Description
Here we have a Viking-style sword that carries the spirit of the early medieval Germanic warriors. The blade is hand-forged from high carbon steel, achieving a careful balance of strength and flexibility,qualities any smith would strive for in a functional weapon meant for both combat and endurance. The grip is shaped from solid wood and topped with a brass eagle emblem, reflecting the Germanic tribes’ deep respect for this bird as a symbol of courage and keen vision. Both the guard and pommel are cast in antique brass, providing a solid handguard and counterweight that help maintain the blade’s balance and handling in the heat of battle. This sword comes mounted on a wooden wall plaque for display and includes a certificate of authenticity, marking it as a faithful reproduction of these storied arms. A matching scabbard is available separately for those wishing to complete the set.
- Overall length: 42-1⁄2″
- Blade length: 34-3⁄4″, 2″ wide, 3⁄16″ thick
- Weight: 3 lbs 10 oz
Fun fact: Viking swords were often given names and treated almost like living companions, passed down through generations and sometimes even inscribed with runes for protection or luck in battle.
