YA KNOW, THESE BOATS ARE SO SO ASTONISHING AND SUPERB DESIGN AND STRENTH. NO WONDER THE VIKINGS GOT THROUGH THE ICY CALLED NORTHEAST ALL THE WAY TO GREENLAND AND NEWFOUNDLAND POSSIBLY TO MASSACHUSETTS OR MAINE OR MAYBE EVEN UP THE HUDSON RIVER WHO KNOWS. AND OTHERS SAY THAT THE VIKINGS GOT TO MICHIGAN AND,,,,,,........... OH WAIT A MINUTE, EXCUSE ME FOLKS I HAVE TO GO TAKE A BIG DUMP IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN 🌊.

what is actually incredible? The fact that you dont know it's upside down.

Damned english tricked us good with that christianification gig...

nearly all tools and weapons in those days had a body of iron , or iron and steel rods twisted and forge welded together, and a steel cutting edge. Making iron by hand is a pain in the butt. we in the Guild of Metalsmiths do it once in a while, but it takes a group of 'smiths twp days or more to make ten pounds of iron. Making the iron into steel takes more time , and great skill.

ALL steel has carbon in it. below about .40% carbon , it won't get hard enough to hold an edge well. Above 0.8% it does not get harder or stronger. Above 1.1% or so, it get more brittle, but holds and edge a little better. Alloying elements like chrome , moly, and nickel increase strength and /or toughness. Add 14% or more chrome and you get stainless steel.

Had no idea they also had other kind of ships my lack of knoweledge on many topics is awesome

True craftsmanship and experience to do what they did and where they managed to sail to .

Incredible that Norwegian Vikingins spread the viking era from Lofoten (Lofotr) to the rest of the world! (and making settlements in other scandinavic countries on their way).

An amazing video of a group of people were special.......

Cats rode on these ships.

Great video! Also enjoyed seeing the picture of the Kvalsund Ship outside Sunnmøre Museum in my dear hometown Ålesund in Norway. Keep up the good work! Lots of details - appreciated! I wondered if the high stem and stern also served as protection from arrows - like an enourmous shield. That is not only to handle big waves without getting problems with green water - but also a great shield forward and aft. I must admit I haven't found any evidence to support this - but cannot help thinking that this was also a great thing with the ship design🤓

Could the longship design have been further refined?

Interesting, AI generated video lol

The Bearded Axe, was the outcome, of trying to make an axe with a long edge, using the least amount of Iron. Because in what we now know as Sweden, Norway and Denmark, are all iron pour. So you used just what you needed to make an axe. I have studied this as best as I can. Plus I've talked with a Viking reenactor who lives in Denmark, and makes some good RUclips video's, and he has confirmed my suspensions. But, yes the beard is good for hooking a shield and pulling it down, so the guy next to you could hack the shield holder.

Axes were not replaced by swords, but swords were used alongside the axes from the iron age to medieval times. Besides I think the bearded axe more owed its design to saving weight than achieveing weight. A heavy axhead is quite unwieldy and will feel unbalanced in your hands. But anyway, your axes look good!

he keeps saying 'carol engine' i dont think he knows what that means

The hole in the blade was nothing to do with throwing it was to tie a blade guard onto the blade. Try throwing a Dane axe and see how stupid it is.

This Viking worship really needs to stop, along with the hype and bullshit that comes with it. The axe is one of the earliest tools and weapons known to man... and no single version of it was specifically created by the Norse. In fact, all of the Germanic tribes used them, "bearded" and otherwise, long before the Vikings started raiding in the 9th century. Specifically, the Saxons, Friesians, Jutes, Angles, etc used them during raids on Roman-occupied Brittania. ...and that was a few centuries before the "Viking age". So do a bit of actual research, rather than taking tv shows and video games as historical fact.

!!!😊

Paráda!!!😊

Also for carpentry and making planks. Some of the oldest artifacts are in the style of a hewing axe with the longest flat beards to mill out planks. They were commonly well preserved because the craftsmen would take care of their tools and they were usually wrapped or encased.

Planck length

Thank you 😊

awesome

Beautiful swords.

Another excellent and informative video, thank you.

Really enjoyed this, thank you.

Who the heck made this video? Obviously doesn't know anything about axes.

Great video! Full of great information, and very detailed. Keep up the great work!

For EVERYONE Who Is Interested In Viking Age And Medieval Swords THEY MUST SEE Peter Johnsson's ''THE VIKING SWORD WHAT IT WAS AND WAS NOT'' This video should go VIRAL !!! But Read The Newest Comments First To Really Understand Peter Johnsson's Knowledge Of These Subjects.

Excellent description- from a boat builder

The ulfbert was the best of the so-called Viking swords

A sword is only useful in a fight,

see it was for me an interesting video 👍 some of it i did know, and some not, thanks for making it 😀 just subscribed

You should also look at the Gotlandic picturestones of Sweden. They are beautiful, some depict Viking ships :)

So repetitive....

🇩🇪🖖🏼☮🇺🇦🔱🕊🚜🚀🌉💥😎

god bless you for not having ads!

Ember orang atas tutupnya pandai besi . Secara betul kapak dua bukan tutup.

10% factual historical info... 90% fantastical claims of the power of dane axe & glorifying fantasy version of vikings.

cut through armor?

bla bla bla, no start, no end, randomly repeating same shit

Why not call the smiths what they were? These people were specialists and not blacksmiths. I would go as far as to call them sword smiths. As a craftsman, you know your field of knowledge and experience, so most of us will dedicate ourselves to one niche and branch slightly to others.

Thanks for an interesting video.

interesting video

I still say the bearded axe was made by dwarves... how else did the axe grow a beard?

This guy keeps contradicting himself and spouting false information.

Bad choice of imagery, and carolingian was not ever a contemporary term.
