Description

This model has been developed in association with Keith Wescovich, ensuring a careful balance between archaeological accuracy and functional performance. His involvement reinforces the sword’s grounding in historical typology and practical handling characteristics.

The blade is forged from high carbon steel and shaped with the broad, efficient cutting profile typical of Viking swords. The hilt is cast in brass with detailed finishing, while the grip is constructed over a wooden core and wrapped securely for durability and authenticity.

A matching wooden scabbard, bound in leather and fitted with period-appropriate hardware, completes the piece—making it suitable for collectors, reenactors, and serious enthusiasts of Viking Age weaponry.
