Characteristics of the Viking Sword

• Petersen Type H: Inspired by original finds from the 9th-10th century in Birka, Sweden, and classified as Type H/I according to Petersen's typology of Viking swords. This sword brings with it historical authenticity.
• Spring Steel Blade: Forged from high carbon, non-stainless spring steel, oil hardened and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approximately 48-52 HRC. A perfect combination of resistance and lightness.
• Extra Wide Fuller: The wide central channel of the blade makes it flexible and light, making it a reliable companion for your practices and combats.
• Rounded Tip: With approximately 2-2.5mm thick edges and a relatively wide rounded tip, it is ideal for stage combat, giving you security and authenticity.
• Two-Part Pommel: Like historical swords of the era, the pommel is a two-part construction. The full tang of the blade is anchored in the lower section, and the pommel cap is secured to the base by two rivets. This not only improves stability but also authenticity.
• Two Blade Lengths Available: You can choose between the short 64 cm version or the long 74 cm version. The short version is especially suitable for those who are just starting out in fencing and have not yet developed great strength.
• Quality Materials: The leather-covered wooden handle, knob and cast steel guard ensure durability and performance.
• Perfect Balance: With a balance point approximately 10 cm from the guard, you will have absolute control in every movement.
