Making Wootz steel from an ancient file. Crafting an Seax Knife Traditional Metalworking

In this video, I transform an ancient steel file into authentic Wootz steel and forge it into a stunning Seax knife using traditional blacksmithing techniques. Watch the entire process—from preparing the steel, melting it in a crucible, forging the blade, heat treating, grinding, polishing, and revealing the beautiful Wootz pattern. The Seax was the iconic knife of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, prized for its strength, versatility, and timeless design. By combining ancient steel with one of history's most legendary blade styles, this project brings traditional metallurgy back to life.
