Hand forging a viking style seax blade out k720 (aka O2) high carbon steel.
This project is a collaboration with "Epic Workshop".
Be sure to watch the handle that he made for this knife here:
• Seax Knife - Making of
And subscribe to his channe here:

Index of operation and materials:
0:30 Forging the tip
1:12 Isolating material for the tang
1:45 Hot cutting the tang
1:57 Forging the tang
2:25 Establishing bevels
3:21 Profiling with 2x72 belt grinder (annealed off camera)
4:20 Grinding bevels with my diy beveling jig
5:00 Refining bevels by hand with higher grit belts
5:30 Hardening. For k720 critical temperature is 820°C with a 10min soaking time
5:54 Quenching in vegetable oil
6:14 Tempering in oven at 200°C for 2hr
6:30 Hand sanding from 60 up to 320 grit
7:20 Grinding secondary bevel with 2x72 belt grinder
8:00 Stropping on a piece of leather with fine polishing compound
8:50 Checking hardness with a set of HRC hardness file tester. Came just under 65 HRC. K720 gets real hard. Great steel for knives.
If you notices some of my equipment is different compared to my other recent videos is because I recorded this project quite some months ago. That's also the reason why I'm working in short sleeves!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Nice work. I've never used a bevel jig but it seems like it would make it easier to keep consistent lines and not get the dreaded wobble.

Nothing has illustrated to me more how hot grinding gets than when I watched the water on the blade evaporate as you tidied up the edges! Amazing.

i, unfortunately, learned this the hard way. Luckily for me, my lizard brain is crazy fast and I dropped it before I registered the burning.

@mikefinto4048 5 жыл бұрын

Hardness testing files

@Ryan-np4rb 5 жыл бұрын

Like Mr. Finto said, they are hardness files. Each file goes up in the degree of hardness based on the Rockwell scale. At the HRC 65 file it started marring the surface of the knife indicating that the file was harder than the heat treated knife. This knife was prob around 63-65 HRC, depending on how well you trust the files, which is a very hard edge. Great for edge retention. Edge won’t dull as quickly.

Someone: "Hey, can you make me a knife?" Viking blacksmith: "You mean an axe?" Someone: "No. A knife. It's got a sharp edge and a handle--" Blacksmith: "Yes. An axe." Someone: "A _knife._ Here, I'll draw you a picture." Blacksmith: "Ahh, I see. Yes, I can make that." And that's how the seax was invented.
