Archeology in some Icelandic burial sites have found over a hundred weapons interred with their owners as grave goods. Of that number only sixteen were swords. Though the sword held great reverence in Viking society, it was not the most common of weapons – spears and seax hold that distinction.
In the dark ages and the early medieval period, swords were notably more difficult to make than spears and axes. A rudimentary, but functional spear or axe merely needs to be made durably, but a sword requires good steel and a skillful tempering, for it needs to flex and return true, not bend or break. This requires a much more skillful level of smithing than is needed for the forging of spears, axes and small seax.
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.
