    With modern materials it's not actually that hard, the only challenging part is having somewhere to heat treat it without burning your house down.
    You can make a functionally better sword by bar reduction now than you can by forging.

    Yes-agreed.

    BTW, have you seen that sword special about the Vikings Ulfberht sword
