This one-handed sword is a classic example of a Norse weapon, as wielded by the Vikings. It presents the typical characteristics of a traditional sword from the Middle Ages: a short guard, a double-edged straight blade with a broad handle and a distinctive multi-lobed pommel.
The blade of this replica is forged in Damascus steel. The edges are not sharp and the full tang of the blade is riveted to the pommel. The central wooden hilt is bound in red leather and features richly decorated brass rings at either end. The approx. The 14 cm long, 2 cm thick guard and oversized five-lobed pommel are cast in brass and faithfully recreate the highly detailed etched motifs and patterns of the original artifact. Includes genuine leather sheath and brass fittings.
This early medieval one-handed sword comes complete with a red wood and leather scabbard with finely detailed, aged brass neck, cape and clasp (maximum belt width 6cm).
Please note that this sword is not a battle-ready weapon. It is designed as a collector's item or decoration/display item and is not suitable for combat reenactment. In addition to its quality as a collectible, it also fits perfectly as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
This beautifully detailed Viking sword is a reconstruction of a finely crafted and remarkably well preserved burial find excavated at Hedeby (also called Haithabu) and believed to have belonged to a 9th century Danish nobleman or wealthy Viking warrior. The original archaeological piece is on display at the Hedeby Viking Museum.
The Viking Age site of Hedeby, the most important Viking settlement and trading place on the Jutland peninsula (near the city of Schleswig, once in Danish territory and now in northern Germany), was inscribed on the List UNESCO World Heritage in 2018.
