The Dilbert sword becomes a lot more effective when you replace the standard runes with ones describing restroom blowjobs or cool ranches.

In fairness those pissy swords may be a lot better than the ulfberht as they may be made out of far more advanced materials, like vanadium hsla steel

This while thing is obviously really cool tho, the whole mystery surrounding this hyper-advanced tech of its age is awesome!

Vikings only used axes and mostly they were high carbon axes coated in nanotubes.

Hell, even a cheap W1 steel might be an improvement.

That said, all props and respect to the founders of the iron age. Even with a shitload of silicon and carbon it's still a challenge to melt iron. And actual steel is a beast.

I'm not talking of wanking off about which sword is 'better', just the talent and skill in making it.

Five boners for the martensitic transition! That gets my dick to a hardness of Rockwell 60+!!!!

"After 11 hours of pounding, Rick has transformed memedumpster into a man."

And here you go.

00 in viking money is like two monks, 1&1/2 pigs and a well bred Anglo-Saxon woman. Is that worth a nice sword that you'll most likely drop in the north sea? I don't know, I like my self some porking after porking.

All the fancy swords in the world won't save you when King Harold busts your shinny scale-mailed arses.

Please, King Harold was a bitch. The only reason he beat Hardrada was because God wanted to punish the English by saddling them with French kings.

Done, and glad ya'll enjoyed it.
