Making a Twist Damascus Viking Seax

Been following you since the beginnings! Can you build a blade for fun from the game Diablo 4?

[@dillonduty8084]

Ok I have always wanted to hand forge my own knives but a damascus pattern I have always wanted to see is a counter twist with a ladder pattern added in to the twist but I don't know how it would be done I call it a twisted ladder Damascus

[@SvenTviking]

As A Saxon , may I just say that the term “Viking seax” is ridiculous! It’s an Anglo Saxon Seax. We made ‘em and were NAMED AFTER THEM.

Im a massive fan of the smaller layer damascus blades, this one looks fantastic.

[@AngloSaxon1]

I collect Seaxes, usually of monosteel, and pattern welded ones, but I have never seen a Damascus steel one like that, it’s beautiful. But that style of Seax, is the Anglo Saxon Broken back Seax. Also the handles on most Seax were over long, in fact some of the handles on smaller Seax, were longer than the blade, so a six or seven inch long handle would be accurate for this Seax.

[@jhublades]

Thanks for the info! I knew it was in the style of the broken back seax but I didn't know the handle length was supposed to be much longer. I will keep that in mind for future seaxes.

[@joshschneider9766]

The entire knife type is of the Saxon tribe it's literally their name. To call this Viking is just rude. Saxon literally means men of the seax. It's LITERALLY their name sake and the name sake of today's Saxony Germany. You dumb boffins.

I started out at home with dumbells and a bench but cables offer alot at the gym, maybe you could afford your own cables for home if you dont like the gym, either way, it wont solve itsself on its own over time, it will only get worse, beautiful build by the way, just thought i'd offer some advice, if you need any more I'd be happy to help.

[@BennyCFD]

It's not Damascus it's layered forge welded.

[@stevealford230]

@@BennyCFD For at least 200 years, the term "Damascus" has been applied to high layer count pattern-welded steel that roughly emulates the look of traditional high Vanadium content "Wootz" crucible steel from Damascus (and India) that gets its "watered" random pattern from the carbon nucleation sites created by the Vanadium. I believe it was a German knife merchant who first recorded the distinction in the 1800s, listing blades of both methods as two separate types of Damascus... so it's not the ignorant misconception that you think it is: it's been standard nomenclature to refer to pattern-welded steel as Damascus for centuries. And it's specifically because it was done, in conjunction with etching the finished blade, to try to replicate the look of traditional crucible Wootz Damascus steel, which was a misnomer in itself because a great percentage of that "watered" crucible steel was made in India, not Syria. So if you want to be pedantic and say that pattern-welded steel isn't Damascus... then most of what you'd call "real Damascus" isn't actually Damascus, either... but is instead Indian Wootz. Or you could just go along with what has been the global standard terminology in the worldwide blade market for centuries, and refer to this type as "Pattern-welded Damascus" and the original type as "Crucible Damascus."

[@BUD420MAN]

I live in AZ too. I do construction and can say" you don't sweat ,,, much". I would be soaked like I just jumped into a pool with all my clothes on. Nice job on the Viking Seax. Will sub to see what's next . Stay Hydrated and yeah..... Drywall should not get that hot .... but, it is made from a flame/heat resistant material. In the garages , they use a thicker 5/8ths drywall for greater fire resistance . But I wouldn't press your luck as it is meant only to buy you some time to escape the inside of the house if a fire breaks out in the garage. I guess they figure there is a higher chance of fire in the garage due to the vehicles and possible chemicals storage. Keep in mind that the heat transfer to the framing above you could melt any wires you might have laying across the framing causing electrical hazzards ..... and although not very common, it could also spontaneously combust in the attic and you may not catch it till its out of control. May i suggest you roll the forge out the side door until you can get a proper hood to draw the heat outside. Keep up the great work. Stay safe!

Great build :) To answer your questions, I'd say that power tools are for rough shaping (disc cutter, course grinding) and final finish (polishing). Filing would be great for precision work followed by hand sanding, and you'd still need to buff it up with a power tool, but hand tools do introduce less heat in the process. This will differ slightly between wood and metal, but the basic gist is to use power tools in such a way that you only need a minimum of final shaping, with in your case also keeping heat treating in mind. It's an order of steps kind of deal, and whatever helps you minimise the steps at the best quality you can deliver brings more food on the table.

You got my subscription. Beautiful knife. Very well done.

[@robertmilos4650]

Thank you Jesse, your craftsmanship & skill is patently evident. Love your work Sir. In which episode of FIF did you compete

[@samuelpowell3376]

I enjoyed it💪 anytime I'm able to watch a craftsman play his trade💪💪

[@lonemountainknifeco]

Beautiful work. My condolences on being in AZ. I'm an AZ native and bladesmith that just moved to the frozen north at the beginning of the year.

I'm not a big fan of damascus steel in such a pure blade form, but the workmanship here is exceptional in its refinement. Really awesome job.

[@crispykrytter]

Found you while searching around for a knife making video. What a beautiful creation! Think I'll stick around and check out some more!

[@joshpottyandrifatto]

I actually shouted Jesus Christ! When that blade was pulled from the coffee treatment!!! Absolutely amazing

[@MrSpeakerboxx05]

This guy's cleaned house on forged in the fire and now he's at his home forge making Beautiful art.

[@TheReginayms]

Love the damascus pattern on the seax!

[@GhostTheJoker]

Just found your channel and as a person who loves watching Swords be forged, and who loves Viking related stuff, this was truly a good video. 36 minutes is definitely worth it to watch; AND you added some jokes as well, brownie points.

[@CurliestMonkey]

Instantly subscribed after seeing how crazy sharp the blade was. You make blades that perform as awesome as they look. Extremely masterful work man :D

[@Mr.mopar71]

You definitely deserve every dollar you get. Well done!

[@Thorn696_X]

Beautiful work of art my friend. Subscribed after the first 5 min. Now for something from an old guy, If you're going to use the heavier Hammer's, Please think about getting a elbow brace. Those tendons are going to wear out sooner than you can imagine. Tennis elbow is no joke, and with such outstanding work, we all want to be watching you for a long time to come. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your Art/Forging

[@stephengpaul]

Just subscribed. Good stuff. I like makers who freely admit and celebrate that they frequently make mistakes.

[@dkwb71]

Love your videos man. Forging is a true lifetime skill. Keep up the amazing work!

[@sonan333]

At 3:40 Would putting just a basic box fan, angled slightly toward the ceiling above the forge, fix the potential heat buildup? It would not only cool down the ceiling, but should also, in theory, blow the hot air away from that specific spot. You could even put the fan on that shelf where that white box is. If you want to get even "fancier", hang an aluminum tray that rests about a foot away from the ceiling above the area that is getting hot, and then point the fan at that.

A TRUE MASTER OF HIS CRAFT ..BRAVO SIR BRAVO...

[@sonan333]

At 22:50 So, there are reciprocating saws. And then there are a few reciprocating files, though only air/pneumatic files. And then there is an adapter for reciprocating saws to attach a file "head"/"bit". And if you can't find the tool/adapter you are looking for, you could always build your own tool/adapter for a reciprocating saw. I also didn't look too hard, so there may be actual electric reciprocating files. And then there are attachments for a drill that turns it into a reciprocating saw, but I couldn't find one for a file. But maybe you could modify the saw attachment to fit/take files? And if all else fails, you could always make an attachment for a regular drill that might do the job. Think of how a piston in a car works, or look up rotary motion into linear motion. Though I don't know how much pressure you'd be able to apply to the tool, and without using some gears and getting (more) complicated, you'd have to hold to hold the drill sideways. Thinking on it, making an attachment for an orbital sander (same concept as for the drill) might be easier/better, but I don't know if you can vary the speed of an orbital sander like you can with a drill.

[@devinschneider5789]

Bro.... You really need to set up an air extraction system in your workspace to exhaust smoke! Also they do make air files that work off of compressed air. Thanks for the vid!

[@jhublades]

The parts are here! I just need to get them hooked up to the ceiling and exhaust through the wall😁

[@jdpg265]

You are an impressive bladesmith and your content is excellent. I hope you hit that 1 million sub mark but dont let it go to your head :D

[@ACE37man]

I don't know jack about blade smithing but man are your videos relaxing

[@DirtDobberRC]

I would love to watch you make a knife using steels like M390, s90v, s110v. Those are my favorite steels and what I look for when buying knives.

[@bigstronguy]

I have to admit, I was about to watch a different KZbin video and off to the right, I saw "Making a $3,000 Damascus Viking Short-sword." I immediately switched over and watched your video instead! I'm glad I did. I had not heard of you and that you have won multiple Forged in Fire Championships. What's more, you're in my neck of the woods. I used to live in the Town of Gilbert, but a year ago, moved to The City of Chandler. FYI, I contacted Iron Rhino Forge, last week, to enroll in their upcoming blacksmithing class in September. I'm glad I found your channel. I definitely will be following you. Hopefully, you might help answer some questions along the way !!! 🙂

[@ironhammer3734]

That is a work of art, fanatic contrast and beautiful handle. Very impressed, new subscriber.

[@oscarhernandez459]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel

[@josephastier7421]

Another ridiculously awesome project. Nice!

[@jimrelaford4187]

Got to say, that was cool. Very beautiful weapon.
