Forging a Cthulhu cultist dagger, the complete movie.

the making of the Cthulhu cultist dagger from beginning to the end.

[@skindancer01]

Incredible work Freerk, and can I just say what a pleasure it is not to have some asinine music playing over the video, just the ambient workshop noises, a real pleasure to watch, thanks

[@MikeKnell2884]

I love these complete movies you put out Freerk. Awesome work. I'm dying for the Witcher sword one though. Haven't seen anything new about it since the forging of the blade for it.

[@freerkwieringa275]

I was working on it today, so I will post it soon.

[@juanwebert]

Freerk Wieringa nice

[@kurtbogle2973]

I doubt I have enough time on this left on this planet to ever approach your skill level. It seems that the more I watch, the more skill and ability I see.

[@c130steve]

Totally blown away by your craftsmanship. Thank you for letting me watch your process.

[@dirkrussell7481]

that is pure craftsmanship.. just beautiful...

[@GeezNutz]

I love that you have such a well stocked shop, yet you use your angle grinder for sooo much. lol Really though, it's an inspiration that so much can be done with a tool that is so easy to get one's hands on.

[@bruisedhelmet8819]

Praise the chaotic gods of the KZbin algorithm because despite being subscribed I did not know you made this eldritch beauty until it spawned before me in my feed! That level of art and mastery is ethereal... and it almost calls....

[@keesvanderwerf2650]

Fantastisch om te zien dat dit soort vakmanschap nog bestaat! Jij bent een groot artiest, Freerk!

[@freerkwieringa275]

Bedankt!

[@blakOrkk]

It's interesting to see a Bronze Age-styled blade made from Damascus. Great work!

[@AuburnTigers111]

Each layer is like the pages of a book of forbidden knowledge, or the rings of a tree eons old, witness to the horrors of days long since gone.

[@freerkwieringa275]

very nice!

[@mitchnorton3709]

Well aren't we cheerful today.

[@stephenmercer4709]

dude I'm totally in awe of your skill, I wish I coulda seen these vids sooner. excellent work there awesome beyond words.

[@Arkaitse]

So much work for a stunning result. Congrats!!

[@Amphiron]

The Stingray leather handle was a nice touch.

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks!

[@TheFlatlander440]

I guessed that it was Skate, but close enough. Nice work.

[@Kratos_God_of_50_BMG]

I thought that using same for the grip was pretty awesome, but then again, the whole commission was amazing!

[@reap2112]

This is a very cool blade. I haven’t seen one better. How you made tentacles was perfect. Thank our Lord Cthulhu.

[@TheUnclefester13]

It is always amazing to me as an artist to either draw something myself or watch a Craftsman such as you draw something, then make it a reality. A sort of magic in that act that few have anymore, much less on your level. A pleasure to watch. I see you don't sharpen them. A shame, such works of art as yours should be functional as well as beautiful, but to each their own.

[@rogergibbs2937]

How come a thing as potentially deadly as this, be such a thing of beauty. Craftsmanship at its finest

[@slapdashlabs9163]

i have seen a lot of blacksmiths and you are just a amazing black smith

[@lukejohnson7282]

[@AngloSaxon1]

What an absolutely beautiful blade, great video, great craftsmanship.

[@Dionyx_IV]

Absolutely stunning piece

[@Giyvin]

You are very comfortable with your tools. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing.

[@octaviorodrigues4963]

Vos croquis sont exceptionnelle Freerk , L'ouvrage est d'une beauté , superbe dague ...

[@carljansevanrensburg2440]

You are a true artist, young man. A gift from heaven.

[@KowboyUSA]

Pattern on that steel is incredible.

[@TheShorebird]

Wow, the only thing Freerk does better than draw, is forge. What a talented fellow. Awesome work.

[@louisdespreaux9141]

This is an amazing video. Your level of skill is nearly unbelievable. You are certainly a great master of your craft.

[@davemckinney6555]

This is beautiful... you should absolutely make the cutlass to match.

[@dougbish1728]

Incredible craftsmanship. Simply outstanding ! I'm afraid to ask how much that piece sold for.

[@freerkwieringa275]

it is still on the shelve

[@charlescraig4611]

Freerk Wieringa How much in U.S. $?? The only thing I would love to see is that blade being turned into an absolute scalpel...I know you'd lose a little steel but the way you made that thing, it would be worth it...Btw, phonetically, how do you pronounce that word??!! Fantastic craftsmanship, Well Done...

[@k1ngdeth]

Unpronounceable by the human mouth. Closest approximation is "kthoo-loo"

[@Azelethros_OG]

What an epic piece! Well done!

[@OgbeKa1111]

Meneer Wieringa, met veel plezier kijk ik naar uw video's. U maakt prachtige dingen.

[@spyder578]

From the video set up to the polishing u single handedly show how to break down and perfectly build a beautiful blade , I bow down guru,,, lol love the videos and would love to see a Conan blade with bone carving I think u would kick A%#!

[@pipidemo1767]

wow! this guy is a artist and a blacksmith Bravo!

[@thenewseorarek9625]

have you ever tried forging a blade out of a bar of steel then leaving a small slice of bar at the bottom of the tang for decoration because that seems like an interesting idea

[@Sigusen]

Why is watching this stuff fun? I'm totally hypnotized, and I have no idea why...

[@mykalkelley8315]

It's the powers of cthulu, slowly taking grasp upon your mind..... Cthulu Fthagn

[@1996abbi]

a thing of beauty. Well done!

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks!

[@bonorolo]

Good work, good design ...Perfect

[@Doyle_Lorean2105]

Fucking brilliant work man. I liked the witcher 3 inspired sword you did, are you going to put a hilt on it in the future.

[@freerkwieringa275]

Joseph Doyle yes I am working on it

[@stealthylunatik2823]

The video is out now, if you haven't seen it yet.

[@garykawalec3078]

Freerk Wiering

[@ConorMakes]

Now thats craftsmanship right there, lovely job

[@wiartalexandre9349]

Very cool, amazing job! The tentacles are so relevant, great idea. The Great Old Ones would be proud...

[@freerkwieringa275]

thank you!

[@l1zrdking]

Woah. Such a rad piece of art!

[@beaub7702]

You sir are a freak!!!!! Brilliantly done brother

[@theswaggeringwombat3084]

The things you pull off are like magic

[@Lady_Longsword]

On top of talented blacksmith there's talented artist too. Truly a master

[@Lady_Longsword]

Freerk is too powerful

[@troubleis1983]

you are truly gifted bro! your vids always make me get in the shop!

[@Doka_Butcher]

Very cool ! Excellent !

[@tonywalker8030]

I like how you forge the edge into the steel. That would make far more superior then those that grind the edge. I can tell what you is sacred. Thanks for living my dream.

[@MDSBock]

Your a excellent craftsman and attention to detail, how many hours did u burn? Could you guess the steel grade of the blade? Now I'd like to see you hack something with the blade.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

The howling of unspeakable Eldritch horrors resonate within you. Ftahgn!!!

[@davidpieratt]

absolutely beautiful dagger......great work!!

[@dmwalker24]

Ok the tentacles were completely epic. Also... 'That which is dead may never die'

[@3DTyrant]

But you forget that 'with strange aeons, even death may die'.

[@mykalkelley8315]

That which is dead may eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die

[@Mo.Faried]

Awesome. You are a true artist.

[@eq1w1e1r1t1y]

you are hell of an artist.

[@defour6475]

super vet. Met die tentakels al helemaal. echt gaaf gedaan

[@jaimelopez1441]

a lot of work, beautiful piece

[@MrMeatball052]

Why did he opt to cut/stack/weld instead of hot cutting and folding? I'm not a blacksmith, so I don't know if one is worse or better than the other.

[@PaulFlynnjr]

Absolutely love your vids. One thing though, if you're going to cut leather and other hides, you have got to get a super sharp razor. Like a surgeons scapulae. You can cut with a regular razor or knife, but a scapulae would make things easier and less prone to off-cuts. You could probably make something yourself.

[@Dionyx_IV]

Paul Flynn I think it's stingray leather

[@EvilSl0th]

i am very curious as to the outcome of a billet if after twisting it one direction, then made square... what if you then twisted the billet the other direction before once again making it square for the final forging? i saw this sword once where the two steels were blended and looked like flame up the blade. been wondering for years how it was done.

[@Seyiid1453]

Like Octupus Arms....crazy Good work.

[@kuribo1]

Absolutely fantastic...

[@Sinnstudios]

I Really like what you do . Ther are not too many people that can do what you do anymore.

[@colddose9636]

You are really a great artist , thx for video

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks!

[@bernardbookless654]

Amazing, absolutely amazing!!

[@dermannindermenge2541]

The steeltexture is just beautiful. The handle wouldnt be my taste and seems needlessly bulk, but accurate to the scetch i bet. Ftahgn. One of the best bladeworks i've seen so far, using only steel and hot forging techniques. I dont even wanna guess the price on a piece like that 😅.

[@andriilytvynenko602]

Very iterestig design! Bravo!

[@eetukuru787]

That tentacle guard is absolutely phenomenal! Pair it with some raindrop-pattern damascus next time, maybe even make a flamberge blade? Was this a personal project or a custom order from someone? How much did it cost to the customer in the end?

[@NeutronSplitter]

39:35 Sounds like an old Nokia phone got summoned along with Cthulhu.

[@icarosro]

Hey man, nice work you did there! what kind of belt grinder you suggest to a begginer bladesmith? (in terms of Rpm of the motor) you are awesome!

[@freerkwieringa275]

eehhhh. it depends on where you live, in holland i can only get the fast ones for a reasonable price. otherwise e multiwheel adjustable ginder would be good, just buy a good one so you do niet have to re-buy. i built one for my selves with a frequency regulator, this help with polishing.

[@icarosro]

Freerk Wieringa thanx! Here at my country i could buy one that have 1700 rpm (375w) and other just 250 rpm (600w) wich one is better? thanks for your help man!

[@stevenkerry3101]

that is a piece of art .

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

beautiful dagger and pattern

[@alraven2753]

What are you using to line your forge? I'm currently in the process of building a forge and I was wondering in your opinion what I should line it with. Thanks

[@ibrahimal-leila6318]

Nice shape of blade, this remind me litle about Jambiya dager, one nice blade wich is werrry hard to do for beginers....So you have all my admiration for you art.

[@blackedouthonda2263]

Why forge it out and cut it , then forge it and cut it? And so on. What does that do? Does it make it stronger?

[@RJ-oo3vf]

Outstanding job!

[@Hockeyguy584]

Stunning work.

[@justinnottelling6148]

Impressive, and the concept drawing made into reality makes me jealous. I can draw but have not experience in a forge. One day I will learn.

[@oliviervanhooff8619]

goed gedaan man. echt prachtig. maar vraagje. hoe zijn jullie blacksmiths gewoorden?

[@proudofjune]

Hey there! Awesome job! Watched the whole thing mesmerized. Any courses or books you may suggest to a begginer blacksmith/bladesmith?

[@freerkwieringa275]

Complete Bladesmith Forging Your Way To Perfection by Jim Hrisoulas, it is a bit old, but there is allot of info in it.

[@savyjunior82]

Congratulation . You are the best and i see your video for all day. Beautiful job. Bye from Naples (Italy)

[@jasontexada4061]

The white stuff does what? what are you using to harden the metal?.....great vids btw keep up the awesome work

[@freerkwieringa275]

it is borax, it is a flux I harden them in oil.

[@mattwyeth3156]

This dagger looks great

[@TrillShatner]

I like the blade, loathe the quillion, grip and pommel... (not sure if it comes from a game or something in which case I take back the statement about the pommel/grip and quillion)... The craftsmanship is astounding, but overall it appears to me, too bulky to be cool or transportable. Not even a dagger anymore really (not concealable), its like a one-handed shortsword with a blade longer than a foot in length that looks like it could slash through a tree.

[@tphvictims5101]

It’s like DaVinci, only you make it real.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

I'm a sucker for this kind of detail carving! ;-)

[@luisirarrazaval766]

Hola, cada vez encuentro mas interesante su trabajo, saludos desde Chile...

[@MrCenttaurus]

Bravo, great work !

[@freerkwieringa275]

thank you!

[@fatdawgpeet]

Crazy beautiful pattern!

[@bub_lite_6361]

Awesome dagger!

[@kurtbogle2973]

Freerk, it's a good thing there's no limit on talent. IF THERE WAS A LIMIT YOU WOULD BE OVER ANY LIMIT.

[@OmanOman-xz2xv]

اكو عرب فالطياره. لو سمحتوا ممكن اعرف ما هي الماده التي يرشها على الحديد وهو حامي. رماد رمل مواد كيماويه ولي ويش بالضبط

[@veedubz3265]

Was there any reason in particular for drilling the meal whilst hot?

[@arklanuthoslin]

as i sit here applying finish to the handle of my second knife, i find inspiration here.

[@11BMark]

I wonder how much it would be to commission another dagger just like this one? Would you consider it?

[@freerkwieringa275]

it is still in stock: you can order at [e-mail].

[@jameswesth-dtalk2081]

i really enjoyed this. Awesome Work!

[@sharpassilver2612]

Why do you drill on hot steel? Wouldnt this burn up drill bits? Seems counter productive.

[@freerkwieringa275]

SharpAsSilver the steel is air hardening. It is extremely hard...

[@gefersonmotta721]

Belíssimo trabalho. Qual madeira foi utilizada? Se alguém souber responder?

[@patrickf428]

nice piece, but i consider that more as short sword than dagger no ?

[@thecynic807]

It will kill

[@jennydeamhan1703]

The Cynic Good to see another forged in fire fan

[@chrischapman9887]

This is verynice but i like the warlock sword the best seen the movie u did like 4 times and still seeing stuff i didnt the first time

[@caccomacaco]

Hi, awesome work. How many hours would you say took you to finish it?. Regards

[@freerkwieringa275]

thanks! about 7 days.

[@treedaddy4260]

Why the spine on your blades? I've only seen that used for bronze swords, not steel or even iron.

[@freerkwieringa275]

i like it. it is done again in high medieval blades again.

[@HivernaalChannel]

Great 'Cthulhu' work !
