I Forged A Damascus Viking Seax Sword And Here's What Happened

[@neville4451]

By far one of your best blades. Gloriously dramatic pattern. Any foe would run in fear in fact I'm scared just looking at it! Very well done mate

[@waylincaraway5013]

I think that is the most beautiful damascus you have made so far. It really pops after the etch. Really good job man.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

I really liked this one as well

[@Dean_F]

I'm amazed at how that blade turned out! It's beautiful and looks STRONG! It looks like it would stay sharp after battle and look good during. I tried to follow how all of the pieces went together there was a lot of layering, compressing, twisting, cutting, layering again, shaping, cutting. But however you did it, whatever magic you used it looks fierce and beautiful! Skol! To you my friend!

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Thank you. It was definitely a long build with many pieces

[@Dragon_Werks]

The Seax by definition is a knife. You made a very, VERY nice long Seax.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

A very very very long seax

[@JosephMcKinney-i5k]

It’s a crocodile Dundee Seax!

[@Dunning_Kruger_Is__On_Youtube]

Actually you’re wrong…A seax is a small sword, dagger, or knife used by Germanic peoples in the Migration Period and Early Middle Ages.

[@johncoleman6908]

You are a true artist! Your skill with fire and steel is unquestionable; you are amazing.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Thank you

[@LorisSawmill]

26:20 Oh, you finally learned the hot concentrated instant coffee etch!

[@scottmccarroll2618]

I’ve been watching your videos since you started your channel and I really must say you really have come along in leaps and bounds I really enjoy watching you and getting new ideas on what to do next thanks for sharing my brother in iron

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Thanks for watching

[@JamesMPogue]

Beautiful and deadly weapon, very sharp, the Damascus is unique.

[@theeddorian]

"Seax" is a Saxon and Old English name for the knife. The Norse had no knife that was called a seax.

[@vgullotta]

Holy crap man, when that came out of the coffee, what a sexy seax!!!! That pattern is amazing! I think this is your finest work yet! Nice work man!

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Thank you

[@marty01957]

Excellent Job, JP! Great video!

[@malnont]

That is indeed a beautiful looking pattern on the blade. Well done sir

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Thank you

[@christospapakostas8405]

Now, that's a knoife mate! 😁 Excellent work on the Damascus man, really beautiful blade

[@charitybrown4274]

Great Work as always!!👍

[@brucematzen4678]

Just a thought, you seem to speed through the process, the technique and procedure. You're a great craftsman!

[@DawahTrucker2024]

Beautiful long blade good finish very sharp

[@donross8707]

Thats a beautiful piece of work

[@bradellis141]

First solid blow it's gonna break your glue an come out id place pins to secure it but absolutely beautiful work.

[@edennis6446]

Another awesome build

[@MASI_forging]

Such a great work 👍👍

[@USAUSAM82]

Why no pins? That looks gorgeous! 😳👍

[@EdEndsley]

Great job well done 👍

[@geraldstamour1312]

Dope AF results, @JPsBladeworksASMR! Now it needs an equally dope scabbard to complete the package!!

[@markalan3108]

I am sure it's been said - that is a gorgeous blade!

[@izzatu]

I love that pattern

[@NatTate-f7e]

Maybe tape the blade above the hilt before you epoxy the handle?

[@douglaswoodard3412]

stunner but needs a pin if put to real use its going to break at handle that pattern is sick love it

[@1jesussaves2jesusliv]

Gorgeous blade!

[@renepicard8113]

Great job is this seax sword lol really nice job

[@LorisSawmill]

21:00 PLEASE lower your Vertical Blade Guide. It's to prevent the blade from flexing while cutting. RTFM for your band saw.

[@jvmiller1995]

What is the purpose of the WD-40 or the kerosene before heating the billets?

[@rolandquintanilla6807]

😳 how many layers is that?? I wish you would have showed the pattern during the forging and re stacking…but awesome job for sure!

[@RocketCityGardener]

What was the yellow waxy stuff you were wiping at the epoxy with?

[@georgecruz6226]

BADASS!

[@RichValentine1972]

Gorgeous

[@user-rf7kc4ev6t]

This is beautiful "damascene" pattern welded steel. I am curious as to the vanadium content? Great work. Were your layers from cast steel or bought stock?

[@joshmyers2873]

Man, that was awesome, I was really afraid you would shear the welds with such aggressive twisting.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Ive dont it before but i learned to not over do it. Its easier to heat and cool in segments instead of trying to force it.

[@aadnitraat]

🤔.....funny sword/knife making......the result nice tho! 😀🤙

[@turantugrul7797]

Magneficent ser. Making a damascus multi bar sword making please.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

Maybe in the future

[@fabeogardinier]

did you use the offcut for a small knife or folder?

[@michaelweinert-kg9xe]

ein wirklich gutes sax. super arbeit !

[@Philippe-f2z]

Je pense que vous n'avez jamais vu une épée viking de votre vie.😂😂

[@ryanjohnston4249]

I have a question for you: You cut the steel and layered the material before you drew it out again; why is this? I have seen some other videos where they use a hammer and tool to fold the metal. If I remember, it's partly to create that beautiful pattern in the finished blade. That's not saying your method is wrong, I'm just curious as to why. Thanks for the video, it's really satisfying to watch.

[@RedmanOutdoors366]

That came out nice but I wanted to see the twisted Damascus blade what happened to the first one

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

The twist is part of the design. They make the core part of the design

[@christiandietz6341]

Well, THAT'S a knOife!😂

[@dragonback6075]

It's a big knife. Beautiful pattern. But!! There is no way on earth I'd ever trust just those notches on the tang and epoxy to keep that blade safely secured.

[@Little_River_Forge]

Did you make a different channel?

[@imdaman01]

you should make a knife out of your scrap demascus.

[@ВагифГасанов-б7ш]

Где навершина? И почему рукоять не проклепал?!

[@stephenmeyer3056]

HOW MUCH?!?!!! As I’m beating my phone with my credit card 😂

[@mmancino1982]

Viking Frodo would wield that as a sword

[@maxwellblakely7952]

Needs a guard

[@jeffreyhoops3611]

I never hear you speak about your influences or where you get your inspiration from. As your skill seem to be growing at a rapid rate, it’s just a matter of time before you get your full recognition and respect among your peers. A back story would go a long way to help us understand where your skills come from.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

This is a non commentary channel so i dont speak. I have another channel where i do commentary over the videos and i explain my process and thoughts behind them.

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

On a scale of one to ten with ten being best: The blade gets a six due to pattern inconsistencies and poor forethought to the pattern at the point. The dark shadow at the back and edge should have been followed around the entire border of the blade. The handle gets a four due to very poor fit and choice of style, materials and shape.

[@JPsBladeworksASMR]

6 +4 = 10 😘

[@wrongfullyaccused7139]

@@JPsBladeworksASMR : You had your chance. Goodbye.

[@perrymason7492]

Need to be a little more aggressive on your flat press

[@gregoryheim9781]

Well, that's the sloppiest handle attachment I've ever seen.

[@jcdesano7438]

i don't like the way on how you press your heated materials, better to watch other forgers techics first, its for the better results also for your future forging

[@coldsholda]

That came out great who cares if you got the name wrong you are a blacksmith not a professor

[@MrZloikrot]

not yet a sword, but not a knife at all. big knife.

[@morgotha42]

the only thing not good about it is a hand guard so your hand does not slide forward and cut you. otherwise its stunning

[@EdEndsley]

Traditional seax does not have a hand guard

[@davemarcus5885]

You know welding on screen still hurts our eyes...

[@USAUSAM82]

🤡

[@polarwolf535]

😂😂👎👎

[@Helen-and-Katarin-Juska-law]

Whart rubbish, Damascus was never used by this era Vikings - they used twisted iron or in later eras sued a twisted system of hard steel and soft iron Not Damascus . Do your research from original documents, not modern fantasy .

[@aleksey270373]

викинги поржали бы если бы им дали такую железку...

[@ruelitodelacruz4760]

Not good
