Forging Viking Age sickle, blacksmithing

Scrap metal replica #11- Forging of the Viking Age sickle.
Replica of the early-medieval (Viking age) sickle found in Grotniki (Poland).
To forge it I used two XIX rails. One was made of wrought iron and the second was made of steel.

Very nice job on the sickle there!

Czy to, czym posypałeś rozgrzany metal to wapno? Po co się to robi? Pytam z niewiedzy

To boraks czyli czteroboran sodu, to topnik który rozpuszcza tlenki żelaza, które są niepożądane podczas zgrzewania.
