The forging of a stunning Viking blade
« on: 2012-03-23, 23:55:08 »
I stumbled across these two videos on YouTube thanks to the 'recommended' feature on there.  It features the forging of one of the most breathtaking pattern-welded viking blades I've ever seen.  You get to see the entire process of the blade creation.  It's well worth the time if you're interested in this sort of thing!

Part 2:


Here's a link to the artist's website where you can see the final product with it's hilt furniture, grip and scabbard:
