I LIKE THE WAY YOU MAKE YOUR VIDEOS: YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY OR WITTY, AND YOU GO TO THE POINT. GOOD JOB.
Beautiful seax, no matter how you pronounce it! Sharp, solid and looks great!
No power hammer, no power tools... That's the way we want. Good job, you're a monster!!!!!!
Great video. I have more respect for people who forge rather than stock removal guys.
That hot fit you did for the guard? That's a great technique. I never thought to fit the guard that way before, makes perfect sense & perfect tight fit. I never stop learning something new. This is why it's good education to watch different Smiths.
came from your etsy store. you make beautiful knives
Mate, this is brilliant! I have a little bit of a seax obsession, I think this is the best I've seen for a while. Great authentic look to it, I'm so tired of all these over the top flashy seaxs with brass bolsters. Big fan of your channel - keep it up!
That's why I love the Seax. It's a simple, but versatile design. You can use it for most applications and they can be Forged out quickly.
I definitely need one
Here is the Seax knife video! I absolutely love mine and much happier with the replacement I got. Thanks again John.
I just finishd my first ever forging project - a seax. The guys teaching me mentioned you. Because of my recent experience and learning, I totally understood this vid. Mine is not nearly as nice ss yours but I am happy with it. Subbed
John, I like you just jump into the work. These guys how talk the job to death just kill me. I turn them off before they get to working!!! LOL! Good job John, l like the knife, looks good!
Great work simple and super inspiring. Made my day watching the video. Your charity work is SUPER as well.
Love that style of blade. Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Always great work! Learn alot thru ur videos
Love it thats a work of art
Pretty work.
Good job....good lookin' blade!!
Excellent knife, I made a seax from an old file and used a piece of pipe wrapped with leather for the handle and two nuts (rounded off where they meet the handle) for bolsters...I ground and polished out the blade to where you just barely see the lines of the file...doesn't look to bad, but I like the way you closed down on the bolsters...really enjoy your videos!
Really love the profile in the ricasso, i always worry about the straight blade to handle transition but that little curve you have in yours looks much more finger friendly.
Very nice ,John! Man you do good work . Always fun to watch. Nice Knife!
Thanks for the video!!
Very good work
Wow, first time I've seen it sunny in one of your videos.. it's like home here in Vancouver, BC area... Jeeze, the rain! One January a couple years back had 31 straight days of rain.. Like effing monsoon season...
Exelente trabajo .vi este vídeo varias veces para guiarme en mi primer seax vikingo
Nice job
Отличная работа!
Nice!
nicely done ;)
Sweet piece John it would be cool to grave some ruins on her but she's already hard. Martin
Nice
Very nice work i love your chanel! i am a little woried about the tip maybe needed a little more tempering i have made this mistake many times with my knifes becouse the tip is easy to overtemper you try to avoid that and end up with a very hard tip..
I am your 1500th subscriber
I went the no power tools for my first knife, never again
Enjoy all your videos what was the thickness of the blade thanks and have a blessed day
As always awesome work..were do u locate rod iron for these projects would like to find some to try
Brian Chadwell the wrought iron I used here came from an old wagon wheel rim
You mentioned another channel to purchase this with the sheath. What's the other channel and or do you have another like this knife?. It's beautiful.
That is an awesome blade would you say its a good knife for a beginner to make?
Odin All Father I would say so yes. Its pretty straight forward. It can be simplified or made really elaborate
I love the videos, please clean your lens though. It would make your vids look so much better. Keep up the good work.
Logan Sumrell I actually noticed that when I was editing haha. I’ve since cleaned it.
Old Hickory Forge yeah I noticed some of your beauty shots were much better. Didn't know if it was a different camera or not. I struggle with the same thing in the wood shop. I have caught it in post before.
Logan Sumrell yeah I do all my filming on my iPhone and I put it in and out of the pockets of my work pants with my dirty hands so much. I’ll definitely be taking greater care in the future
Just curious, why not put a reverse bend into the blade before hammering the bevels to counter the natural bending?
william731 you can. I just don’t like doing it that way. Depending on how long the blade is and how deep you forge your bevels you are probably going to still end up with a curve even if you forge in a recurve that you will have to correct so I just correct it as I go.
Did you get it that sharp from the belt grinder only? What grit did you go to?
Pickle I took it to 600 grit on the slack and then polished it on a leather strop
Pretty seaxy
What is the price on something like this ?
More vid
That’s sexy.
How much would you charge for a knife like that?
Tom Carver this one with a sheath went for 200
John how do I get to your store? I need this in my life! #phenomenalexample...
Dillon Corwin there’s a link to the Etsy in the description
It will be up for sale as soon as the sheath is done. Probably be early next week
Nordic pronunciation of Seax is Sax or Säx (Sæx)
i think its pronounced S-EE-X
nice build tho, that's the only criticism I have
