Viking Axe with Dereck Glaser at NESM 

this looks absolutely beautiful! great job, Dereck!

Wow, that is really a thing of beauty! I love the dark Damascus bit and light silver inlay, such great contrasts. Great profile as well, those subtle 'thorns' really add a lot of character, as well as the facets added to the bottom of the inner curve. Can't say enough good things about it! Thanks for sharing 👍

That is a beautiful axe head. Excellent work.

Super awesome job, fantastic looking axe!

Great looking axe and thanks for the tutorial!

WOW! Absolutely stunning, just beautiful beautiful work! Definitely the most beautiful head ive ever seen, wow, just WOW!

Well done Derek! Forging an axe is on my list.

Love the chiseled in solder as the highlight detail

Beautiful craftsmanship. Of a fine looking axe.

Absolutely masterful!!! I enjoy the instructor's teaching manner. Just brilliant!

Its amazing, thank you so Much for your teaching!

Inspired! Great video

Great video, some folks just hammer away skipping half the work not explaining a thing. Thank you for making this.

Great video! It's like I was there! 😆

While hammering youtub autotranslate wrote "music" lol! Great video, and an inspiration to us all

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful

Such little time on the inlay and polishing

I like how the sound is cut to preserve the secrets of blacksmithing.

Hi Derek, Great video. It seems that the shallow V on the bottom of the back of the axe (where the shaft goes through) was ground in? Thanks, Chris

why is he always putting forge scale into the hole he is punching?

That's ridiculous! Nice.

ese material que hay sobre la vigornia y la hachas cada vez que golpeas es carbon??

I think I have the most important question of the day. How much for the axe I'd like to buy it!

What were the dimensions of the mild steel bar stock that you started with for this project?

most beautiful axe ever see😍

really nice work! Did you use flux to forge weld the damascus edge in the slot?

wish we had the volume all the way trought

Great video. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what is that crust that keeps forming and falling off the red hot part of the metal as you hammer it?

Very cool

Are they cutting the blade to put a high carbon hard edge onto it ?

Thank you for the video, why did you split the edge and then forge weld it back?

Hello, beautiful work, especially the damascus-edge. I just wonder: Does the hardening happen after the inlay is done? It should I guess, and if so, is there any need to protect the wire from melting away. Í have seen man metal-inlays in swords, axes or knifes, but this particular process is never shown. Or are these blades not heat treated and just for decorative purpose? In any case, this axe is an great piecs of craftsmenship and art, thanks for the effort showing it to us! Tom

How much would this cost ? And would you be willing to sell it sir.... ATB, Keith Alabama Bushcrafters

Wooow nice Work

Why the split did not weld when he just hit it and he just split back open?

Hey nesm forged. Love the axe looking really good. I want to know what the rune means and where it is from, please? :)

would anything like this axe be too hard to do just by hand? Obviously it depends on how much time/effort is put in, but for someone without power tools a project like this is intimidating

WOW!

Most impressive! Lots of negative comments! I just don't get it! Beautiful axe, no matter what kind it is!

...and how does the inlay stay in there?

the sound keeps going out

You don't show how to reveal the damascus edge with acid and how you polish the axe

why does the sound keep going out?

genio 👏

Loved the process and techniques used but the end result with a totally grinded surface makes it look like a modern cheap replica imho. Keep the forged surfaces and it would be much better

exelente super buena

God's of WAR Arise!

That chisel he's using in the first thirty seconds is closer to a viking axe than what he makes. Far, far more alike. Most war axes were small, about two to three fingers wide and no longer than the palm of your hand, or from heel to the first knuckle. What you see passing as 'viking axes' online tend to be wood axes with crude modern attempts at medieval artwork on them. Don't be fooled, do your homework.

Looks more 12-1300 than viking.

vraiment hot 👍👍👍👍👍

no talking. just do.

It's just a basic axe with some artwork on it. Real war axes didn't have so thick blades , they were a lot like tomahawks without the pick on the back.

Всем хороша наковаленка, слов нет. Автор молодец, хотел показать, как одной болгаркой можно произвести такую красоту. Но. 1. ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО нужна ПЛОСКОСТЬ на рабочих поверхностях (исключая, конечно, носик). Болгаркой этого не сделаешь. Вследствие этого, изделие может рассматриваться только в качестве сувенира для подарка кому-нибудь, а отнюдь не для работы. Кстати, автор при его оснащенности, в принципе мог бы и плоскости, хотя бы приблизительно сделать. Но в целом хорошая работа. Для девушек.

It's not comfortable to watch a clip like this. The camera is jumping around all the time.

too dangerous toomuch work you can buy it for 30s in europa germans qaulitiy

TOOooo slowly

Stop offending us! That is not an Viking Ax. What if I made a purple and green flag and claimed it to be the american flag? Call it what it is... a fantasy item and nothing else!! Pick up a history book and stop being ignorant.
