It's nice to see a metal working shop that is clean, organised and well-lit, unlike another sword making channel which uses the dark, dirty, medieval scrap yard aesthetic. Tidy shop, tidy mind.
I enjoyed this video. I just started making knives. But I want to make a sword when I get better. Thank you for sharing and showing us how to be a better blacksmith. I love that sword. Great job
This is a cool video, I just bought a sharpened Damascus steel Viking sword, its had crafted in Georgia, I love it. I'm Swedish and Norwegian, 6'5" tall and 270 lbs.,so I can do some wild things with this sword! You have to be careful though, this sword is razor sharp, do the wrong move with it and and you can slice you arm off, or your head, Lol.
echt klasse was der typ so drauf hat.......aber wäre echt interessant zusehen wie ein solches schwert von hand entsteht......und welche möglichkeiten die damaligen schmiede hatten. trotzdem ist klinge ein echtes meisterwerk das seines gleichen sucht.....echt genial.
And, the story goes, he so brave and pure of heart, reached into the mouth of the fire spitting dragon and yanked out its tooth made of ore. While covered in dragons blood and the knights it devoured, he melded it into the sword of lost souls. Excellent craftsmanship!
this middle section of the blade - shouldn't be forged instead of grinded in, so it get more strength in the core of the blade? just asking, i'm completely noob about this. very nice craftsmanship.
The black steel is 1.2842 ( aisi O2 steel , 90MnCrV8)....the white steel is 1.2767 ( aisi 6F7 , 45NiCrMo16). The 1.2767 steel has about 3.8-4.3% Nickel....that almost double the amount of nickel 15n20 or 75ni8 has. The 4% Nickel content makes it a very high contrast damascus.....but it also makes the billet harder to squash at welding heat.The nickel makes it a very tough steel. If you dunk this damascus steel for a night in a strong soluble coffee and water mixture after the etch....you get a very black and white damascus. Much more contrast than just an ordinary etch.
You can be proud of your skills! By the way, how would a 12th century Viking have made that center groove? Or would they have even bothered with the difficult multi layer process?
Traditional blacksmiths forged their fullers with a special tool. If you look at 8:47 in the video you'll see he has two flat pieces of wood that evenly flatten the steel when placed in the power hammer. The tool used to Create fullers is like that but have a cylindrical hump that evenly distributes the metal out. Of course back in the day they would have used a team of apprentices with big hammers instead of a power hammer. Fullers were used to decrease the weight while retaining the same strength and using less steel. Today steel is cheap and figuring out exactly how large your sword will be after forging the fuller is difficult so most modern blacksmiths simply grind them out.
Excellent craftsmanship .. can we place order somewhere ?? I am an Rajput from India, professionally an industrial designer but as traditional we carry Tulwar swords during our wedding ceremonies. Would be be interested in such a project??
Okay, I commented before finishing the vid, and I gotta say: love the part where you stop to open a book and measure the fuller. I read about Damascus steel, and based on what I've seen it looked like how it did due to a particular process, so seeing this going through similar processes as from prev. vids, I'm wondering what you did to give it that trade mark wood like grain. Did those tubes you stuck the blade in near the end have anything to do with it?Also, the sword looks finished, but the title is only part 1? does the next one show you swinging it and testing it?
Hey I noticed that when you fold the steel you let it cool first then saw the material in half, weld it, then heat it again. Most of the other videos I've seen has them fold steel while its still hot; are there advantages and disadvantages to these methods or are they just a preference?
How did you stack the billet such that the lines near the edge of the bevel are much much closer to each other than the lines going up the rest of the bevel are?
That is lovely work, I really admire your skill,,I was born in a house next door to a farriers yard ,and I used to go round every chance I had to watch him shoeing cart horses,,my first painfully memory was dropping a horse shoe on my foot,,I was three at the time,,I always wanted to be a blacksmith,,but never got round to it,,,thanks for the video ,,🤗,,
Is there an advantage of hammering the tang out in this manner compared to just cutting away the excess material? I know it was probably done this way historically, im just wondering.
He got everything - forging skill, powerful new machine, shiny long hair - except the larger plastic milk carton.
Another master piece! Can't wait to see the finished product.
The sound of you hammering away feels so therapeutic...

Visually Stunning !
Amazing Craftsmanship !
I could fall asleep listening to this guy work, its like music to my ears.
You are a gifted artist. Beautiful sword
Beautiful blade.
Absolutely remarkable craftsmanship!
Finally, a smith who tigs their damascus billets. I've never understood using stick or mig, it just adds so much extra material.
من وجهة نظرى انت افضل وامهر صانع سيوف فى العالم♥
Superb blade profile, light but sturdy.
Buen trabajo de herrreria
This is ART! Congratulations!
Looks great can't wait for the finish.
1000 like. Good job. I like it
I enjoyed this video. I just started making knives. But I want to make a sword when I get better. Thank you for sharing and showing us how to be a better blacksmith. I love that sword. Great job
Each of those in these videos are masterpieces... and they all are so different.
Need to use them. Nice job ever
I can watch this for hours. Gives you a good idea how much effort it must have cost then. to forge a really good sword.
Cool how you can see the power hammer marks in the fuller. You've got a very steady hand!
Beautiful work!
2:05 looks like the old "slag in the glove" shake.
S34WOLF it was
yes of course
haha im not the only one who caught that
*_#FAGINTHEGLOVE_*
I could think of several other place that it would be worse to get slag.
Amazing build
Great work
Отличная работа. Завидую Вашим навыкам
Nothing much to see here, just a modern day Viking making a beautiful Ulfberht! Amazing Work! The finest sword to date #Viking
Looking forward for part 2.

BDR1420 I will make a forge and film it this year I think
That would be great. Thanx
Bagus banget tuh kreaitipnya waji pt essi jakarta jos
Saya suka. From indonesia
Master class !

Such a beautiful result.
What a beautiful blade, damnit!
Amazing work. How much real time did this actually take?
I did not see the part where heat treating occured. Did you just make it for looks?
Its beautiful no matter, but will it kill a saxon?
Шикарно!!!
Was the heat treatment done off camera, or did I miss it? Beautiful work.
bobasaurus it's in the next movie
Oh, didn't see the 2 part video. Thanks, this was a great watch. I hope to make something of that scale someday.
simply beautiful! Thanks for the excellent video.
very Nice!
Very good work friend ,,, a luxury to see you elaborate the back ,,, cordial greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina
Another great video can you forge a Battle ax?!
Mark Tyler I married one, you can have her.
@@David-es6vc 😆😆😆
Very nice bro
Masterwork, honestly a real masterpiece. Wieringa your skills are brutal. I would love to have one of those artworks in my home.
Beautiful work, especially simple equipment.
Beautiful piece of steel
Hello, what is that white liquid that you use at the beginning? Great video!!!
borax solution
fantastic!
Exelente. Parabéns. Muito bom mesmo.
you forge weld alot.have you had any bad bilits you make it look so easy also you are an excellent blacksmith
Everything you’re about to see is authenticated 700 year old techniques most importantly the massive beard
from Chile le falta rock a tus vídeos, good work.
Love your work true craftsman
What type of steel was used for the contrast?, it looked like 15n20 and 1070. Beautiful work as always.
The black steel is 1.2842 ( aisi O2 steel , 90MnCrV8)....the white steel is 1.2767 ( aisi 6F7 , 45NiCrMo16). The 1.2767 steel has about 3.8-4.3% Nickel....that almost double the amount of nickel 15n20 or 75ni8 has. The 4% Nickel content makes it a very high contrast damascus.....but it also makes the billet harder to squash at welding heat.The nickel makes it a very tough steel. If you dunk this damascus steel for a night in a strong soluble coffee and water mixture after the etch....you get a very black and white damascus. Much more contrast than just an ordinary etch.
Hey, thanks for the detailed reply
weer perfect gemaakt. echt een meestersmid
No heat treatment yet?
BTW, thanks a lot for sharing your work. Really inspiring.
So how much does it cost? I’d buy it. I’ve got 65 ounces of silver.... Trade?
I have a pile of Waffenrocks and half-used bandages totaling 500 Groshen in value.
I would like to buy it. Tell Actual price of the the wapan in rupees

Dude has an exoskeleton sitting around his workshop. Probably building a Fallout power armour on his free time.
Beautiful work! Always!

I know it was probably done this way historically, im just wondering.
At least hammering and lots of heavy works are done by modern equipment, in viking times they would have to use muscles for that
so
So??? they should be stronger and 10 times more quality than Viking sword, you nincompoop
