This was a very interesting read, thanks for sharing. I had never heard of these kinds of swords before. I have heard of Damascus steel for sure, but never the Ulfberht sword. I think people have always shown a keen sense when it comes to business dealings and the assumption that it was strategic branding is probably correct.

Damascus is on my list to do, but as you said, it is the more commonly known type. I always thought this was more interesting in the branding/marketing sense as well
Glad you enjoyed it
