Hand Forged from Reclaimed Coil Spring - Viking Maiden’s Knife
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2024
- Viking Maiden’s Knife, Blacksmith’s Knife, Emännänveitsi (Women’s Knife), this style goes by many names and has been around for many centuries, dating back as far as the Iron Age (500 - 12 B.C.). The details of the design are as varied between individual blades as there are smiths that have forged them but they all share the same long curved tang/handle characteristic. This is our own interpretation of the knife, hand forged from reclaimed coil spring to be an elegant and functional cutting tool for practical use.

I enjoyed watching, thanks for the video.
I am a beginner blacksmith, at 50 years old. Fantastic video, very through. New supporter!! 👍👍👍
The beauty of this viking maiden knife will get you sprung for sure😏👍
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.
awesome knife i love the polish
Beautiful work
Very nice !😀👍
Complimenti bravo👍
Brother Jake your work is always impressive. Awesome!!!
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!
turned out great!
Very stunning!
Love it. Hope all is well my friend.
Beautiful work!
great work
Una verdadera obra de arte
Nice Blacksmith knife👍
Que gran video , hago cuchilleria Artesanal , saludos desde Ecuador
What a beautiful work of functional art. And subscribed!
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!
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.
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...
New subscriber, really like your videos, it seems you guys can make anything out of nothing.
Beautiful what are you getting for them I am 😍 interested
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.
Subbed
Thank you!

Who did you reclaim the spring from? Did they put up much of a fight?
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.
@@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
@@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.
@@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.
You showed a lot but didn't show a lot.
Nice work.
Не столько практичный нож, сколько винтажный..👍
