This sword is characteristic of the swords used by Vikings in the latter part of the ‘’Viking Age’’ in the 11th Century. The wide blade and ‘’tea cosy’’ pommel are typical of Viking swords found in areas colonized by Vikings in northern France and Germany. The Bayeax Tapestry depicts a sword with a pommel identical to this one being worn by William the Conqueror, the famous Norman whose ancestors were Viking colonists. These swords, with wide, fullered blades, could chop and slice with great power, whilst retaining flex and durability for the clash of blades and the accidental strike against a stout shield.
This sword is available in “R” & “F” Versions. “R” is regular version is tempered and hardened and features traditional shaping, making it a great choice for display or carrying to complete your look.
“F” Version is combat version, the blade is heat treated, edges are around 2mm thick and the tip of the blade is “rounded off” making it suitable for light use in sparring and reenactment.
