You know, the kind of swords that were everything like what we expect from katana in modern popculture. With the small difference that we have no more reason to believe that katana actually were any good. The damascus steel wikipedia page was actually pretty interesting. I didn't even know superplasticity was a real word. Yeah I thought he was basing it on Damascus steel given the ripples in the metal and all. Actually, Ulfberhts are made from crucible steel and Damascus steel is also a type of crucible steel, so they are similar in that regard. The documentary is probably this one: That documentary was really cool. I was really looking forward to seeing them put it on a hilt and all... But nope :-( | ||

Martin Because a fantasy writer who picks a name based on another, more illustrious fantasy writer, is intentionally trying to get people to mix it up, reap positive associations. Pretty sure he didnt choose his name :o Well, technically he did. He was born George R. Martin and added the second R. at age 13. But the larger point is that an author gets to call themselves whatever they want. Even if they stick with their legal name, there's quite a bit of flexibility. Middle names can be used or omitted as desired, abbreviated or kept at full length. Hell, they can even be used as first names. There's obviously an intentionality to Martin's choice of moniker; and there's nothing wrong with that. The guy is pretty open about trying to carry on Tolkien's legacy in the face of all watered-down nonsense floating about. | ||
