Ephemeral Reader Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I came across this YouTube video of a modern blacksmith forging a sword out of a meteorite. It reminded me of House Dayne. Forged from a fallen star? Pale as milk glass? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_PS2l31EhM 'nuff said.(Skip to: https://youtu.be/K_PS2l31EhM?t=1250 to see the finished product.)

plectrum Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Sweet find. It looks remarkably like Damascus steel (which Europeans used to think was magic, if that's not just a legend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular John Umber Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That video is just amazing to watch, in and of itself. The number of processes is mind blowing, and the sword is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow of the Morning Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Amazing. Probably they will show Dawn in the season 6, I am curious to know how the sword will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephemeral Reader Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Amazing. Probably they will show Dawn in the season 6, I am curious to know how the sword will look like. I remember seeing one of the special features for the TV Show in which the showrunners talked about how they were having a hard time finding someone who could smith a convincing Dawn. No one could make the color properly without using paint, which George R R Martin strongly dislikes. Someone should tell them about this guy! Not only is the color acceptable but it's an actual meteorite sword, XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philpenn Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 How do we know that hunk of metal he started out with was an actual meteorite, and not just a meteorite looking hunk of metal? Cool video either way, that's a rad skill. Would rather have just listened to the hammer strikes as opposed to those music choices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
