Description
Blacksmithing was a vital trade in the Viking Age, producing everything from the tools for working the land, to the clinch-nails of Viking ships and expensive swords and mail. The blacksmith may also have been a revered figure, and associated with the legendary smiths Völundr and Regin. There is a blacksmith in residence at the Ribe VikingCenter, who carries out experiments with extracting iron from ore, and producing different items needed in the centre.
