Product description

The Viking sword is a replica of an 11th-century sword discovered in a swamp near Dybek in Sweden; the original is on display at the Historiska Museet in Stockholm. It is a Petersen type Z. The pommel and cross-guard are richly decorated with birds, snakes and tendrils in the Winchester style, making the sword perhaps the most beautiful excavated Viking sword in Scandinavia. Archaeologists suspect that the sword originated in England or was based on English metalwork. It was probably owned by a Viking noble owing to their close contact with England. The strong blade is crafted from tempered EN45 carbon steel and features a wide fuller. The edge is 1 mm thick, so the sword may also be finished blunted or razor sharp. The lobed pommel is peened, the grip is wrapped with brass wire, and the tang continues into the pommel. The sword is dispatched together with a beautifully decorated scabbard that may be hung from the belt. The original method of producing Damascus steel from Wootz steel was lost in the modern era. Nowadays, the name Damascus steel is employed as a generic term for pattern-welded, laminated or melted steel constructed from two or more different steel types.
