Just when I think “ He just made the most beautiful sword I have ever seen”, which I do after nearly every one of his videos, he makes an even MORE beautiful one. There can’t be many smiths in the world as talented and creative as him.
Having watched all of your videos it's really nice to see how your leather work has come along. From only relying on adhesives to full stitching and multiple layers of detail. Your scabbards really have started to complement all the work you put into the blades.
The best Artisan Blacksmith I ever seen!!! Great job from the start to the end!!! You have a lot fans here in Spain.Thanks for share. Congratulations!!!
It's just perfect! I love forge and love to watch people how are truly skilled. Congrats, this sword was amazing. Every detail that you put in it are great! Great job!
Good to see you are still forging swords. I wish I could afford to buy a blade from you some day, one of my biggest daydreams actually. You are doing an amazing job.
Su trabajo es esquicito, usted lo hace ver de forma tan fácil que si uno no supiese el trabajo que cuesta crear una obra como esa uno, podría pensar que es muy sencillo. Mis respetos caballero y por favor continúe deleitándonos con su arte.
I'm sure the author must have spent countless hours contemplating at the difficulty and shear skill his predecessors must have had to do the same job using much more primitive tools. Amazing work my friend!
час глядел не отрываясь-вот где руки то золотые!!!!! я понимаю-оборудование инструменты....но здесь весь процесс и ковка и склеивание и сшивание-МОЛОДЕЦ!!!!!
Hi Freerk Wierninga extremely skilled blacksmith that viking sword is amazing it's a true work of art/craftsmanship I'd love a sword like that it's beautiful to look at and capable of the job. A great deal of respect to you keep up the exerlent work
This result is something to be proud of!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There's not much that beats that special peace of mind working with metal, wood or leather in this way, gives . . . .
I would never get sick of watching this bloke , I doubt if there would be too many Smithys like him left . I bet he's from Norway or Denmark . Good stuff mate
@@Airkoay The title says "pattern welded." Pattern welding is combining multiple layers of different metal, forge welding them together to make a pattern.
@@Airkoay Agreed. The craftsmanship is not in question. The OP was asking when the different pieces of steel were forge welded together because the video did not show this process.
Could somebody explain why he dimples the steel in the process? I am fascinated at the process. I love swords and own a few yet none is as good as the least of your works. You make it look so easy.
Wow that is one beautiful sword lots of talent you are good master of your trade subscribe to you will be watching beautifully done thank you for your talent and this video.🕶
Or the ones who can actually FORGE a sword, and know about them more than "wow it looks badass". Here you can see pressing, drilling, grinding, but only little forging. First HUGE mistake is hot fitting crossguard to already heat treated blade - it causes shitload of stress, and blade will snap under the crossguard sooner or later. Pattern on the blade is nice... ...but "vikings" never used this type of pattern, just look at originals. More often it was pattern welded fuller, and high quality steel edges. Third mistake is handle length - look at 36:06. You could easily get fifth finger on that grip, and it should be tight. It's also too thick. Fourth mistake is the way he riveted the pommel. It's 2 piece pommel, so the first half should be riveted to the blade, and then the decorative end should be riveted to the other part by 2 rivets on the sides. Also look how decorative crossguards, pommels, and handles are in this perioid of time. Steel was expensive back then, and such sword was serious value to the owner, so the whole thing should be incrusted or at least engraved. Sure, with time they become simpler, but not in this style of swords. Do i think he did shitty sword? HELL NO! I know how much work and time you have to spend on this type od work. But i also don't think "Forging a pattern welded Viking sword" is the adequate title to the video. It should be more like "Fabricating Viking inspired sword". Cheers. :)
@@atexc5604 Fairly true, a bit stubborn as most will see it but, fair none the less, well, to those who know what your talking about ;) Agreeable that the heading could be changed of what he was actually making, and sure these swords weren't made in such ways. But god damn, the sword turned out pre sexy
@@atexc5604 I'm really grateful for this comment of yours. Cuz when a person watches someone put that ton of effort into something he thinks:"Yeah, this guy really knows what he's doing". But my inquisitive mind always asks me:"Is this the perfect way this should be done, or there is some part of misleading information introduced unintentionally?". And the process of hot fitting the crossguard actually did arise a question inside my head (not really experienced in the ways of forging of course):"Why did i never see it before in any videos of forging anything? Seems like a genious way of doing it!". Now i know it's not and thank you for that!
57: 29 seconds! it takes the video but the process is long-lasting I wonder how long the Vikings took to forge a sword? especially when they were preparing for war anyway a good job
traditionally with no power tools, depending on how ti's made could take anywhere from a few days, weeks, maybe even months, it all depended on the talent of the smith
I had to stop watching at the very end because I'm getting urges just looking at video of this sword and I'm pretty sure I can't afford it to play with it.
What a freakin work of art, blew me away the pattern welding was flawless
This was an amazing hour of high quality craftsmanship in metal, wood and leather, excellent work!
Thanks!

I have never seen this much of dedication, accuracy in each and every aspect of making the viking sword. He is truly professional. Amazing video.

I keep watching this. Over and over and over again. I learn something new every time.
You are a ARTIST in all sense of the word, you treat the metal and wood like it was a part of you. Thank you

There's not much that beats that special peace of mind working with metal, wood or leather in this way, gives . . . .
Great video. Longer than I normally watch, but the process for very interesting to see. Makes the final product all the more impressive to see.
That was so clever, forging a dye to create the fuller. Must have saved a ton of work and headaches. Cheers, dude.
The craftsmanship on the sword goes without saying. I'd like to point out the quality work on the scabbard -- it looks _amazing_ !
100% with you on that it's a beauty and more than capable of doing the job That man is an extremely talented craftsman/blacksmith

So true So true
Perfection throughout. A true craftsman.
I would never get sick of watching this bloke , I doubt if there would be too many Smithys like him left . I bet he's from Norway or Denmark . Good stuff mate
And then suddenly, a guy in RUclips crafts the most beautiful Viking sword I have ever seen..
That is an absolutely gorgeous sword. What masterful work.
So when did multiple layers of metal get put together to make the pattern weld? All I saw was grinding, drilling and pressing.
He never said about welding multiple layers of metal together?
Pattern welding isn't modern welding its basically just working the metal to where it gets that ripple showing in the iron.
@@Airkoay The title says "pattern welded." Pattern welding is combining multiple layers of different metal, forge welding them together to make a pattern.
@@kylarietes Well, that's my mistake. Still a very well craftsmanship put together.
@@Airkoay Agreed. The craftsmanship is not in question. The OP was asking when the different pieces of steel were forge welded together because the video did not show this process.
What a great work with a great skill supperb outstanding 👍👑
Not a lot of people make or bother showing how to make the scabbard, I love it!
Non ho parole!!!! Un lavoro magnifico bellissima spada. Bravissimo.
Awesome sir. Enjoyed full viking sword series. U got some super skills
Good
Could somebody explain why he dimples the steel in the process? I am fascinated at the process. I love swords and own a few yet none is as good as the least of your works. You make it look so easy.
Делал с душою сразу видно , низкий поклон за работу и за ваш показной труд !!!
не слишком длинный для одноручника ?
@@batersman И хрен я поверю, что он сбалансирован)
Кругом одни косплейщики
You are a superb craftsman. 🇬🇧👍
How much for a sword like that and how much time you spent to forge it? Cheers, mate! Great job!
wondering that too. would love to buy one
@@mataiiio me too
@Joe I emailed him. he said it's about $1500-$2000. as I figured. seems worth it tho
@@mataiiio I'd pay that for one like that anyday it's a beauty of a sword and definitely more than capable of doing the job
Nice shop set up. Makes it almost easy for you. Thousand yrs ago it would have taken a real long time to make that sword.
Do you sell these and or take orders how much for this one ? Love your work and craftsmanship
Te pasaste locura, un trabajo PERFECTO..!!! 👏👏👏👏
in-freakin-credible. what a work of art..... Unreal.
What an utterly incredible sword. 👍🇬🇧

Same as i want one just like that it's a beauty of a sword and definitely more than capable of doing the job
Превосходно! Как всегда круто.
Masterfully done! Even the scabbard looks awesome!
The ppl who disliked this video,are the super jealous types lmao 🤣
Here here they sure are.
I am super jealous as well... But I liked the video. I am however, totally jealous.

Hello, your follower from Iraq, your job is sweet
That sheath is so awesome
Simply amazing craftsmanship, any Norseman would be proud to own
He Freerk,
Would you ever consider selling some of the swords you create?
Start auction. Who give 2000 $
Quel Travail Fantastique !!! what a fantastic work !!! great artist !
Really impressive.
Awesome craftsmanship.
Are you a Viking?
Well he's Dutch so maybe?
❤Very beautiful magnificence
Beautiful work of art.
It is so beautifull ！！
Beautiful work from a real artist.
57: 29 seconds! it takes the video
but the process is long-lasting
I wonder how long the Vikings took to forge a sword?
especially when they were preparing for war
anyway
a good job
traditionally with no power tools, depending on how ti's made could take anywhere from a few days, weeks, maybe even months, it all depended on the talent of the smith
A beautiful piece of swordsman-ship. Well done.
اكو عرب بالطياره 🌚😂

You Sr, you are the best 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I had to stop watching at the very end because I'm getting urges just looking at video of this sword and I'm pretty sure I can't afford it to play with it.
Truly awesome piece of work.
теперь в передачу между молотом и наковальней -- тест на прочность и на остроту !!!
Man. You got a new hammer and those red gloves look pretty new too. That's gotta feel nice!
A fine blade indeed. You are a true master of your craft good sir.
This sword is beautiful, kudos sir, kudos.
