Forging Dawn, the sword of the morning, approximately 116 cm long forged from 432 layers of Pattern welded steel, hardened and tempered.
The greatsword Dawn was forged from the heart of a fallen star and has been wielded by Daynes for ten thousand years. The blade is as pale as milkglass, unlike dark Valyrian steel, but is similar in strength and sharpness. Unlike other houses who have ancestral swords, House Dayne does not pass its sword from lord to heir. Only a knight of House Dayne who is deemed worthy can wield Dawn, and the Sword of the Morning is envied throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
The last known user of the sword was Ser Arthur Dayne, a chivalrous knight in the Kingsguard of Aerys II Targaryen.

I don't understand a couple things; why would you sacrifice hammer control with a glove on your hammer hand, don't the short swings hurt your shoulder after 10min, and does your back hurt from bending over like that?
Patiently waiting for part 2
Was gonna request Dawn then this came along…
Why do you burn a sword after tempering?
During the folding process, how would medieval swordsmiths have achieve the welds, once you cut the billets into three pieces, without the benefit of modern plasma torches? You clearly put a lot of work into making this sword, it boggles the mind to think of what someone without power tools would have to do to come to the same product.
I think you have worms in your iron
Ik heb een vraagje, als dit jouw werk is smeed je het dan voor films of zo?
i see your pattern forging skills have improved, very nice
Japanese smiths use a second pair of tongs to hold on with instead of gloves.
In this way, you do not burn your hand drawing out steel and u get way stronger using the powerhammer.
flat short handle tongs .
beautiful work! 👍
Hey Freerk!! Does the metal from the welds mix into the Damascus layers?
I imagine it'd add an interesting pattern
Where is the longclaw
Time to have a visual orgasm, thanks master.
The color of the blade is freerking awesome. House Dayne approved
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and I was wondering if you would you ever consider doing tutorials or talking us through how and why you do what you do? I'm interested in becoming a blacksmith but don't have the money or time to learn from a master. If you could describe what materials and techniques you use and why you use them that would be a huge help and could teach many people. You do some beautiful things!

Good work, not Dawn though (Dawn should be a whitish-blade GREATSWORD) in my opinion, but good work anyway!
true arts
What is that powder he is using at the that he coats the metal with after heating it? And what is it used for?
Thanks!!!
wahnsinn …. das ist handwerkskunst
Netties
hey Freerk what gloves do you use?
Nothing to add. Just another really beautyful work this is!
thanks for the afford you put into the video!
That's a beauty.
What is the device shown on the power hammer at 12:55 – 13:15 called and what does it do? Absolutely love your work, first thing I look for when I watch Youtube. Keep 'em coming!!
Please can you advise how much you sell for? How could I buy one of your masterpieces?
Great work!!!
is it just me or does he grab red hot steel wearing only a glove??
How many eunuchs does it take to forge a sword?
It Varys.
Perfect. So relaxing, watching you videos. No music, no talking, just workshop sounds.
Can u make a sword whith out machines? Only whith a fire and a hammer?
At the 3:35ish spot you're putting 2 powders on your billet. What are those 2 powders?
I have a feeling this will be epic !
SUPER !!!
geweldig mooi werk freerk! skills!
Самому не надоел одинаковый узор на всех мечах? Никакого разнообразия в видео нет -всё по одной и той же схеме. Проще тогда сделать перезалив и не заморачиваться.
