This concerns replicating the Sutton Hoo Sword blade only
which was a complicated piece of work. It ended up displayed
in tandem with the original in the British Museum.

The other article I have on this is in the Knives '90 annual.
It makes very interesting reading. The sword is pattern-welded
with differing patterns on either side of the blade.
