Wow, it looks amazing! Thank you so much for putting all this time and effort into making the axe, and paying so much attention to detail. The wrought iron makes it special. I've rarely seen anyone work with iron, most bladesmiths use mild steel. Anyway, it was great to see the process, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. :)
@@Altair1193 blacksmiths work with iron based and hard metals. A whitesmith works gold and silver, precious metals, and I may have left some metals out, as I don't know much about whitesmith work yet. Since steel is just iron and carbon, any smith that works steel is a blacksmith. The information on whitesmiths is just what I've heard, but I'll look into it. It may be different.
Okay, so what I was told about whitesmiths was wrong completely. It referred/refers to anyone that does finishing work on metal or works tin. I always thought that tin workers were in their own category, but i guess there are places where smithing work overlaps.
You’re very talented! I’m glad you decided to stick it out with the forging, it certainly is worth the aggravation and now you learned how. Thanks for sharing!
Man you are one brutal skeggøx maker to use traditional techniques. Also thanks sharing with us and for making this for skallagrim that was very righteous of you.
The rustic aesthetic you got going on with some of your stuff is really great in my opinion. Also saw it performed well in Skallagrim's vid. Cool stuff!
I do not forge knives or axes and never look at videos on the subject. I decided to look at yours in this quiet morning before going out of my comfort zone to my forge welding and I am very glad I did. The transformation of the billets in this axe is magic. Truly magical. The video is well made. The work is expertly conducted. I enjoyed every minute of it. Comments in videos are often boring : we do not need to be told what we have seen. Your comments added information we could not have seen in the video. I thank you.

Oh thank you very much! I plan to make a in depth video on the folded eye in the future! Hope you stick around for that!
Lovely work. Love the use of wrought iron instead of mild steel. Do you think you would've gotten some sort of interesting pattern from etching the wrought iron?

I did! I mean it depends on how you stack and/or turn the billet. Its not as clear a damascus pattern, but it does show grain and therefore reminds me of wood a little bit. Compared to mild steel its very beautiful!
I found your channel because of skallagrim (and it appears that im not the only one) and i cant say how pleased i am to have another cool channel to watch!
Hello I enjoyed your video, the Axe looks really beautiful and it´s interesting to see the way you have forged the Axe. Thanks for sharing and that we could find your channel. I needed to subscribe ! Thank you for this all - till next time
Very awesome! Saw Skallagrim opening the axe you sent him then tried to go to your website, which didn't work for me. But then YT's algorithm did its job for once and recommended the video of you making it!

Sorry about that, my website is under construction, will be back shortly!
wow, that is one awesome axe, and probably fast in hand,as slim as theprofile is ... congratulations to this very awesome axe! Well done job !! Cheers, Erik
That is a amazing axe and I like that kind of axe I would like to see how u would make a tomahawk there are a bunch of different ones out there but thanks for all u do I have learned alot from u and black bear forge thanks again
Boiled linseed oil is fine to use, but if you want deeper penetration into the wood you can mix it with white spirits or mineral oil to thin it a bit more!
@ I heard that raw linseed oil takes much longer to "set" in the pores of the wood because it contains more moisture (this is what protects the wood). For deeper penetration in the wood you can dilute the BLO as suggested above or maybe slightly heat it up with a torch to reduce viscosity.
Amazing work. It’s difficult to find a well made bearded axe now. Most are not in the same style as this one which is my favorite style. How much for one lol
pretty sure a basic form of crucible steel was available during the time of the Vikings, but I'm not sure where. Ulfberht swords were made with steel if I'm not mistaken.

Yo
Damn northmen!!!
So he really is a blacksmith, cause blacksmith work with iron. the most other smiths with steel

I find this more relaxing than any ASMR video.
This is a man’s ASMR.
I realy like fitting a axe head onto the handle...I've learned some things from you . Thanks
Great job on that axe. I came here from Skals channel to see how it was made. Not disappointed.
Great axe you made. I enjoyed when you talked about the axe at the end, good to get more insight.
Thanks alot!
Not gonna lie...if it was me unboxing that thing I'd giggle like a little girl
You’re very talented! I’m glad you decided to stick it out with the forging, it certainly is worth the aggravation and now you learned how. Thanks for sharing!
Very Nice. Just saw the Testing by Skall video today. Really a nice tough axe. Really dual purpose... primary fighting, but very usable for bushcraft.
Thats true! Thanks for watching!
Man you are one brutal skeggøx maker to use traditional techniques. Also thanks sharing with us and for making this for skallagrim that was very righteous of you.
Coming from skall here! Great work!
Can't wait for more!
Thanks and welcome!
A thing of beauty, no wonder smiths were revered

7:15 Traditional Scandinavian angle grinder from 900 AD.
very beautiful axe!!!!!
Beautiful! As another artist I follow (Bobby Duke) would say..."I want that." Someday...
That is some good craftmanship Nils!
Great job! That is a great looking axe. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Beautiful work, man. It was oddly therapeutic to watch you shape that axe by hand. Thank you.
this looked way more complicated than I was expecting. Great work!

That is a beautiful piece of work.
Thanks. I like your comments after the build. Keep posting please.
I found your channel because of skallagrim (and it appears that im not the only one) and i cant say how pleased i am to have another cool channel to watch!
Thank you much! Welcome to the channel!
Wow! Amazing work! How nice to see a true master at work! Rare sight these days!
Can't wait to see Skall trying to destroy everything around him with that piece of art. Great work.
Amazing that you successfully pushed your limits! Great craftsmanship!
Beautiful axe, excellent workmanship, Sir!
I'd be beyond proud to own such a tool.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoy watching you work. It's a fascinating process and oddly soothing as well.
Thank you very much Josh!
The Buddy Rich of the forge right here
Glad you stuck with it after some challenges at the start. I enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your skill and talent!
Thank you Curt!
Beautiful axe. Raw linseed oil is best for saturating the wood. Boiled linseed oil cures to make a coating in the end if that is desired.
It's a beautiful axe, well done!
Absolutely amazing work brother.
Amazing! Glad to have found your channel!
Thank you! Im glad you found it :)
Well done Nils! Forge welding a wrapped axe can be tricky indeed. But you did a great job.
Indeed! Thank you very much
Amazing craftsmanship. You deserve way more subscribers
Thank you!
Gorgeous build!
Quite the marvel, great job!
very nice job and like how you work that is old school style i like it
the scenery is beautiful, at the end
Absolutely beautiful
What an absolutely gorgeous axe! Well done mate!
Hello
I enjoyed your video, the Axe looks really beautiful and it´s interesting to see the way you have forged the Axe.
Thanks for sharing and that we could find your channel. I needed to subscribe !
Thank you for this all - till next time
Thank you very much!
In your previous attempts which step was the most difficult? It took me the most time to learn how to weld the beard to the eye correctly.
Getting the eye welded propperly is the hardest part in my opinion!
Very awesome! Saw Skallagrim opening the axe you sent him then tried to go to your website, which didn't work for me. But then YT's algorithm did its job for once and recommended the video of you making it!
Sorry about that, my website is under construction, will be back shortly!
@ its all good. amazing craftmanship on the axe though.
Thanks man!
I just watched the video on Skillagrim
Very well made
Beautiful work! Looking forward to watching more.
Nice work, I enjoyed watching you make that
wow, that is one awesome axe, and probably fast in hand,as slim as theprofile is ... congratulations to this very awesome axe! Well done job !! Cheers, Erik
Thank you very much!
How many tanks of propane did you go through? In Scandinavia is coal cheaper to forge with than propane?
That is a amazing axe and I like that kind of axe I would like to see how u would make a tomahawk there are a bunch of different ones out there but thanks for all u do I have learned alot from u and black bear forge thanks again
Beautiful axe!
Amazing work. It’s hard to find a true well made bearded axe. Especially in this style which is my favorite. How much to get one lol
I would like to know that also.
Beautiful axe! Well done!
Awesome!! Great job !😉👍🏽😁
You have awesome skills with metal.
Just incredible sir. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
I need to know how much that would cost to have one lol
Awesome job,think how hard it was outfit a large Army.
If you plan on making a lot more shafts you should look into getting, or building, a Täljhäst.
I actually made one, and it was terrible! I need to make a better one ;)
Beautiful work!
I never knew the beard had to be inserted like that. Very interesting.
Doesnt have to be done this way, its just one way of making them
@ Cool.
Well done.
väldigt bra gjort och väldigt vacker yxa :)
Tack så mycket!
@ rent nöje att se :)
It’s a smokn hot forge that will weld wrought iron, would live to see a video on tour gas forge.
Beautiful work!
Maybe i should do a tour video + q&a as a 1k sub special?
Nils Ögren Now you’re talking!!!
Cheers from NZ🇳🇿
I love these videos man
I want one! Brilliant!
This axe is epic! Well done!
Tack you very much sir!
awesome axe
Great video! What weight is the head?
I think you did a great job. Nice work
Thank you very much!
My fav axe from a game
What game?
@ Counter blox. Its counter strike. But in roblox XD
Beautiful.

They're on his website. I think this one is 4500 SEK, which is about $450.
That axe is gorgeous! Keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you very much Liam!
I love watching craftsmen at work, odd question what are those pants and where can I get some?
These are made by a Swedish company called "blåkläder" you can search on google and you will find them
@ thank you, I work in electro mechanical and they look like they can (hopefully) stand up to the job
Nice work.
what is the source of the wrought iron you use. i'm Nils Enier Osterberg just found your site by accident
So much effort!
looks great
Very good congratulations
What did ancient smiths use instead ob angle/belt grinders? BTW displaying the axe on top of the mossy rock looked really cool 😎.
Files, stones and so forth! I guess
Beautiful axe.. well done sir!
Thank you very much sir!
How thick is your billet before the set down for forming the eye?
Really nice job. New subscriber for sure. By the way love your anvil!
Beautiful!
Nice Job as usually Nils looks awesome
Thank you buddy!
I am going to save up for one of these...great work
Thank you!
That is awesome.
pretty sure a basic form of crucible steel was available during the time of the Vikings, but I'm not sure where. Ulfberht swords were made with steel if I'm not mistaken.
Were there any one-handed axes that had a head shaped like a Dane axe head?
That's pretty cool axe, how long is the axe handle anyway.
I dont remember
Har du funderat på att göra en kockkniv? Det hade varit kul att se
Det har jag absolut funderat på!
That was AWESOME
You should attempt to forge a viking seax knife
Very nice.
And here's me thinking that forging something from metal was just a bit of hammering and cooling hot metal.
nice.. can´t wait to see the test!
Thank, me neither!
