Blacksmithing. Forging process of the Viking Age battle axe.

In this episode of the scrap metal replica, I show how to forge replica of the archaeological find of the Viking Age battle axe. To forge it I used wrought iron and old 19-century steel.

Jak zwykle. 👍

I have seen some axe makers open up a v shape in the softer steel, and then weld a harder steel into the center. I guess, depending on the use, welding the piece from one side is just as good. Interesting.

There is several ways of the cutting edge forge welding, look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHm1ZGCoar2Nd9E

8:20 how did you get it stuck together here? Put it in the fire carefully and let the heat stick them together? Or heated 2 pieces separately and hammered em together?
