The mysterious Ulfberht viking sword

Here is an interesting 50-minute documentary about the "Ulfberth" viking sword, which is mysterious because it was far superior to most other swords of the time, it had much stronger and purer steel, and must have been made with methods which apparently the vikings didn't have. The docu also shows the making of an Ulfberth sword for the first time in 800 years.

  1. Unfortunately it's got the colossal ass clown John Clements in it, so I'm not sure...

  4. Don Knotts decides to communicate with us from the spirit world and that's what he chooses to say? ;-)

    I've seen this video before but watched parts of it again - pretty cool to see how they made the replica. That's a pretty badass sword.
