- Very rusty medieval battle axe restoration. This rusty battle ax was found in a field. Ax of the 8th-9th century, early Slavs. The ax lay underground for 1,200 years. The ax was very rusty and damaged. I decided to restore the ax. Removed the rust and restored the blade. Made an ax handle. I hope you liked my restoration.

At first glance, I would never have thought that restoration was possible. You definitely pulled that one out of the fire. Good job.
If was that old, it should be in a museum and grinder with power tools
*_Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕_*
Restoration Master Class👏👍🪓
Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪😉
I can picture a soldier saying, "That's a fine axe, I'll take it, how much?"
Моя вподобайка завжди с тобою. Ти ні коли нездаеся. Гарна робота.
It seems to me that if it really is a medieval axe, removing the rust would have been enough.
I'm sure the original owner of this ax would be proud to see what a great job you've done with your restoration.
is fake axe
@@xdavil1 Link proof then
@@xdavil1 The dude is from Ukraine and goes metal hunting. I don't think its so far-fetched that he'd find something medieval.
I really like how this turned out, I figured it was too far gone to ever look that nice! Great work!
A Battle axe? Really, those must been tiny ppl fighting tiny battles. 😅
Great video, but I don't know. If it was really from the Midieval times, you'd think it'd be in a museum. I always thought restoring older things like this actually harmed it and it's value.
Stuff like this is pretty common apparently. A relative bought me a 4th century knife from the Roman Empire as a gift.
nice job.🔧🔩🔨⛓️⚔️⚒️⛏️🛠️👍
I literally forged one last week and finished it today!
If these are very commonplace then what he did was a fun and interesting experiment. But if this was a rare artifact, I would have stopped at the rust removal. The moment metal was added it no longer has any archeological value. Personally, if it was me, I would have only done the electrolysis and other chemical de-rusting combined with wire brushing to clean it up then make as realistic a handle as possible just to show what it might have been like then frame and display it as an ancient artifact. I did something like that with some old bronze spear heads. They are now at the tips of several ash rods and on a rack in my office. At this point he now has a very nice decorative piece that more or less looks something like it might have a few centuries ago.
Thank you for this comment. This was destruction not restoring. Very sad! At least he didnt melt iron to make new cast!
Looked bad, but now you made it beautiful again.
Maybe before you restore some medieval or ancient buried stuff, call an archeologist to determine it is it real
The whole story is extraordinary. And to watch this restoration was a great pleasure. Bravo!
Holy History Batman ... this was anazing.
A battle axe? A real weapon of mass destruction! 😆
Гарна робота…. Успіхів
👍👏🦾🦾💪 Красиво получилось 👍
I want to cry. Vinegar is a chemical that stays in the material forever and will destroy the steel over time.
sodium bicarbonate is the right material for electrolysis. and I don't even want to comment on the welder.
Гарно получилось.
Дякую
Przepiękna jest ta góralska ciupaga pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
Good work.
Don't mind the haters, people are off their rockers anymore. Great work!
Nice.
Perfect length on the handle. Nice project!
Чудово)👍
Із ручкою добряче награвся. В текстуру сокирі чудову надав. Крутяча робота!
Good❤
Дякую за цікаве відео! Поглянув на гріндера, і згадав що стрічки майже закінчилися. Треба клеїти, нехочецяяяя. До кінця тижня наліплю! 301 👍🏻 Слава Націі!
You are the best!
Гарний вийшов!
Really nice restoration, really nice piece you found! And a very good result, congratulations and thanks for shareing it with us 👍👌🙏💪
Nice work, though doubt if its really an 8th -9th century axe. Sicne it will have archelogical and historical importance and would be in museum.
It’s perfect
Another great job! I'm curious to know how you date your projects? Like knowing this was from the 8th - 9th century?
Thanks! There is a classification of such axes in historical literature. The period is determined by the shape of the ax, production technology, and the place where the ax was found.
Wow , its so good !! Battle axe reborned! Congrars !
!
Цудоўная праца , дружа !
Typos by the ReXtorer:-
He typed additional zero and made it 1200 years. It is actually not more than that
Do you have the history on this particular ax? Where was it found? What part of the country? Was it plowed up? Were there other relics found with it?
Beautifully done!
I don't actually know if the piece is that old or not. If that was the case, grinding, welding and polishing it means a total destruction of its historical significance. No museum restorer in the world would take this approach. Historical pieces should be preserved just stabilizing them from further damage. In any case, this axe, even if genuine, would worth nothing: it was a common item, forgen in hundred thousands, with no artistic meaning. Nothing for nothing, I would have kept it original.
I think I would have liked to see the rust and grime removed and them just sit it on a acrylic stand. A complete bow to its history and totally respecting the craftsmen. It seems like most of the history of this piece was filled and ground away
Oh, and when you want to peen a metal and have to use a vase like this one…place it on several layers of thick leather. It will absorb the force but not distort the other side
Oh and short handle as light weight and thin this was, it was most likely a hatchet
Restauration difficile, mais magnifique 👍👍 greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪🇧🇪
Little axe with a long handle, NICE !!!!
good job
I LOVE IT! (Pretty sure that’s not S35VN steel! 😂). You do amazing work!
Very good 👍
Ottimi restauri
good job!
I like how you left the surface with a hammered look to keep the authentic look. Can't help but wonder what the original handle looked like; would it have essentially been a tree branch or something as nice as your handle?
Even if it turns out to be fake it’s still satisfying af
Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done
nice... wonder what the blacksmith who created the axe would say seeing you restore it...
You did very well 👍👍
Looks cool.😊
Love it.
I'd love to know what a metallurgical analysis of the blade showed. Also, it makes you think when you realize that the owner of that axe is not only long since dead, but his existence is probably completely unrecorded, except for that axe.
That's a beautiful restoration and an excellent handle.
Everybody needs to calm down, if these objects are so common then what's the harm in him keeping one for himself and doing with it as he pleases?
Nice work 👌
Good job with what little you had to work with.
If this would be a real historical artefact, it is of utmost importance where it was found.
By grinding and heating all evidence was destroyed and the piece is historically worthless.
Well it is still a historical artifact just a changed and restored one. Modern era will eventually become considered old history in the future if we go far enough
Сила 🔥🔥🔥
If this is a weapon form 800 CE, can I ask how you dated it please?
Зварювальний апарат MG 16 , майже кулемет )))
)))
Nice restoration. It would be beautiful if these left holes were filled with bronze? What do u think?
How did you anchor the twine on the handle?
Of course, no medieval axe here but good job anyway
I am confused to not even see a wikipedia page of proof in the comments lol, so many people keep making claims without even a wikipedia page mentioned or directions for research
amazing
Next time don't shizzle the rust off just put it on a wire belt on a bench grinder it's way faster trust me it is
Sand blasting is better.
Nice Job. Pretty sure that was never a "Battle Axe"
Thank you! This is a 100% battle axe) The weight of the ax is 90 grams.
Pretty sure you're right. That thing isn't a historical relic either. Nice job though.
@@fishpants3877And why are you so sure? Read the literature of historians digging up the settlements of Kievan Rus, they described all the axes of that period, and this is one of these types of axes, similar axes were found in battles Kievan Rus, and no, it is not suitable for the banal felling of a tree, because with such a size and weight it is easier for them to break a skull than cut down a tree.
@@fishpants3877 You should really link sources or something.
do you use a wood chisel to remove the biggest layer of rust?????
Like nr 300 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Супер)
Гарно!
Топорище по структурі більше схоже на бук (beech) :)
вибачайте, але це вже знущання над історичною річчю, якщо цій сокирі справді 1200 років, то її місце було в музеї.
чисто технічно було цікаво подивитись чи працює такий спосіб відновлення (за допомогою зварювання), але знову ж, не з такою раритетною штукою
Це не раритет на річ) це звичайна стара сокира)
That handle is way too large for that particular axe head.
The length of the handle for such axes is 60-80 cm. I made 65 cm)
How much voltage do you apply?
hi. 12V and 5A
Взял и уничтожил артефакт... И кто он после этого?
No, he did it a great service. F the documents.
Unless there is definitive evidence that this axe head is 1200 years old, you shouldn’t be saying this. If you have documented archaeological evidence, then fair enough. That being said, if it is what you say it is, you have destroyed an important piece of history, with all that work. It now looks like something you could buy from Amazon. Such a shame, your work is usually fantastic.
No way it's a 1200 year old relic. Smashing it with chisels and grinding it with electric grinders? His explanation of there being no historical significance due to the large number of them is insane.
Why you hating, man made an old ass piece of metal look new and functional again and you’re worried about amazon
If you did not know, then all types of ancient axes of Kievan Rus are numbered and recorded, and this is one of them. And yes, if he had not removed the rust from it, under the influence of air this object would have crumbled.
I think that this was a great job, every ancient and historic piece needs a restorarion, do you think that in 21 century could we have Notre Dame? Or Mona Lisa without restorarion?. This guys is amazing and I think thar is doing a great job not only for youtube also for the generarions to come
@@FernandoMartinez-om5pn I think he did a great job too. It's just not a 1200 year old relic, that's all.
It's so tiny.
How does one go about acquiring a 1200 year old axe head?
I highly doubt this axe is that old.
No way it's old.
@@fishpants3877 Sure it’s old, but not 1200 years old.
@@Julmaa87 It's old like he buried it for 6 years old. There are a bunch of restoration channels where they basically throw an item into the ocean for a year or bury something in a swamp for 3 years and then recover it and make a restoration video .
@@fishpants3877 Exactly. Which is likely the case of this video.
)))I understand you, you don't know the history of that and write like this. Not everyone knows the story, that's okay. Don't be shy. This is an ax of the 8th-9th century. Transitional type. Early Slavs with elements of Khazar battle axes. Google will help you later)
Is it 1200 years old or I see only about 100 years old?
))) this is a battle ax of the 8th-9th century. At least that's what history says)

Great Work Bro Well done❤😊
Great finish. Never expected the final product. No ways this is 1200 years old. If you have documents then you have destroyed a very valuable piece
Luckily core is alive.
destroyed!
Homemade rust again second time today same person different tools probably got s draw full of ready made rusty tools
You're just wrong twice)
I have my doubts that this is an weapon of any kind due to its size. It may be a cutting tool for very small logs or other branches. But you did clean it within reason. But it may have lost to much metal allready.
Save that ferrous oxide, mix it with aluminum powder and make thermite.
Молодець, як завжди.
Інтересно для чого призначалася дана сокирка. Може як зброя, або щось підтесували....
Дякую! Це бойова сокира
He didn’t want to test it because he was afraid because of its age it could break.
Museum piece?
The museum is not interested in such exhibits. There are many such axes of that period
Are you kidding? Of course (if it were real) it would be an exceptional piece. Absolutely museum quality. Their explanation of museums not being interested is either insane or an attempt to convince you of their legitimacy (because it's not really a historical relic).
This is not a historical relic. This is an ordinary battle ax of the 8th-9th century of a common type. Nothing special.
