This turned out super cool, well done mate!!
Thank you!! 😁
If i had to give your masterpiece a name it would be "Jormungandr". Your sword is a absolute winner for the Viking challenge
That’s a great name. Jörmundgandr, the name of the World Serpent a.k.a. the Midgard Serpent or Midgårdsormen as we say here in Sweden. Very fitting for a snake themed Viking sword.
"Proud" feels like an understatement of how you must feel. Absolutely incredible work!
Exceptional craftsmanship and Viking design.
I love the idea of stories of generations of people maintaining a single sword over time. Seeing you intricately sew the handle together for some reason made me think of a father taking all this care and attention before passing it on to his son.
Your craftsmanship is unbelievable, keep up the great work!👍🏻 I'm exited to see the finished sword.😃
Never seen anyone make a sword quite like this, mate, and I watch a lot of these sorts of videos. Absolute craftsmanship. Amazing.

Good job mister beautifully done
My jaw hit the floor when you showed the darkened guard, and I don't think I picked it up again. That sword is astoundingly beautiful.
Very beautiful thats going to be hard to beat great work
I saw your channel for long and this is by far your best creation. Just the part of engraving it's way too crazy. I'm carpenter and chisel wood it's such a pain in the butt, thinking about those tiny details in metal requires an infinite amount of dedication. You used a bunch of quite unique techniques here, also make the blade was really interesting. Great work, you should be extremely proud of yourself!
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked 😁
It’s not fair. So much talent into one maker! Leave some for the others, Gaddhour ❤😂
It’s a beauty
It IS! This is an incredible piece of functional art! WOW!
A real piece of art, very great job, i hope you'll win ! :)
Handcrafted is still the best. Some people would use laser curving or something but u had the patience for this! Amazing work
Nice,as always you killed it.beautiful workmanship.just keep doing what you do best 😎😎😎👍👍👍
That is beautiful.
B.B. I'm not much into swords and knives, but that is a real work of art.. Take care my friend and God Bless...
Wow!! I'm lost for words on this one, absolutely stunning, right down to the incredible precision of the plaited wires!!👌👍💜
Beautiful sword.
It's so beatiful.
Increible trabajo caballero, muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Beautiful
Bravissimo!
