Product description
In close collaboration with the martial arts instructor Volker Kunkel and his West Coast Institute, Ulfberth has developed this sword, which is well-suited to sword fighting. The goal was to offer a sturdy yet light, well-balanced combat sword for those on a tighter budget. Volker brought his years of experience as an instructor and trainer in fencing to bear here. The Ulfberth team, together with its swordsmiths, has translated these specifications into a Viking sword for battles with a very good price-quality ratio. The sword is modelled on original finds from the 9th/10th century in Britain, classified as Type L according to the Petersen typology for Viking swords. It is constructed from forged spring steel that has been hardened in oil and subsequently tempered. It has a Rockwell hardness of 48–52 HRC, and the very wide groove permits both flexibility and lightness. The cutting edges are approximately 2–2.5mm thick, and the sword comes with a rounded, relatively wide tip to meet the requirements for tournament use. The sword has a typical three-lobed Viking pommel, pinned, with continuous tang construction. This sword is the long version.
