Description
It was my first time in one Finnish "iron age fair", so i wanted to make quite flashy dining gear for my own use in that place. Probably quite bling pieces compared to simple wooden spoons, what you normally see on viking tables.

On kyllä hyvännäköisiä ja hyvän tuntuisen oloisia, mukava muotoilu noin ylipäätäänkin

Netistä ei löytynyt mitään semmoisia mihin olisin ollut täysin tyytyväinen, joten piti tehdä itse. Idea tuli noista Puolassa järjestetyn viikinkifestivaalin kuvissa näkyneistä aterimista. wikingowie.deviantart.com/art/… - wikingowie.deviantart.com/art/…

Se on kyllä aina hienoa, kun löytää erilaisilta messuilta jotakin omiin ajatuksiinsa sopivaa. Oli se sitten missä taiteen muodossa, tai ylipäätään missä muodossa tahansa olevaa. Yleensä niistä aina syntyy jotakin.

I'm not going to sell anything outside my local circles in Finland.
There is many blacksmiths all over the world, so you can of course find some local artisan in your local area and ask if can he make similar set for you.

It was about 8-10 hours of work.
Thanks for adding me to your watch-list.

That twist pattern is too difficult to handle with forge, so i take usually oxy acetylene torch and twist small sections at one by one.
Thanks again for the faves.

No but like, I've tried twisting in different directions, but it doesn't look like that

I heat about 15-20 mm section at a time and put steel rod to water bucket after each twist. Then earlier twist don't open in the heat when you are making next one and the final pattern will look nice and tight. That deep curve between two opposite twists is also quite nice bonus..

iiiiinteresting, I'll have to give it a go

Am I right that to get the pattern you are twisting the steel back and forth?
I've considered making my own cutlery before but always end up getting an order just when I decide I'm in the mood to do it.
Congratulations on the daily deviation, by the way.

Yeah. I twisted the handles with oxy acetylene torch, because it's the most easy way to heat only small sections at one by one..

Thanks, but there was not any forge welding methods used in this set. I made the knife from one solid piece of spring steel. (from old cars's leaf spring) And the fork & spoon are forged from standard 12x12 mm square rods. All three are solid pieces of metal without any seams/joints etc.

Love the handles, they really make them more flashy.

Yleisempi nimitys on ihan vaan muinaismarkkinat tai viikinkimarkkinat etc.
Suurin on varmaankin Saltvikin viikinkimarkkinat Ahvenanmaalla ja pienempiä löytyy ympäri suomea. Itse en ole käynyt vielä muissa kuin Pukkisaaren muinaismarkkinoilla, koska pääkaupunkiseudulle pääsee niin kätevästi junalla täältä itä-rajalta.

Lol.. This time was even worse than three years ago. Please no more daily deviations for this guy.
I start soon to be afraid of posting anything new in here, if there will be so much work for removing thousands of messages from my inbox in one day.

Is this what's called a "double twist" design? Crank the bar one way and then the other? And I'm guessing you start with a square bar as opposed to a round one to get that pattern? Sorry if I'm being a bit gabby, but I love the look of this kind of stuff and an just curious as to the techniques.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.. Something like that. I don't know all the technical terms in english.
