Nice to see this tool being created and it was an honor to test this carving axe. I axed out a few spoon blanks and quite liked how it performed in stock removal as well as the finer to the design line cuts and slices. Just two days ago I sent it on to the next carver/tester ... Odyssey is well named.
What a pro you have become, Nisse! Remarcabel broad and deep knowledge you are showing about axes. Inspiring and impressive. Your process seams effective and accurate. Wich you and yours all the best! Andreas
Very nice carving axe, love your videos, they are well produced and very informative. That big belt grinder you’re using looks like a useful addition to the workshop, would like to have one myself. Regards from Down Under.

Thank you very much! I got it from my friends over at Nord Forge
Hello, I really enjoyed your video , the way you made the axe totally by hand & the " Hot RASPING " , it was very clever workmanship , Blacksmithing , Thank you . I collect Heritage axes & have a SATAR BANKO , very old , it was my late father's. Best wishes , ROBBIE , New South Wales , Australia .
I love watching blacksmithing videos. The only knives I've ever made were from stock removal and just as a hobby. But I had a question I always wondered about blacksmithing. Does the steel on your blacksmithing tools lose its hardness over time since it's so often touching red hot steel? Always wondered about that.

I use steel that has some air hardening capabillities. Sure I have to dress them some times but thats rare. So the right steel for the job helps alot
5:35 I thought a good Viking like you would be using a small 2 handle draw knife instead of that potato peeler. :) This would be a fun axe to carve out some small totem poles with. The heavy butt on the handle is really nice as a hold and a bit of a counterweight.
Love your videos! You are very talented and Im very grateful for your black linseed oil tip! Would you ever consider making a Pulaski head if you had the time and inclination? From Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada. Keep up the great work!

Yes I am up for most models. Its all about timing and other plans
Did you make the drifts and all the hammers you use? Just curious. In most blacksmith/bladesmith videos, the drifts just magically appear. I am wondering what material they are made of.
Год назад
Yes I made them my self. I make a few drifts every year as they get worn out. I make them from 4340 steel. i have a video where I make one.
Love the shape of these axes, and your take on the carved handle was the mutts nuts! How was the ash as a handle, I have a fair bit of ash so was thinking of trying it out! TFS, GB :)

I have no idea what mutts nuts means :D Ash is a beautiful wood to work with.
Hi, Nils! Great job! What you thing about this forge lube by Torbjörn Åhman and why you don't use it? ruclips.net/video/a7jMNNbTUbA/видео.html Greetings from Bulgaria!

I think its a brilliant idea. I will have him show me how to make it when I visit him soon.
Для такого массивного топора рукоять неправильная. У любого топора для уменьшения отдачи рукоять походит через перпендикуляр вектору удара. У длинной рукояти это не главное потому что за счёт длины угол уменьшается. У короткого топорища как это комфортно рубить будет только пяткой.

Very nice! If I were a carver I would jump on that Odyssey immediately! :)
🤩
As always this was an enjoyable video and a great axe. I'm really enjoying your presentation style.
Thank you John!

Great to see you happy again doing what you love. All the best to the family.
Thank you very much!
Damn your an incredible axe maker, and a true inspiration to me.
How clean and exact your forging work straight off the anvil is amazing.
Beautiful! I hope I get to see it along it's journey!
Thank you for sharing your skills and swedish legacy with us!🙏🙏🙏

Very nice. I do a lot of carving. Bowls, Spoons and Kuksas. Look like a very nice allround Carver.
Thank you!
love this work, so much more personal
Började precis titta på dina videos, vilka kanonfina yxor och otroligt bra videos :-)
Wonderful and informative video... Thanks for sharing.... Keep up the great work....

I'm part Norwegian...;)
@ I was thinking as a warrior, not nationality. Hopefully, I didn't offend.
Amazing stuff !!! Did you learn it all by yourself?
You mean blacksmithing?
Yes :)
@@gabsta123 Yes! I am self taught but I have met some very nice people during my journey that have helped me. Given me critique and mentorship etc.
Here is the link:

Any idea when these axes are going to be available? Are they still being tested?

Thank you Jared!
Great video, thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you very much!
Nice video Nils! What kind of finish do you use to blacken the axes in the end? Is it a finish you can use an all kind of forged steels?
Its raw linseed oil mixed with iron oxide pigment. Works on all forged textures
Tuatahi racing stile axe next?
Very nice video, thanks!
Thank you!
Hi quick question what is that powder you use when punching the eye and why do you do it
Its charcoal powder. Its acts like a lube so that the punch dont get stuck
Väldigt härligt att titta på fint smide. Vad var det för tjärliknande ytbehandling du la på yxhuvudet i slutet av videon?
Det är en egen mix av linolja och järnoxid pigment
Много добра брадвичка.
what do you use to make your drifts? I'm interested in making a war hammer and an axe, but don't have any drifts...
I personally love 4340 for making drifts. I like it way more than h13

Yes I made them my self. I make a few drifts every year as they get worn out. I make them from 4340 steel. i have a video where I make one.
I will go look for it. Thank you.
