The viking made a precursor to steel by using bones which they believed but the soul of the ancestors in the sword. Has anyone actually tested this? Ive never really forged but my understanding is that you have to add more than just carbon to make steel and let it cool ar a slower rate. Id love to see a side by side durability test using pig/cow bones ground up compared to a typical forge. Thanks for any help.
