Well thanks for sharing. I know they already did an episode on it before several years ago concerning the metallurgical make up of the sword. I don't remember the black smith they had make the sword but it might be the same guy.
I'm not sure, but might that be the same as this? Odd that a season premiere would be a repeat, but the description sure fits.Quote:

It's an interesting show, and I think it makes it pretty clear just how remarkable those blades were. Well worth watching, IMHO.
Thats the video I was at least talking about. I mean it is a cool video. I have always loved Nova.
