The making of a Viking period Pattern-welded sword.



A buddy and I were consuming spare time surfing the net.  Here's some nifty stuff we came across.
Pattern Welding Process Part 1
Pattern Welding Process Part 2

This guy, Gregory Delaunay is a knifefemaker/artist from France and produces some amazing work.  Here's the website: http://www.elfic.fr/index.htm

A very nice set of videos describing the pattern welding process start to finish.  It pays to watch the second video all the way to the end, as the pattern in the blade is utterly beautiful.  The are set to English music, but the text is  french.  There's another link here that accurately described the process in English here.  Well illustrated.
