+ULFBERH+T - The Luxury Viking Sword...

One of the greatest swords ever made - the +ULFBERH+T viking sword was made of the highest quality steel. A quality that was far superior to other steel at the time. The technology / knowledge vanished with the Vikings and was only later rediscovered in modern times - even though the know-how probably came from Iran and was brought to Scandinavia via the Volga River trading route.

The video (Secrets of the Viking sword) is a NOVA / National Geographic documentary from 2012 and shows how a modern day smith (Richard Furrer) recreates the crucible charcoal forge with leather bellows needed to achieve the correct heat and how he later manufactures the sword.

The sword is a copy of a sword on display at the National Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.
