I watched it on Netflix when I saw it. Check out the blacksmiths web site! He has some awesome stuff!

Love the Viking stuff!  Incredible how much knowledge they have of these particular swords.  Is this the one that shows two versions of the swords?  The "real" originals and the knock-offs from the same time period?

I have seen it before and was going to post about it.
Quite a primitive skill the repo maker has.
Thanks for posting and knowing what we like Pat.
