Could you show in another video how to make a pair of those leather clamps? They are great, I have never seen them before

@RAMUNI-Viking 3 ай бұрын

Yes sure i can do that. I Will keep it it mind and at some point make a guide:) the ones i use here is replicas from Hedeby and Are great for holding small projects. Both 2 pieces of leather like here, i also used it for birch bark and for holding a flat piece of antler while filing.

It undoubtedly lacks a leather spacer taken in the seam that is called "martyr" because it receives the edge and protects the seam. A hard leather from an old leather shoe sole is very good because it is usually pressed leather but you can also find a leather 8mm thick and hammer to compact it to 5mm. Hard to pierce, it will be hard to cut by the knife and will protect your case for a long time by giving it a better rigidity which will keep it straight when you put your knife in the case. When it twists, often to the rounding, the case may be pierced by the tip of the knife. I also advise you to collect tree resin and mix it hot with beeswax to seal the deer merrain of the knife handle because moisture brings inconveniences. I have been forging knives and making cases for 15 years. Keep your mind on ancient and noble materials.

Hello:) thank you so much for the feedback and advice. I understand your view on a spacer but most knife sheaths from the Viking age did not have this. For 10 years doing Viking reenactment and bushcraft i have not had a knifesheat with a spacer and also not hat a knife cut through the stitches. I try also to be careful when sheathing my knifes. I suppose i have been lucky because i totally see your point and value your advice an Experienced craft man. And probably one Day i will destroy a sheath by cutting because there was No spacer. So i will keep this in mind. Making reconstructions is always a balance between authenticity and safety and pragmatics. I would love to hear more about sealing the antler. This i have not heard of and I am curious to know what you mean:) thanks for watching and taking the time to write.

Lovely work as always my friend! I really admire your authenticity, and your commitment to not just traditional materials, but to using traditional glues and tools too. It's very impressive, and such a wonderfully tactile and "real" object to hold in your hands when you're done. I love that feeling of holding and using something unique that I have made with my own hands. And with the animals coming to visit again, this looks like a wonderfully relaxing way to spend a day out in the woods! 😀 Thank you for sharing, and I eagerly look forward to watching your next projects! (Any ideas as to what you're planning next? 😅 )

Thank you Ingvar. Im happy you enjoyed the video and I can totally feel what you mean with the real and tactile object. Its a great satisfaction. Making things as authentic as possible is sometimes very complicated or at least time consuming but its very rewarding. I can say as much that im planning something with muscled and oisters, different light Sources and having another go with the forge i made. Maybe not in that order, and sometimes inspiration decides what happens:) thank for being part of the journey my friend

As always, nicely done. One of the things I found interesting about these types of sheaths is that they were usually suspended by a thong rather than a strap as you find in present times. Upon everyday use I find the thong is more useful because you can vary how far the knife hangs from your belt by doubling or tripling it over before putting it through your belt , thus allowing it more versatility in keeping the sheath to hand.

@RAMUNI-Viking 8 ай бұрын

Hello Peter. Thats an interesting point. I personally prefer the thong as well. In terms of using the least amount of material back in the time a thong would be the obvious choise. But nowadays maybe the strap is a bit more durable and safe? Another point is that we do not know if all the sheaths found were intended for wearing at the belt. I know some primitive bushcrafters who prefer to have the knife on a longer leather thong around their shoulder like a small purse. Again its all just guessing. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and write your comment:) all the best

Great work. I like that you work in nature and not in a workshop. I was curious which version of the decoration you would choose, because there are some very nice finds in Hedeby. By the way, the intro song is absolutely great and I could stand listening to it for hours 😀

@RAMUNI-Viking 8 ай бұрын

Thank you:) I dont remeber which article number it is I chose. And as I did not have my book with me i not sure about the excact number of Lines and Dots. So a light interpretation. But yes indeed there are many Nice sheaths from Hedeby. Im happy to hear you like the intro music. I recorded it my self on my home made Hurdy Gurdy. The tune is an old danish time called Ramund Den Unge.

@Foxy-ie9rt 8 ай бұрын

@@RAMUNI-Viking I thought I had heard that tune somewhere before, but I wasn't sure where 😀 I watched the video where you described the process of making Hurdy Gurdy. I tip my hat to you. I'm thinking about the tagelharp at most. The hurdy gurdy is already too complicated an instrument for me.

@RAMUNI-Viking 8 ай бұрын

Again, thanks:) appreciate that you take the time to watch my videos. Tagelharpe is an awesome instrument. My next instrument is the rebec from Hedeby. But I have a long list of things i want to make so it could be a while. All the best
