10th Century Seven-Lobed Viking Sword

Seven-lobed pommel swords belong to the later development of Viking Age hilt designs and are generally dated to the 10th century. These elaborate pommels evolved from earlier three- and five-lobed forms and demonstrate the increasing artistic sophistication of Scandinavian metalwork during the late Viking Age. Similar examples have been recovered from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Viking settlements across the British Isles, with classifications appearing in Jan Petersen’s typology and later studies by Ian Peirce.

The Deepeeka 10th Century Seven-Lobed Viking Sword faithfully recreates one of the more distinctive sword styles of the late Viking Age. Featuring the characteristic seven-lobed pommel, broad Viking blade, leather-covered grip, and matching leather-covered wood-core scabbard, this handcrafted replica reflects the craftsmanship and prestige associated with Norse warriors of the 10th century. It is supplied unsharpened for historical reenactment, educational interpretation, museum display, and private collections.

Among Viking swords, few features are as visually striking as the elegant seven-lobed pommel. Emerging during the later Viking Age, these sophisticated hilt designs represented the continued refinement of Scandinavian sword making and reflected both functional craftsmanship and artistic expression.

Unlike the simpler earlier lobed pommels, the seven-lobed form displays greater complexity and balance, making it one of the more recognizable prestige styles of the 10th century. Such swords were valued possessions, often accompanying high-status individuals in burial and serving as symbols of wealth, honour, and personal achievement.

This Deepeeka reproduction captures the distinctive proportions and elegant appearance of the original Viking examples while remaining suitable for today’s collectors, museums, living history groups, and educational institutions.

The sword features the characteristic heat-blued seven-lobed peened pommel, a leather-covered grip, and a broad double-edged blade inspired by surviving archaeological finds. A leather-covered wood-core scabbard fitted with traditional suspension rings completes the presentation.

Every piece is handcrafted using traditional assembly methods that preserve the appearance and spirit of original Viking Age swords.

The broad blade reflects the versatile nature of Viking swords, offering excellent balance and authentic proportions. Supplied with an unsharpened edge, this replica is intended for:

  • Living history
  • Historical reenactment
  • Museum collections
  • Educational demonstrations
  • Film and television productions
  • Viking displays
  • Private collections

Its authentic appearance makes it equally suitable for display or historical interpretation while providing safer handling during reenactment activities where permitted.
