Product description

The Normans were direct descendants of the Vikings, who settled in northern France in the 10th century. They were not inferior to the Vikings in terms of fighting spirit, courage and military talent. It is unsurprising, therefore, that their swords bear the greatest resemblance to those of the Vikings, compared to other swords from the High Middle Ages. This replica is entirely in the tradition of this particularly dynamic type of sword. Typologically the sword may be clearly classified as Oakshott Type X. The crossguard is Type No. 6 and the pommel, characteristic of Norse swords, is of Type A. The forged blade of EN45 spring steel is oil-hardened and tempered to approximately 48–50 HRC. It extends to the pommel and is riveted to the end of the grip. The wooden grip is wrapped in leather. The crossguard is forged from steel. The blood gutter runs the full length of the blade, which lends the sword great resilience and lightness simultaneously. The point and edges are blunt and rounded. The sword is crafted exclusively by hand and is supplied without a scabbard.
