One of my personal favorites. It was a challenge and I nearly got sued over it.2yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith
A small seax I’ve been tinkering on for a while now. Needs a sheath. A bit rough but some folk like them that way.3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith
Forging a Viking style sword. 5160 and 24” blade at the moment but it should gain an inch or two in the tapering. Thanks for looking3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/SWORDS
Because I’ve been asked. Here’s the overall blade. The sheath design has since changed due to my ignorance on the history.1yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Bladesmith
Three days into oiling the handle. Couple more and it’s time for glue and shaping the butt3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith
One of my favorites of all the knives I’ve ever made. A friend sent me a photograph of a very similar knife. I found the maker and asked if he’d mind me using his form. He was very gracious and said he was flattered. This is my spin on a knife for one of my closest friends. Thanks for looking!3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Bladesmith
Man draw filing is tough.. good cardio. Tomorrow is the last meeting with the commissioner. 1075 hand forged, no power tools... kinda proud of that!3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith
Sadly there’s a single hairline crack just about 2” from the point. Arg so much time and effort.3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith

Objective perspective requested. Think this will sell? I mean before I glue everything up and it’s too late.. thanks fellows for having a look!3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/knifemaking
Disclaimer: it’s pretty weird. I’ve noticed that the most beautiful things come from the worst environments. A burl is caused by an obstacle in the root, or a disease . The most attractive parts are the most stressful environments a living thing can maintain. That sheds a new light for me.3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/knifemaking
It was at this point when Paul began speaking in third person and questioning his decision making process.2yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/foxmustang
Well if that don’t look a ni.. yeah. Threaded tang with a steel nut and a nickel spacer. Open to ideas!3yr ⋅ Oberu ⋅ r/Blacksmith
