Single edged viking sword

My latest Jarn Hond single edged viking sword....Hope you like it. I have been playing with replicating inlay (which i do not have the skill or patients for) with patternweld which I guess I do!

I copy and pasted the URL's into a different tab and HOLY WOW!!

Well that’s just fantastic. The inlay looks wonderful.

Did you ever stop to think that it might irritate us mere mortals that you can pattern weld those fittings better than most can inlay them? 

 

That's pretty fantastic!

You've definitely got the PW imitation of inlay down to an art!  I think the old guys would appreciate that.   Just as blingy, much more durable, and the pattern goes all the way through!

I love the coloring of this piece. It's like a living artifact from a black and white picture. 

 

And the PW imitation of inlay is perhaps the best idea I've seen in damascus since Mick's explosion patterns. I agree with Alan, I think the ancient smiths would have approved and then stolen that idea.
