Hand forging a simple Viking knife.

- I forged this "viking" knife. I thought it was a historic design but in fact it is a design by Dutch Smith and artist Thijs Van de Manakker, he designed it in the 80s. Based on a early medieval and Roman Knife design. Since then it is made all over the world as a authentic medieval knife. Thijs Van de Manakker did allot for the historical reenactment world and deserves credit and recognition for allot of designs and historical research.

Definitely the nicest version of this blade that I've seen 👌
In my lifetime I've seen literally hundreds of these knives. This one is by far the nicest. Veddy good job
In the description you comment on it's a modern styling of a historical piece, but in your hands it's a timeless classic.
you are the first smith i have ever seen draw the design on the anvil like that. ive seen many use paper or even a concrete floor but right there on the anvil is so smart
Amazing work of art, this twist on the blade characterized his work. Congratulations!
I have seen almost every Blacksmith make this style of knife as blacksmith knife . But never mention the history. Really That Dutch smith Van De Mankker deserves a shout out and credit for his work
Nobody knows.
I don't believe there's any evidence of medieval knives looking anything like this. Certainly the museum catalogs I've studied do not contain any knives like this.
@Lioness of Lechistan Yup.
@@bjf10 not medieval but far earlier Celtic design Thijs van de Manakkers Facebook page has drawings form surviving pieces, most are a strait tang with a small loop at the end 1 or 2 are with the well know loop as shown here
I’ve yet to see ya do a “bad” piece. If you’ve made any mistakes, you covered it well lol. You’re a true artist with steel, sir. Cheers from 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautifull piece, great hands
you sus sus
no way
One hint: Acid
Beautiful blade. Outstanding craftsmanship. Love watching your videos.
Very cool, I like the way the twist turned out!!! Keep it up good Sir!!! 💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻
That’s why I love this channel’ always something unique and different:)
Extremely awesome! So well done!!!
Look at all that *hand* forging, amazing!
Beautiful simplicity!
so much time and effort on perfection...
truly most of us don't know ..
thanks for sharing..
That is a beautiful knife, great work!
Absolutely Awesome, pure Class , Skill & craftmanship, Fantastic
I love your work Blacksmith
Wow, marvelous craftsmanship!
This looks interesting. I can learn some good ideas from your videos too. Thank you and keep up the good work
Very good craftsmanship
Excellant work as usual!!
Absolutely beautiful work!
Für mich der beste Klingenschmied auf YT !! Nebenbei, überhaupt ein begnadeter Handwerker.
Great work there!!! 👍
150 person don't recognize talent when they see it. This is gorgeous and every piece that I've seen so far.
I love this design! I want one!
Amazing work! Can't wait to try to build one of my own.
Cool project! I think knowing when to stop working it so it retaines the "viking" in your finished product is a matter of faith
Perfectly Beautiful!
Love watching that metal move under your hammer, mad skills. Salute!
Cool blade man. I think I’ll do one similar. Thanks man. Danke
The nicest version of this blade that I've seen. Well done.
Am going to be making this in my black smithing class so I'm learning ahead of time thanks mate
Great knife design always thought the same as you on its timeline.
I love that style knife with the tang bent around as part of the handle!
Excellent example of craftsmanship 🏴
es Increíble las cosas que se pueden lograr con un pedazo de metal e ingenio, creo que es una de las cosas más simples lindas que eh visto
Muito bom! Parabéns pela habilidade.
This knife is beautiful.
this is the best knife I've ever seen
Awesome work Mate, I wish I had you skills. 👍
Que precioso trabajó . Felicidades
Superb craftsmanship ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nicely done I like the design
You've got to be kidding me! I came up with a damn near identical design the other day. Turns out it must have come straight from the blood of my ancestors.
Great looking knife!
Regards from the north
Que buena versión .gracias por el video
That's a nice grinding machine, man.....✌🍕😎
That's a gorgeous knife
Amazing knife 👍👍
Nice knife at the end👏👏👏
Sir, you are so masterful at making knives, and swords. It wouldn't suprise me to find that you sweat razor blades!
excellent interpretation of a classic! I imagine what a Karambit made in this style would be like. it would make a beautiful hybrid!
Kirk Mario no, it wouldn’t.
Karambits are useful if you like a self-limiting knife. Name one nation that conquered the world with a recurve-style blade...
@@stevesyncox9893 I say this only from an aesthetic point of view. already has a hole in the handle and I like the construction. Of course, if you don't like Karambits ...
I don’t like hybrids, only my opinion, likely came across a bit harsh. Was not the intent. Mind typeclik. Peace man.
Nice job friend, I swear by my statement to anyone I speak about knives to, the knife is by far the most important tool man ever invented and possibly was the first, Primarily used for hunting then as we got "smarter" it was used for more nefarious purposes like hunting each other, still the basic shape and basic use hasn't really changed from paleolithic/neolithic times, and it's great to see a master craftsman like yourself making these tools, keep up the good work 👍
WOW, WOW, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU. BEST REGARDS FROM CANADA
Nice knife.👍
Best i have seen of one of these i like how you didn't put it in the ferric chloride for to long which gave your knife a beautiful faint damascus
Never seen a vise rigged up like that to be a touchmark press, I like it and might have to borrow the idea!!
that is one real cool looking knife sir
Nice really nice
Nice video. Thank you for sharing it. You have my support. :):):)
Как всегда великолепно!👍🔥🔨
This is a Beautiful blacksmith knife.
Very nice!
I love making these! You make it look really easy though! It really takes me a couple of hours to make one. I always fiddle around with the length of the handle instead of doing it the way you did it. You left it long and just cut off the excess after bending, that worked out great! I also liked that you used thicker stock to begin with, I think that will sit in the hand better than the ones made of thinner stock! Great work as always! Cheers from the USA
i love that handling
Wow bagus banget motif pisau nya om
That's awesome! beautiful work!
*Imagination to reality* 👏👏
Superbe ,j'adore.
very nice very very nice I would love to have one of them for sure yup yup
Hadley CapeBreton well ask a Canuck smith to make you one...
Thank you. Hi in Azerbaycan-Baku. :D
awesome knife
Very nice knife
I like it.🤘
hermoza hoja... me encanto!!!
Simply amazed
What a workshop! Damn
Amazing 💯💯👏👏👏👏👌
Awesome men
Love the sound of that forge igniting, the muted bell clang of the hot steel hammer blows on the anvil.
PS....worthy of all anvil work. Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn, and Floki would be competing vigorously over this knife.
poah, das snel. weer een goede video hoop ik.
Ficou muito bom mesmo 10
Зачёт!!! я себе такой же отковывал,только из рессоры
I appreciate when I stumble on a forging video and the person is ACTUALLY forging and not just cutting a knife out of steel with the stencil they used for their shape and design.
Bloody well done! :)
love it..yeahhh💪👊🔨
Ik werk veel met hout. De patroon op dit mes lijk wel op houtnerf, prachtig!
Weapon is superb bro
Gute Handwerkskunst!!!! Bin richtig neidisch :-)
أستمر متابعك من العرأق تحياتي الك ❤ 💙 💚 💛 💜.
Do you make these to sell I’d be really interested in purchasing one
the swords you make are amazing but this little knife is brilliant greetings from Poland
1:20 looked like he was about to crack the thing in half😂
The Blade is 5 inches?
Beautiful work!
отличная работа
That is a beautiful knife there sir. The title is misleading though. That's no simple knife there. I've watched plenty of forging videos so I know that Damascus steel is no easy trick. It takes a lot of effort to make it happen. The knife is a real piece of fine art that is usable though. Great job!!!!!!! I hope one day to be able to do such a project myself. As it is I am just now starting out in my black smith endeavors but I hope to get where you are currently at one day
After see this video I have thougth how much Grinders He have ..
Me: I want.
My Wallet: Are you sure about that?
Excellent! Do you sell what you make?
Wow
I am curious to know where you learned the origins of this knife from. I've spent some time trying to find out more about this style of knife (it is usually referred to most often times as a blacksmith knife by smiths, at least in the u.s. anyways) and I can't seem to find any info whatsoever :/
There are some historical finds that look like it but not the same.
