great work!!
I was wondering is pattern welded steel the same as Damascus steel?

Pattern welded steel is often called damascus, but damascus can also refer to wootz steel, which is different thing.

I was confused with this sword at first considering how small the hilt is in comparison to the blade, it would look pretty unbalanced. However, I noticed that the pommel is particularly big-ish. Is the pommel a counterweight to the blade here? The reason for my asking is because this looks like it would be pretty difficult to wield with one hand!


I am obviously an amateur to this stuff, I don't even know how big this sword really even is or the actual weight, I'm asking just cus I'm curious and I LOVE swords!

Those hilt parts actually balance that sword pretty well, and as the whole weight is under kilogram, its really easy to handle.

Oh alright! See, I've never really held a REAL sword before. Closest I've really come is a life sized replica of Aragorn's Sword from Lord of the Rings.

But, my gosh, I would love to own one of these swords. So simplistic yet one of the most beautiful swords I've ever seen!

I have been getting into blacksmithing and wanted to make a sword of similar style to yours (not as ornate). Do you have any advice you could give?

jarkko1 In reply to smolla [2013-11-16 06:52:31 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think that there is lots of books about blacksmithing and sword/knife making, in english, available. Reading some of them may give some ideas and advice and most important thing is try and make things.

Moi, aattelin kysästä, ku taitava mies oot, että onko mitään kirjoja puukkojen/miekkojen/vastaavien tekemisestä mitä suosittelisit?

jarkko1 In reply to Th-Blck-Knght [2013-11-16 06:45:08 +0000 UTC]

En ole ihmeemmin noihin kirjoihin perehtynyt, mutta varmaan jokaisesta kirjastosta löytyy useampikin puukonteko opas. Opetushallituksen kustantama "sepän taidot" on ainakin ihan yleispätevä teos.

Noihin miekkoihin on ehkä vähän viha-rakkaus suhde Onhan niitten tekeminen aika hanurista, mutta hienoa niitä on saada valmiiksi

Todella kaunis. Aivan nyt mielenkiinnosta kysyn, että miten teet tuon kuvioinnin tuohon tedän lappeeseen? Todella hypnotisoiva. Muutenkin miekka on täynnä todella kiinnostavia ja kauniita yksityiskohtia. Hienoa, ett löytyy innostuneita käsityöläisiä!

Kiitoksia. Terä on damaskoitu viikinkiajalle tyypilliseen tapaan, eli terän keskiosa on taottu kerroksittain kahdesta erilaisesta teräslaadusta. Keskiosa koostuu tässä tapauksessa kolmesta kerroksittain taotusta vartaasta, joita on eritavoin kierretty jengoille, jotta kerrokset muodostavat tuon aikakauden miekoille tyypillisen kuvion.
