Viking Sword
When you wrap your hands around this hand crafted sword, you will feel like you are standing on the bow of a Viking ship headed for enemy waters. Battle ready Viking Swords, when you want more than just a wall hanger, is the first choice of discriminating collectors and re-enactors. Hand forged from tough high-carbon steel by the finest craftsman, these swords are built for use. Individually crafted guards and pommels from solid steel.
The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but was just acute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was often utilised and combined with an equally utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass.
