buying that book!

Looking for a small companion that doesn't look factory made and suddenly I spot your channel. Luck?I don't think so. Fine work!

very neat:o

Clearly I’m too late for the give away of the axe. 🪓 Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching you make it and subscribed. Great stuff. Thank you.

Nils ogren the axe master! Love your work!

I'm so glad this video showed up in my feed .... I admire your patience and determination as much as I do your skill. I can see that it isn't easy, but you make it look that way. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy Christmas - 2024 !!

What a great and engaging video. I wish all blacksmithing videos were done like this. You're an inspiring teacher with awesome skills. Thank you so much, I learned a lot.

Very detailed, well presented and enjoyable video, the axe is beautiful

Fun to watch you make something other than an axe! (those are fun too!).

Awesome video as always Nils🤘

Désolé mais c'est pas du vrai ''Damas'' c'est du laminé , comme le acier Noricum ,avec effet ''Damas'',le vrai ''Damas'' venait de l'Inde il existe plus...et la technique c'est pas la même ...

That’s so cool man it would be so neat to make one of those. I’m curious if you can make one in one day or how long does it take? I don’t know if there’s a class or something.

Great video, thanks

Very good skills and sense of metal movement, control, and sinuous aesthetics. I’m curious why you didn’t follow the usual FAMHAT (Forge, Anneal, Machine, Harden, Anneal, Temper) process.

Awesome excellent podcast thank you 👍😀

I Love those knifes, they are quite easy and beginner friendly, but still have something special and beautiful about them. and they are quick if you need it. this summer on a medieval festival I needed a small kitchen knife for dinner. so I started to make one of this and turned out really good and fast. and since I am still learning this project teached me a lot.

Love the blacksmiths knife. Simple

Would love to own a handmade piece of art. 🙏🏻

Great tutorial 👌

Comment!

So elegant and simple

I wonder what note does it make when stuck in wood and hit with a hammer.

I really like that you didn't speed up the hammering in the video, it shows more deliberate strikes for newbies like me. The temptation is to be fast, but deliberate is probably better, especially starting out.

Did this at a viking festival absolutely amazing would recommend anyone to try

Such a beautiful piece of work. For an experienced Smith/Maker it might be quite a simple process; for others like me, it is an absolute Masterclass 💙

So inspiring! What a way to get hooked on a new hobby!

Very nice

yo dog were u selling knifes at Bratislava or are from Bratislava

Fascinating to watch you making your Pein hammmer, I have been welding repairing and hand making machines since I was 15 years old and I am now 71 and still working 9 hours a day and think its time I bought a forge to keep me ocupied when I retire and it would be fabulas to own one of your hammers to start me off, it will get a lot of use

When I was younger I used to try to forge things by heating a metal rod in a campfire. We have a small anvil and some hammers that I was using. I used to talk about being a blacksmith when I grew up, and although that is not the path I am going down, I still love the blacksmithing work and I love seeing people like you work on these things. I used to cold form large nails into little knives or spearheads and I even made a couple of small knives from pieces of rusted metal.
