Product description

The sword has been crafted after a 10th-century original excavated in England. Swords of this kind were employed throughout Europe between the 9th and 12th centuries. This type is amongst the most frequently excavated forms of medieval sword.

It has a length of 91 cm with a blade of 79 cm and a max. width of 4,2 cm. The blade is constructed from carbon steel with a hardness of approx. 52 HRC. The grip is crafted from wood and wrapped round with leather. The sword weighs approx. 1250 g.

Baldr was the god of light and beauty. He was married to Nanna and had a son, Forseti. Baldr was immortal, except when wounded by weapons crafted from mistletoe. The god Loki fashioned a spear of mistletoe and had Baldr's blind brother, Höðr, throw it. Baldr died and thus gave rise to Ragnarok.

This sword is an Oakeshott type X.
