Great Work! Just a quick note, such knives were never used by Vikings, but by Celts and some Slavs. Vikings, including their women, used knives with wooden handles, similar to the "seax" blades used by Saxons, only smaller.
Would you have a citation for that, I would actually kinda like to reference a few more historical knives to see if there is anything to learn. It is pretty hard for me to find references for knives of this style that predate the 20th century.
@@garethbaus5471 there are very few Viking women's graves with significant grave good in them and none that I am aware of that have this style of knife in them, nor in men's graves for that matter, it is however a cool blade, I have made a couple of them and they are not so easy to make a good job of
@@garethbaus5471 it is as far as I can see a recentish thing from the smithing world, I am relatively new as a bladesmith but have studied a fair bit about it and the Viking/Saxon period and there is no evidence of these knives I can find beyond around 70 years back
@@andyc750 There are 1 or 2 illustrations from archeological finds I have seen, but so far as I can tell they are mostly a modern product. Iron and steel were both pretty valuable for most of human history, and hidden tang knives can get a usable product while using less metal so all metal knives were pretty rare.
I enjoyed watching, thanks for the video.
The beauty of this viking maiden knife will get you sprung for sure😏👍
I am a beginner blacksmith, at 50 years old. Fantastic video, very through. New supporter!! 👍👍👍
That's a beauty! Now I know what I will make my daughter's for next Christmas. Thank you for sharing!!
I worked in the blacksmith shop at Black Creek Pioneer Village for a few years. Looks a lot like a patch knife.
Brother Jake your work is always impressive. Awesome!!!
Beautiful work
Now THAT's a blacksmith. When he says "hand forged," he meant it. None of this die grinder or cut-off tool crap to get the shape right, he FORGED IT.
Excellent work Smith!

You are right, I would love to see their sources of this type of handle.
As far as we know, they didn't had steel handle at the Vikings age...
Beautiful work. Wow! Takes me back in time. Me personally I wouldn’t have polished it and left it more with forge scale on it. But looks amazing!
Complimenti bravo👍

New subscriber, really like your videos, it seems you guys can make anything out of nothing.
beautyfull!!!!!
Nice looking patch knife. Why do you call it a Viking maiden’s knife though? It’s very 17-19th century looking.

Is that pine charcoal? I used pine as well for forging.

that is a blacksmiths knife, nothing in the historical record to say that Viking women carried them, nice build though
Although a few examples exist there are relatively few surviving examples of blacksmiths knives from any era.

@@andyc750 I am not aware of any either, I also have had a hard time finding very many of them in other regions and times.

You showed a lot but didn't show a lot.
Nice work.
Не столько практичный нож, сколько винтажный..👍
