In this video of the "Scrap Metal Replica", I show how to forge a folded-eye early medieval axe.
In the early medieval the three main techniques of welding cutting edge have been used. 1. asymmetric cutting edge, the piece of steel is forge-weld on to the one side of the axe body. 2. the piece of steel vedge-shape is placed in the slit which is cut in the middle of the end of the axe body and then everything is forge-weld together. 3. The end of the axe body is placed into a v-shape piece of the stell and then forge-weld.
