Description: We forge the cover axe from the new Assassin's Creed Valhalla game. During the video we share some fax about real viking axes as we forge this one based off of Boss Logic's Cover art that debuted the new game, revealed that it would take place in the Viking era and introduced us to Eivor. To create this axe we use a power hammer to do a lot of the forging but also show some hand techniques and we also use all of our forges. We start in the propane forge than move to coal and end up heat treating the axe and the back spike in the charcoal forge. We show some engraving into steel before the heat treat and some tricky grinding on our Brodbeck Ironworks belt sander. We are not sure at what point our hero Eivor Uses this axe in the game. In the trailer we see another viking using what seems to be this axe, but it has another spike out the top and it both spikes appear to be golden in color. I am guessing that was some sort of king or someone important to Eivor and he picks up the axe after the battle and uses it and maybe alters is at some point to his liking. Perhaps all of this speculation is for nothing and Boss Logic just removed the top spike for his art so that it didn't cover up Eivor's beard. Who knows?! Assassin's Creed games always have some sort of surprises and I am sure this one is bound to have loads of them. We are already hearing whispers that perhaps at some point in this game you have to choose to become an Assassin or a Templar. That would be one heck of a surprise! We will have to wait and see but for now lets make a Viking Axe with Matt and Ilya. ► Share this video using hte #AxeWorks★ for a chance to win a hand forged Viking Pendant.
