Product description
The replica sword is based on historical swords employed by the Vikings at the time of the Battle of Stiklestad. This was a bloody battle in which Vikings fought in close combat. Olaf II of Norway was killed here and was subsequently canonised. The Norwegians still celebrate this every year with an open-air spectacle. The guard and pommel are crafted entirely in the early medieval Viking style, with a suede leather grip and brass edges. Not only is the sword pleasing to the eye, it also has excellent balance and is well-suited to thrusting and cutting. The semi-sharp blade is constructed from tempered 1065 carbon steel with a hardness of 48–52 HRC. As a decorative sword it is well-suited to living history or a Viking costume, or as an addition to a sword collection. Should the blade be blunted, it becomes an excellent battle-ready sword for sword fighting and reenactment battles. It is dispatched complete with a scabbard with belt loops.
