>this kills the Roman

What's that wavy design on the metal of these swords?

Pretty sure it's damascus steel

THICC

And it should always be noted that such a practice was used for hundreds and hundreds of years. Somebody I knew who (rightly) hated mall ninja shit called the "wavy" lines in certain reproductions "dumb modern gimmicks to make the blade look cool".

It's been a gimmick to make blades look cool for fucking ever.

It butchers Rome's tuna

To be fair, damascus steel has big advantages. The thing is, the wavy design is just to make it look cool. You don't need to do that shit.

>this kills the Swad*an

went to museum last week

Hermitage brought their weapons exhibition to my city

Swords on picrelated are actually very big, the biggest one is about 1.5m long and it was supposed to be duelling sword too

several knight armours, early guns, shields from all over, chain mails

It was pretty cash

You have feminine hips

I thought the knowledge of producing Damascus Steel was lost centuries ago?

Are the inscriptions on the blade verses of scripture or hadiths or something?

The precise technique is a bit iffy, but it's basically all wootz (ie. crucible) steel. There are people who make blades out of wootz steal they cook up in homemade forges; you can find any number of videos and documentaries online.

People have been able to reproduce the material. Whether the technique is exactly the same is unknown but the result is pretty much the same.

That's at the NY Met, right? That whole wing is just sex.

That an Albion user?

Pattern welding. Scandinavians were doing that too.

Except that Indian iron ore used for wootz also had tungsten in it, which was making tungsten carbide during the process, which contributed to pattern and durability of those fine weapons.

>conquers and subjugates ur people

Oops

Pretty sure the wavy pattern in Damascus steel was because of the folding and carbon content. Modern reproductions that say they're "Damascus steel" aren't actually Damascus steel but just normal sword with the pattern recreated with pattern welding.

are you talking about wootz( aka crucible steel, aka real damascus steel) or just any generic pattern welded steel?
