I would like to give a huge thank you to the historic Quamby Estate for access to their incredible hotel for the filming of the closing shots. If you're ever visiting Tasmania's beautiful Northern ranges, please consider staying with them. It's an experience you won't forget!

The amazing music in this video is from an incredibly obscure Australian/Irish folk band called "The Celts". Unfortunately they're so obscure they have nothing I can link you to, but I have had a deep love for their music since I first saw them live on stage as a child.
Finally! Excellent, time to settle in for a watch, solid music choice straight off :)
Haha enjoy
Incredible! Defiantly one of my favorite builds of yours!
Spectacular sword and a fantastic homage to the build with this video
Thank you!
Well done mate, you're an inspiration 👏
Thank you so much 😀
The brass Shoe, boot what ever you want to call it on the scabbard is sweet! love how you did that!
I've been waiting for this video!!!! So well done. This is a masterpiece, and you recorded your journey beautifully. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A rather unique way to honor those who served, @ValhallaIronworks!
Dude, what a super enjoyable video to watch I hope someday I can obtain half the skills you have at Blade making great work brother!
Thank you very much!
awesome to see all the insta content come together, great build!
Glad you enjoy it!
Having made one of these myself (on my channel), I know what goes into them and it's not easy. A very challenging grind on the blade since its so thin. Great build!
Been working so I didn't get to sit and watch the whole thing, what I saw was pretty sweet looking. Gonna have to rewatch after work tonight.
This is a masterpiece. Next level work. Probably the most impressive build I've ever seen.
Thank you!
You are a master craftsman, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all.
This is indeed a museum quality piece that will be looked upon with awe for many years.
I look forward to seeing what you do next!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Ace it! …well done mate, superb build 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work mate. Beautifully done. Shout out to Mrs Alex for her input.🙂👍🤘
Mrs Alex did an excellent job!
Wow! The work you put into this is impressive! I hope my first sword looks 1/10th this good. Ive only made a couple of pizzas cutters out of railroad spring clips, and about a dozen spike knives.
Sounds good! Keep at it! It's all about doing it for the joy of it!
It's beautiful and you did a masterful job making it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you! Cheers!
This is so beautiful, and you made such a good video,you made art sir.thanks for letting us witness it.
Thank you for watching!
The sword looks beautiful 😍😍
Thank you!
That gemmed bronze butt cap is fantastic!
Definitely a high point in your career, may be out done later but still one of the highs. Very detailed and all came together beautifully. Great work
I appreciate that! I really did have so much fun making it!
Outstanding, thank you.
You're very welcome!
Masterpiece ❤❤❤
well done!
Thank you!
Very nice! I didn’t realise you are Australian till I saw the old International Roast can. 🤣🤣❤️
haha the symbol of our people!
Former US Navy here and I would like to congratulate you on a job well done. Bravo Zulu.
Thank you!
With every build video, I am more humbled, and amazed.
Well done my friend. Very well done.
Thank you very much!
Even the shipping container was museum quality.
I wanted them to have a nice way to display it! Thanks!
Magneficent ser. Forging a 1000 layer damascus viking sword making please.
Need to find someone willing to pay for it first! 😂
@@ValhallaIronworks Yes. If I were there I would buy It.
As a US veteran I greatly appreciate the time and care you took in making this museum quality piece. I would be interested to know how many times and which pieces you had to make twice (or more). 😉
Haha actually only one! And it was because I changed my mind on its appearance!
Amazing work how long have you been working on that 😁😁👍👍👍
It was around ten weeks of work spread over 5 months! Thank you!
È stato incredibile,saluti dall Italia🔥ho visto che hai uno spaccalegna più potente a scoppio,quanto è 20 tons?
Yes! 20! It's not mine, though. I borrowed it from a friend for this project.
@@ValhallaIronworks con uno spaccalegna così secondo te si può fare anche mosaici?
The video is interesting to watch, but the music made me want to stab my ears. I fast forwarded a bit, hoping it would stop, but the songs kept getting worse. I had to stop watching half way through.
There's a mute button down the bottom. I'd probably hate the music you listen to. It's all a subjective thing.
I saw three things that you could have done better. First off you could have made that sword combat ready by making sure that handle will never come off that blade but you apparently made a rat tail and screwed it in. Secondly the Box since you made this for a Warrior who undoubtedly has seen combat you would want to make the Box a little bit better for example the outside looks pretty good but if you would have burnt and singed some of the paint and some areas considering these are decorated combat veteran active or retired that you are presenting this to. Thirdly the Cradle in the box that you made you could have put at least some felt underneath where The Sword and the Scabbard would fit so that it wasn't just jiggling around on basically what is satin covered wood which isn't all that good for the blade or the Scabbard. So you should have put some sort of felt or foam down just to be safe and to make sure it stays safe. Other than that everything looks amazing and I would definitely pay what you were asking except I would ask you to make it combat ready permanently bonding the handle to the blade by leaving enough Tang to put a counterweight and then peen the tang and rivet it to the counterweight on the handle permanently bonding it making it combat ready.... As a military sword should be!🫡
Before I read your unsolicited advice, what qualifications do you have that would make your comments worth paying attention to, especially when no advice was asked for?
@ValhallaIronworks Well..... Because 12 of my family members have worked for Angel Blade Works in Texas. The only reason why I haven't is because I like to get stoned as hell. So I am a blacksmith a farrier an edgemaster meaning of I have a working knowledge of every single edged weapon in existence I am a Carpenter and almost every man in my family has been in the armed forces. Some never came home, and I know for a fact that if you're making something heirloom quality, you don't half-ass it add cut corners. Because someone in the family will notice and they will spread the seed and that family will like the work you did on the wall hanger they commissioned from you but the decorative and commemorative box that you made for them is of let's say Middle School woodshop quality. You went 97% of the way. And called it good. You couldn't have taken the time to go the extra 3% and possibly an extra 10% to make it an even 110% and make it so in transit the Scabbard or the blade or the Box itself doesn't get damaged by adding felt or foam and decorative straps to hold it down while in transit. But instead of having that kind of intelligence and fortitude and saying thank you for the idea you decided to be a dick and cop an attitude with somebody whose family has been doing what you're doing since before there was a United States of America. My family actually made combat sabers the French Revolution Napoleon's men swords for Nordic Swedish and danish royalty the carpenters in my family donated their time and effort and their finances to volunteer their skills for rebuilding of the inside of Notre Dame. My family also makes puzzle desks sort of like the ones that you have probably seen in National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets. My family has made them for royalty heads of state diplomats, business tycoons, and philanthropists all over the world. We also make tables desks, chairs, picture frames shelves TV and nightstands, all with secret hidden compartments. If you like, you can see a good amount of our work under a myriad of names on Etsy and Amazon. Although we do not talk personal family business to other people because we also are competitive and don't want any outsiders to ruin our family fun trying to one up each other. So if you do go on Etsy and start asking around, it won't matter who you ask. Nobody will tell you anything about our family other than what our products are and what they're worth and I have about 35 unbelievably skilled people in my family working for the business and most of us have different last names. So those are just half of a page of my 16-page credentials. Here's just a short list of my families references the late Queen Elizabeth King Charles a couple Lords in his court the Crown Prince William and even his mother the late Princess Diana Gerald Ford Ike Eisenhower George Bush senior and Junior Obama Bill and Hillary Clinton Joe Biden Donald Trump and several prominent politicians high-ranking military foreign and domestic and several prominent Hollywood Stars and even his Royal Excellency Sheikh Hamdan bin Muhammad bin bin Rashid Al Maktoum has entire houses filled floor to ceiling with our products and/or handiwork. Someone that comes to me telling you that you could do better just know that you are grade school compared to my PhD doctorate level education when it comes to your hobby that I made into an actual business and with my family together made an Empire I think you should shut douche loser mouth and stick to making your mediocre products. Cuz in my family we make 1,000 % functional full-blooded live combat tools of War that just so happened that you can pass them down from generation to generation and turn it into a family heirloom because our products are Beyond heirloom quality. Yours you couldn't even cut through a styrofoam block without breaking. Every single one of our blades is brutally tested against a big block of Ironwood and then a Viking Shield just to be safe. That's how strong and how durable our products are. Remember douche nozzle, there's always somebody out there who is bigger and better and tougher than you. And you are a little Chihuahua going up against a kangal mixed with a Caucasian mountain shepherd. In this fight, you stand no chance. So next time when you come across somebody who's trying to give you sound ideas for next time, say that's a good idea. I appreciate the inspiration, and I will keep that in mind for my next project. Thank you! Let me ask you this. Have you even studied how to be a blacksmith or did you just watch forged in Fire and decided you can do that too because you're going through a midlife crisis and can't afford even your cheapest most basic model of Corvette? Because judging by your videos all you make is wall hangers from cheap sheet metal that you cut out with a hacksaw put to the grinder to shape the useless blade polish it up and then put a cheap weak inferior handle on what would be a piece of just about useless metal that identifies as a sword! I really truly could have helped you and your business immensely. But your arrogance will cost you greatly and you don't even know it. So don't quit your day job. Because your midlife crisis hobby will not pay your bills....
Yes but what qualifications do you have to tell me how to do my job, when you know nothing about me, my circumstances, my processes or the details of what the customer asked for this commission. You've made a slew of assumptions to write your initial comment. Also, once again, I never asked your opinion. Don't offer advice to someone without them asking for it. It's just rude.
Also, you need a new hobby. You spent all that time to write reams and reams of nonsense and I just wanted you to know that I didn't read any of it. You did it for nothing.
@@ValhallaIronworks You're a bogan! I never completely expect Australians to know how to read considering the highest level of high school education in most of Australia is equivalent to the 5th or 6th grade United States! But honestly what are your qualifications to question me about my Master Craftsman advice other than you watching a few seasons of forged in fire on the History Channel?
