The Serpent in the Sword is a paper by Lee A Jones studying early medieval pattern-welded swords. This video shows how to create a pattern-welded sword that actually has a serpent at its core. The processes while using modern tools are similar to the ones employed by anglo-saxon or viking-age smiths.

  • absolutely brilliant! What kind of mask/ dust prevention are you wearing? Good luck, kind regards from Holland!

  • @zambiesz I am using a 3M Breathe Easy system. It's nice since in addition to regular dust filters, you can also use organic vapor filters.
