I have been a welder /fabricator for over 40 years and never forged anything but now you have inspired me to pick up the hammer.
Thats so good to hear! Enjoy the craft!
I guess thats the curse of being an artist. Its not what you had in mind, and that can leave you with certain feelings. However those of us that see the finished product, appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of it. Its sick man, great work 👊🏾
I agree sometimes to truly create good works of steel you should forge it the traditional way without machines and gas powered forges etc
Edit: I'm no expert anyway but that's still a fine axe but I'd rather test it on something, or someone...

This comment speaks to me, thankyou
You're all amazing people!❤️👋🏾
Well stated.
Truly a masterpiece. Actually it would pass for an ancient viking war axe you could see inside of a museum. Well done Sir.
Must be my favorite so far. The dark handle together with the axe stunning, gives it a personality. I think you should name it.
blackmane, like a alpha wolf
I don’t know why, but I want to call it cunning
Fenrir 👍
Success
He said it’s name is Landslide
Its a very beautiful traditional patern welded viking axe. I love it! You did a great job 👍
I can truely appreciate a Mastercraftman at work.
Beautiful work. Sometimes mistakes end up better then if a mistake wasn't made. Good work, awsome forge.
Well done. Truly, well done.
That new forge is a dragon! Keep going man! You are doing such good work.
Your craftsmanship is on another level. Beautiful work brother.
Thank you kindly!
I’m glad you used the younger futhark for the engraving, too! It’s a nice detail that many forget about
Sometimes we move the design, and sometimes the design moves us.
Beautiful work!
A beautiful axe 😃👌👏👏👏
Really great looking axe, the pattern is beautiful, you have done a wonderful job on it. Looks like the new forge is living up to expectations as well. Your videos are a joy to watch, keep up the good work, Regards from Down Under.
Wow, that is a breathtaking kings man axe. That is the first axe I have seen built in in that way, both the edge and the folded welding of the body.
That is one awesome looking axe! Interesting to watch you go through the forging steps and making the haft. Very cool!
What a fantastic axe! Wow!! Thank you so very much for sharing and also thank you for not playing music in the background when making this video! Just super!!
Beautiful pattern for a "failure." I really like the result of forming the taco on the cutting edge steel. The proud edge looks great, especially with the Damascus patters. Like the time lapse shots showing the heat leaving the steel. Another good video Nils.
Amazing, and the edge looks super cool, the "reinforced" blade gives it a more agresive look
My ancestors would have loved this on the battlefield, great work
That is so awesome!!!
I am greatly looking forward to the day I am finally able to create weapons like this myself!
Hopefully soon!
Great work!
This one is my favorite so far, you do such great work its inspiring.
Thank you very much!
This is one of my favorite axes. Amazing!
That is one of the most Beautiful axes I've seen! A definitely would have been a absolute brute, for a viking warrior!
Magnificent Viking War Axe ! 👏
Looks awesome, I like the way you inserted the axe head into the blade steel instead of the other way around. Your work is art my friend.
Úžasná Umělecká práce, klobouk dolů. 👋👍❤️🌹🇨🇿
That looks absolutely epic!! Such a beautiful axe!
Beautiful build! Love the profile and the artwork.
astounding ! me, as a woodworker, craftsman and a metal engineer too, i am fascinated to see your skills in blacksmithing !! I love it !
That is one beautiful axe. Love the reverse fold on the edge. And don't sell yourself short, the axe handle is beautiful, great color.
Thank you so much. I love watching you make the axes.
Thanks man!
Beautiful peace of art
Holy cow this axe is absolutely epic
Amazing as always, it is a beautiful axe, and it's not a failure if it work
Amazing work. Just gorgeous. If you hadn’t said it didn’t turn out quite as planned no one would’ve known.
That is the most beautiful axe I’ve ever seen!
A beautiful piece sir, well done!
That is a work of art Nils!
Nils has turned into viking hulk hogan. Thank you for that amazing display of axe Nils
Magnificent work.
You did a good job. I like it.
This is quite the experience, the axe is really beautiful. Gj.
Great work Nils, I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up brother!
I love vikings and the details you put in this axe are awsome 👍👍🪓
For a failure that axe turned out amazing. Oftentimes we learn the most from failures or setbacks! Earned my sub. Thanks for sharing!
That looks better than what Marvel does with weapons! It looks like it comes from myth thousands of years ago. You're the best, even your mistakes come out like legend. Woohoo!
I do have to say, I do really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work, greetings from Germany.
dude this is amazing man this is pure skill u definetly deserve more subs bro
Good work i like the teknik u used when forging the eye
Excellent craftsmanship!
Absolutely Beautiful!
What an epic looking axe. I absolutely love the lines on the head. Amd the carving on the handle.
it still came out as a nice axe nice work
the best looking axe i ever seen to be honest
Thank you :)
Amazing work!
Amazing work. Beautiful!
Haha love the Dunder Mifflin sticker on the press! Beautiful ax brother
Amazing work as always! You make it look so easy. Any suggestions on steel type and style for making my first axe?
I'd LOVE to own this masterpiece!! This axe is BEAUTIFUL!! Keep up the GREAT work good sir! You have a new subscriber! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍
Beautiful. Well done sir.
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Hell yeah!! Nice work man!!🔥⚒💪🏻
Wow, amazing piece of work
I love to buy one of this. Beautiful axe. 👍👍
Not a failure Nils. It is beautifully crafted and certainly something to showcase your talents. I think I prefer how you welded the edge. Seems to me that would make a much more durable edge where the bulk of the blade sits behind the edge.
Man that's one BEASTLY axe. Looks awesome. 👍
Fantastic Axe and a super Job 👍👍
Absolutely beautiful 😍 I love this axe
0:40 Have you ever tried that with a flour sifter? It would definitely stop clumping and make for an even application. I've never seen anyone use it, but it seems like it would work.
Beautiful work
Lets take a second to see how that vise didn't move one mm
As always a master work
This is sooo awesome! You Are Amazing!😊
not a master but watched a lot of videos and this is the first time i ever saw the hardened edge put the outside like that, i always thought it was put in as a core then welded into it but it's still good looking work.
looks awesome loved how the patterns turned out in the steel. I have a question about the forging. Could explain a little bit more eye forging process you used in this video. It's the first time I have seen it done this way. I would like to know a little bit more about this forging technique.
It came out perfect its obsolutly beautifu
Stunning axe
It is an amazing and beautiful axe.I would love to own something like it.
Absolutely beautiful
You are an genius Blacksmith!👍🪓🔥♨️💥🔨
So a Craftmanship is absolutly awesome!🤘🤠
Stunning piece. It's always intriguing to see something I conceive come to fruition. Particularly intriguing is how seldom the result reflects the original conception. As I experience it, as artists we are engaging in a dance of aggregates... merging our will, with the nature of the materials and the interplay of our desires and our skills with the conditions in our studio.
While I'm often frustrated by the results that don't match, I'm also often suprised in a pleasant way that could not be anticipated.
In this piece I particularly appreciate the reverse weld with the clean clear line of the edge steel on the outside.
That is stunning!!
I'd love to own such a beautiful and functional axe.
Amazing. Good work bro
I would most definitely NOT call that one a failure!
Also, I really like the burnt look on the shaft
--- Edit: managed somehow exclude the intended NOT, 'cos that work is just...beautiful!
Im very sure all of us that laid eyes on this beautiful axe will agree. That is one Awesome oops. The line at the weld is so good. I know you must compress the time for video. I'm curious as to the actual time it took. I'm practicing my hammer strikes the various angles that let the anvil do as much work as the hammer. My forge is coal fired. I just finished a larger one that has a blower rather than a billows. I so wanted to start actual Blade Smithing and move away from the stock removal method. I built a coal fired forge and started out with a bellows. Turning out several knives and daggers. A few Tomahawks and finally a Viking axe.That a fellow that came over with a friend of mine decided he wanted it more than I and bought it😊I am now watching all your videos and look forward to them all.
Maaaate! - excellent work.
A Flat out masterpiece !!! truly AMAZING!!! i sent you a mail....greetings from The Netherlands
beautiful axe
Im new to forging and this stuff is absolutely intriguing and just aww. What would be some tips and the easiest way to getting into something simple. My background is construction, military, electrical. I know absolutely zero about this stuff. This is really awesome. Good for you bro. 👍
This is still a fine Viking axe with lots of interest in the patterns.
U got a subscriber for the good work. Greetings from Brazil, my mother's father was swedish! ☺️👊
A beautiful axe..
Don't think of it as a failure... Think of it always as you learning and refining your technique. Besides, that axe is incredible. You took a failure and turned it into a success.
looks awesome
Muy bonita acha, interesante trabajo con la forja.
Props for the "Dunder Mifflin" sticker, by the way. :D
My guy so good he don’t even wear gloves
Hopefully Dunder Mifflin / Saber's hydraulic presses are better than their printers. Couldn't stop watching. Beautiful piece of steel you lovingly crafted!
Very beautiful axe
