Description

The Primus version has been developed with close attention to these historical references. The hilt is cast in bronze and finished to reflect the detailing seen on the original artifact, including multi-part construction of the pommel, grip, and guard. The assembly follows traditional methods, with the tang secured through the pommel structure to ensure both authenticity and durability.

The blade is forged from EN45 high carbon steel, featuring a broad double-edged profile with a wide central fuller, consistent with Viking-era sword geometry.
Our other version is made in Pattern welded Damacus steel (birds eye pattern) and made for reenactment/ educational purposes, and not to be used for light or heavy combat.

The proportions and weight distribution are designed to replicate the handling characteristics of historical originals rather than modern interpretations.

The sword is supplied with a wooden scabbard covered in leather, fitted with bronze elements and a suspension loop, reflecting period-correct carrying systems. This piece is available in two configurations: a standard reenactment version and a light combat version, both with blunt edges. The combat version features an edge thickness of approximately 2 to 2.5 mm, suitable for controlled reenactment use.
