Blacksmith at Ribe VikingCenter
Living History
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.<br /><br /><span>For more information about the Center, see item </span><a href="http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/1007" target="_blank">#1007</a><span> and the section on Blacksmithing on the Center's </span><a href="http://www.ribevikingecenter.dk/en/learn-more/the-blacksmith.aspx" target="_blank">website</a>
