Product description

The replica sword is based on historical originals. It is classified as an early Oakeshott Type X, a type of sword that was crafted in the first half of the 10th century.

The Vikings highly regarded strength and power; in the early Middle Ages they plundered monasteries and other places of wealth such as Lindisfarne. At the same time, the Vikings were also farmers — especially opportunists who had to live in difficult and cold areas and were always seeking better places to settle. The ninth century was also the century in which Danish Vikings sought their luck in England. In 871 they fought a major battle against Prince Alfred, later known as Alfred the Great, who led the army of King Ethelred of Wessex. The Vikings lost this battle, but for the remainder of the century they would return to this auspicious land to conquer parts of it.

The sword features a beautiful segmented grip constructed from brown leather, a typical Viking pommel, and a cross-guard with knot motifs from Viking art. The pommel and guard are patinated so that it resembles a genuine antique sword. The sword has a long, wide fuller, permitting a notably light weight and excellent balance. It sits comfortably in the hand. It is dispatched with a very luxurious scabbard with brass scabbard tip and a sword belt, so it may be worn around the waist.

The semi-sharp blade is forged from 1065 carbon steel and tempered to a hardness of 48–52 HRC. The sword is well-suited to display on the wall of your own Viking hall and to your Viking costume or Cosplay from Vikings or Last Kingdom. Should the blade be blunted, it becomes a particularly fine sword for sword fighting, Historical European Martial Arts, and Viking reenactment battles.
