I forged this "viking" knife. I thought it was a historic design but in fact it is a design by Dutch Smith and artist Thijs Van de Manakker, he designed it in the 80s. Based on a early medieval and Roman Knife design. Since then it is made all over the world as a authentic medieval knife. Thijs Van de Manakker did allot for the historical reenactment world and deserves credit and recognition for allot of designs and historical research.

I love making these! You make it look really easy though! It really takes me a couple of hours to make one. I always fiddle around with the length of the handle instead of doing it the way you did it. You left it long and just cut off the excess after bending, that worked out great! I also liked that you used thicker stock to begin with, I think that will sit in the hand better than the ones made of thinner stock! Great work as always! Cheers from the USA

Nice job friend, I swear by my statement to anyone I speak about knives to, the knife is by far the most important tool man ever invented and possibly was the first, Primarily used for hunting then as we got "smarter" it was used for more nefarious purposes like hunting each other, still the basic shape and basic use hasn't really changed from paleolithic/neolithic times, and it's great to see a master craftsman like yourself making these tools, keep up the good work 👍

That is a beautiful knife there sir. The title is misleading though. That's no simple knife there. I've watched plenty of forging videos so I know that Damascus steel is no easy trick. It takes a lot of effort to make it happen. The knife is a real piece of fine art that is usable though. Great job!!!!!!! I hope one day to be able to do such a project myself. As it is I am just now starting out in my black smith endeavors but I hope to get where you are currently at one day

@stevenscott2136
@stevenscott2136 3 жыл бұрын
Probably a tempering oven. After quenching, steel is super-hard and brittle, so he heats it moderately for a prolonged time to soften it a little. This way it will handle more abuse and be easier to re-sharpen when necessary. They never show this on Forged in Fire -- maybe because it's the boring part.
