Forging a Pattern Welded Sword - Dohrtoc

you have a nice shop in did....

badass! nuff said!

What would something like this sell for?

They were made that way for thousands of years... the proof is in the history books.
haha ;)

WOW fore your age you guys are amazing.
That is a beautiful sword : )

What was showen on the video was pattern welding. Also known as Damascus steel.

this just looks like a layering of different metals, not a traditional european pattern weld

Thats what I was thinking.
I thought Traditional Pattern Welds had the different metals welded together and then the whole welded piece was twisted like a corkscrew which when hammered flat as in a sword blade caused the different metals to make a pattern in the blade.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The term "pattern welded" simply refers to any blade with 2 or more types of steel welded together to make any pattern. Our sword here is just a very simple one with low layer count.
Your thinking about historical Germanic styled swords, which had twisted composite bars in the core of the blade. So your technically right... :)

Were actually making a few upcoming swords with twisted core's. So keep at eye on our site!

@MADdwarfWorkshop
Sweet :) Thanks I will do that.
It was after the fact that I thought I may have been thinking more Germanic / Anglo Saxon blades in my comment.
Probably because my Wife and I are in SCA and NAAMA (NAAMA uses metal weapons in its fighting) and we do 10th Century Germanic persona's. As a result I've studied a lot of Viking, Anglo Saxon and Germanic weapons.
They are beautiful weapons and I would love to have an Axe and a Sword made.
