THE BLACKSMITHS POINT OF VIEW AND METALURGEY STUDIES HAVE ALLOWED MODERN BLACKSMITHS TO FORGE REPLICAS OF THE SWORD OF SUTTON HOO AS WELL AS THE OLD VIKINGSWORDS KNOWN AS ULFBERHT. THE STUDIES OF THE METAL AND TECKNIQUES USED IN MAKEING THESE SWORDS PROVIDED NEW KNOWLEGE AS WELL AS CONFIRMING ANCIENT TECKNIQUES. IT WOULD ADD A LOT TO THE STUDY OF ANCIENT ISLAMIC WEAPONS AS IT HAS TO THE TWO MENTIONED ABOVE. A GOOD REPLICA CAN BE TESTED FOR ITS STRENGTHS AS WELL AS WEAKNESS.
THERE ARE POSTS IN THE FORUM ON THE SWORD OF SUTTON HOO AND A GOOD NOVA PROGRAM ABOUT THE ULFBERHT SWORD AS WELL. BOTH WELL WORTH WATCHING AND IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THEM THEY MIGHT GIVE YOU NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE STUDY OF THE SWORDS YOU ARE PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR CONTINUING QUEST.
