Re: Interesting Article
Excellent read Dave
I love the Viking swords and some were very high quality folded steel and iron.
Have you read about the battle of Stamford bridge?
I love the part about the Viking beserker halting the Saxons advance.
Hope our TalkBlade Viking is doing well

Yes Ian I have read several stories about that battle and England gave the Vikings a right proper shellacking.gravknife wrote:Have you read about the battle of Stamford bridge?
300 ships came to the shore and only twenty some odd ships went back to Norway.
Pete I have not watched any of that series but would like to find it on ebay as you said.tequiza wrote:We have all 4 seasons of the Vikings on dvd
My girlfriend brought home two DVD's a few weeks back, one was Valhalla Rising and a tv series called Barbarians.
A 4-part documentary about the Vikings, Goths, Mongols, and Huns and it was awesome, I watched it twice it was so good.
If you haven't seen Valhalla Rising it's a must see movie, very surreal and beautifully filmed in Scotland and I really like the main actor Mads Mikkelsen a Danish actor that also played the bad guy in Casino Royale (007).

Re: Interesting Article
Dave, you should be able to find seasons 1-4 on ebay, well worth watching! they kicked ass for over 350 years.
I have the DVD Barbarians rising and it is for sure one hell of an awesome movie! I don't have Valhalla rising yet, but i'll look for it next time I go to wallyworld.
Here's a set on ebay,

Season II (2007) featured the Vandals, Saxons, Franks and the Lombards.

That hilt shown on the far right looks to have had something engraved in the center depression. Like maybe it is an Ulfberht which were exceptional swords.
