Forging A Traditional Viking Axe / Dane Axe

Thanks for watching!! In this video I’m forging a viking/Dane axe using the wrapped eye technique. The body and eye of the axe is forged from an old blacksmiths drift made from 1045 tool steel, and the bit is 5160 spring steel. The handle was made from an hickory wheel barrel handle.
