YouTube Knife Maker Challenge: The Viking Edition
Today in the shop I found an older cracked axe head that has been lying around in my shop, just waiting for the perfect project to see its full potential. I made some sketches to come up with a new head shape, based on Viking bearded axes, and started by cutting away much of the head, including the crack. After refining the shape on the grinder, I used my LaserPecker 3 to etch a quad spiral design on the cheeks of the head, and Viking and AOC runes on both faces of the blade. I finished the head with some file work to define the etching and add texture. I used oak to make a custom straight handle, that just slightly swept back, and then hung the head with a cherry wedge for contrast. I finished the handle with leather wrappings, an acrylic brown dye to darken the wood, and AOC and Viking runes painted as final details.
Like usual we couldn't complete a good challenge project without a fun cinematic, which you saw in the beginning. My daughter, the Shop Elf, acted the role of the villager, and I was the raiding Viking popping out of the water to attack. Thanks to our father for coming out and running camera 2 along side Devon for the shoot.
Thanks also to the sponsors of the Viking challenge, who made it possible for us to offer up some exciting prizes for the winners of the "Viewers Challenge"
