Gramr, the sword with which Sigurðr slays the dragon Fáfnir in the \u003ci\u003eSaga of the Völsungs\u003c\/i\u003e, had been broken and then reforged. Skofnung, the sword of Hrólfr Kraki, was said to be the finest blade ever carried in Scandinavia. And archaeology confirms this value: more than a hundred Scandinavian blades have been unearthed bearing the inscription \u003cb\u003e+VLFBERH+T\u003c\/b\u003e, forged from crucible steel of a purity that Europe would not be able to reproduce for centuries.
