Forging a Viking Knife from a Leaf-Spring: Complete Build (Anglo-Saxon Seax)

[@christiansteele7386]

I like the authenticity. Ali thanks for stopping to take time and talk about things you’re doing. I’ve seen several people that just roll through it and you have no idea what they’re thinking

[@billmixson3218]

Your videos are great teachers, in themselves. I really like this build......Thanks!

[@mechredd]

I like the pitted look. It looks like a working knife handed down for generations.

[@brianboru62]

Nice authentic looking Seax!!!

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Thank you!

[@javanbybee4822]

This knife looks amazing! You did a great job, I need to make one now.

[@ivarboneless2649]

Update: I’ve been using this seax every weekend for close to a year now. It’s held up extremely well and still sharp as a scalpel

[@pilgrimpits8872]

Every weekend?!?! That is many slain enemies. I will see you in Valhalla! Hail Odin

[@ffolted]

That turned out great,definitely got that ancient look to it.

Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can give me.

@Drake Noah instablaster ;)

[@drakenoah7954]

@Lian Hank Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@drakenoah7954]

@Lian Hank it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@lianhank9534]

@Drake Noah You are welcome =)

[@waynegray675]

Well done bro, I'm about to get forging myself. The seax was always going to be my first project, you've given me some great tips 😍

[@robertgreenlaw]

Great job! It looks super!

[@bushcraftoregon]

Really enjoyed your vid. Liked how you talked about certain things historically and also the mechanical process. I make knives too but not that long :)

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Thank you sir, I appreciate you watching! It's always cool when another knifemaker enjoys my videos.

[@askoseppanen3779]

Now that's a one cool seax! I have been thinking doing one some day, and a re create a pattern welded merovingian sword found near my home, here are many iron age graves and we have medieval church 1304ad in our village.

very nice amigo. mereces que tu canal sea de los mejores en youtube. saludos

[@jimludwig7231]

Great video Phil, truly enjoy the commentary. Very helpful. I got a set of F250 springs waiting for projects to clear my bench before I try a saex and broad saex set in very much this style. Thanks again.

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Thanks Jim, I appreciate it! Good luck on your build

[@helmwoodshopandsmithy3582]

Nice build!

[@neilyakuza6595]

Awesome!

[@techronmattic5876]

Another cool knife, nice work

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Thanks dude!

[@thierrypasquet1503]

Très beau travail .

[@Vyk1345]

This is the seaxyist video I've seen in a long time! Seriously though, it turned out great.

[@PhilBaumhardt]

I was waiting for the puns haha

[@dreadnought8363]

I`d love a video about seaxes in general.

[@PhilBaumhardt]

I would like do one of those has well. Did you ever see this video I made last year?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYOcioaIgL1jd80

[@arleneandrade1025]

Knife seax vihing 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏

[@kanejaywolf94]

Could you make a yakut knife some time? Great video as always, hopefully I'll be able to start forging soon.

[@PhilBaumhardt]

I had to look that up, thats an interesting knife for sure, I certainly will have to try my hand at making one.

[@kanejaywolf94]

@@PhilBaumhardt thanks for the fast reply. I hope you'll make a video on it.

[@sanclertojal917]

Knife 10 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@christiansteele7386]

Honestly I think you should Al least try wootz steel at least once, it’s historically accurate and definitely more authentic

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Its on my list 🤙

[@robertd6925]

What year vehicle is the spring from?

[@PhilBaumhardt]

Hard to say, but based on how long it had been sitting there maybe the 60s or 70s

[@robertd6925]

26:12 wtf?! Who taught you how to mix epoxy?

[@sanclertorjal5609]

👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@kkarlsson1971]

If you're worried about the glue not mixing properly, then i guess you should mix it properly.

[@wpjohn91]

When did Vikings crew claim the Seax? The Seax gave the Saxons their name and predates the vikings by 300 years.
