whats better to quench a sword in?
Finnr replied to geofthesmith's topic in Heat Treating Knives, Blades etc
The blood of a virgin musk ox . But only under the second full moon in Feb. All kidding aside ask ten swordsmiths and you will probably get fifteen answers. Finnr -

Roman spears tended to have split sockets. Being very pragmatic in military matters weapons tended to be produced as cheaply as possible while retaining quality. Bruce Blackstone has a tutorial on spearheads over on Anvilfire that may help. As soon as I snag someone to do pictures while I forge I'm putting together a BP for this site. Finnr
