Meet our Founder and Seller

Jeff Nielson has been captivated by the allure of Norse legends ever since his childhood, a passion sparked by countless stories told by his grandfather. With a creative mind and skilled hands, Jeff turned his fascination into a craft, learning the time-honored techniques of blade-making from master artisans across Scandinavia. Over the years, he honed his skills, applying historical accuracy with innovative designs to craft blades that are not just functional, but also tell a story of their own. Having earned certifications in traditional metallurgy and Norse cultural studies, Jeff's commitment to excellence in every cut, forge, and polish is unwavering.


His achievements include collaborations with renowned museums to create pieces for historical exhibitions. As a co-founder of Ansuz Hope, he aims to share his knowledge and enthusiasm for Norse mythology, offering clients an opportunity to own a piece of history imbued with the spirit of ancient warriors. His work at Ansuz Hope goes beyond business—it's a vibrant celebration of culture, myth, and artistry, inviting collectors to experience history in its most tactile form.
