The Viking Challenge - 10th Century Wootz Viking Sword

The YouTube Viking Challenge!!! Join me as I forge my very first Viking style sword! For this build I tried to stay as historically accurate as possible. I was aiming for a 10th century style sword and sheath. The blade is 27 inches and 34 inches overall. The sword by itself weighs in at 2.7 lbs / 1.23 Kg If you have not yet seen my free wootz calculator, check out the new version with full mobile support and rich text editor for notes and pictures. https://www.wootzsmithforum.com/wootz-calculator-v2/ SOCIALS Website: https://www.wootzsmithforum.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/besslenbladeworks/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552492966340 Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/BesslenBladeworks TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@besslenbladeworks Twitter: https://twitter.com/Besslenbldwrks #Foring #Knifemaking #Blacksmithing #bladesmithing #Wootz #WootzSteel #CrucibleSteel #Damascus #CrucibleDamascus #USAMade #wootz #wootzcalculator #wootzsmithforum #pendray #ytvikingchallenge #vikingchallenge 00:00 Forging Ingot 02:51 Forging Bevels 04:47 Rough Grinding 05:40 Grinding Fuller 07:15 Quench 09:49 Finish Grinding 11:50 Lower Guard 13:00 Handle 13:29 Upper Guard 14:10 Pommel Cap 16:52 Handle Assembly 17:22 Scabbard 20:36 Scabbard Wrap 24:05 Chopping Stuff 25:35 Final Images
