Viking sword with scabbard for practice, S. XI. The battle-ready one-handed sword offered here is an interpretation of an 11th-century Viking sword. This type of sword (Oakeshott Type X) represents the transition from the Viking sword to the medieval or knightly sword, and the many surviving examples testify to its popularity both in the late Viking Age and in the High Middle Ages.
The double-edged, hardened EN45 spring steel blade tapers slightly towards the tip and is approx. Fuller 2 cm wide extending almost the entire length of the blade on both sides. The thick edges are not sharpened and the full tang of the blade is riveted to the pommel. The wooden grip has a tight binding of brown leather cord. It is framed by a robust pommel and a straight crosspiece, both made of steel. The guard is approx. 16.5 cm long and approx. 2 cm thick at its center, with hawks tapering to approx. 0.5 cm in cylindrical shape.
This one handed sword comes complete with a brown wood and leather scabbard.
This sword is a battle ready weapon. The 1.5mm/2mm thick blunt edges and rounded tip of the blade make it ideal for light combat reenactment, stage fighting or sparring.
