Forging a Composite Shortsword - Salamander Armoury

nugat rated 10 months ago
"A Dark Age style shortsword with bronze and silver mounts, a three core blade and bone grip." Beautiful detail in the pattern welding. For a noob like me, maybe a pattern-welded butter knife to start with. Yeah, that's it... "Har toast, this is Sting! You've seen it before!"

Not the greatest photographs, but interesting guide showing how swords are forged.

Yes the stainless isn't a great idea but if it's only for ornamental purposes it's quite nice.

I tried making a short sword out of sheet steel once. It was not good.
