Dave Stephens Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Good lord! That man has god-like powers. What amazes me is not only how he can produce individual pieces like this, but how MANY pieces in so many different styles and historical periods. Browsing his website just blows your mind. The guy must never sleep. --Dave -----------------------------------------------"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly." -- Theodore Roosevelthttp://stephensforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petr Florianek Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 we were discussing this sword today and i must say thats even more amazing when you know his point of wiew. he is truly amazing. The sword was made for National museum of Slovakia in Bratislava. The sword was found in Turcianske Blatnice in Slovakia but ist most probably of Norse origin. Original is in museum in Budapest (history...) Brass parts are inlayed 1,5 mm deep and deeply engraved. GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Delfosse Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) It's very nice to see the wonderful work of Patrick Barta! And I'm very proud to own your magnificent "Merowingian Saex" you made for me, with a blade forged by Patrick. One more time: "Congratulations and thanks, Sirs"!

owen bush Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I would second that wish. I look at his work and think I could do that....... about maybe the pattern welding.........the rest of his work shows a holistic fullness that you can really only achieve with his level of productivity and skill..... virtuosity for sure In five or ten years time there will be a few more people who will be getting there ..... But ......Patric Barta will be 5 or ten years further along his own path by then . forging soul in to steel owenbush.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Shearer Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You should. That would be great...He's so impressive. “Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
