    Nice to see this tool being created and it was an honor to test this carving axe. I axed out a few spoon blanks and quite liked how it performed in stock removal as well as the finer to the design line cuts and slices. Just two days ago I sent it on to the next carver/tester ... Odyssey is well named.

    5:35 I thought a good Viking like you would be using a small 2 handle draw knife instead of that potato peeler. :)
    This would be a fun axe to carve out some small totem poles with. The heavy butt on the handle is really nice as a hold and a bit of a counterweight.

    I love watching blacksmithing videos. The only knives I've ever made were from stock removal and just as a hobby.
    But I had a question I always wondered about blacksmithing.
    Does the steel on your blacksmithing tools lose its hardness over time since it's so often touching red hot steel? Always wondered about that.

    •  Рік тому

      I use steel that has some air hardening capabillities. Sure I have to dress them some times but thats rare. So the right steel for the job helps alot

    what do you use to make your drifts? I'm interested in making a war hammer and an axe, but don't have any drifts...

      I personally love 4340 for making drifts. I like it way more than h13

  • @bbrachman
    @bbrachman Рік тому

    Did you make the drifts and all the hammers you use? Just curious. In most blacksmith/bladesmith videos, the drifts just magically appear. I am wondering what material they are made of.

    •  Рік тому

      Yes I made them my self. I make a few drifts every year as they get worn out. I make them from 4340 steel. i have a video where I make one.

    Для такого массивного топора рукоять неправильная. У любого топора для уменьшения отдачи рукоять походит через перпендикуляр вектору удара. У длинной рукояти это не главное потому что за счёт длины угол уменьшается. У короткого топорища как это комфортно рубить будет только пяткой.
