Godfred Early Viking Sword with Sheath, Practice SK-B Roma
Godfred Early Viking Sword with Sheath, Practice SK-B Roma
The original of this beautiful battle-ready reconstruction was once handled by the dreaded Danish king Godfred (also known as Gudfred or Gudr.d). Until his death in 810, King Godfred lived and ruled in Hedeby (also called Haithabu), the main Viking settlement on the Jutland Peninsula (near the town of Schleswig).
The sword dates back to the 8th century and its shape is characteristic of an early medieval Viking sword: a slightly curved forward short guard, a straight double-edged blade with a fuller distinctiveness, and a wide knob with three bumps.
This sword is made exclusively by hand. The protection and knob of three lobes are made of thermally treated malleable cast iron. The spring steel blade is hand-riveted to the knob. The handle is wrapped with wide leather straps. The blade is tempered in oil up to 48-50 rockwell and has a distinctive fuller that offers great flexibility and lower weight. The edges of the blade are dull and the tip is rounded for added safety.
The beautiful leather-lined wooden sheath features two straps with buckles. These can be attached, for example, to the straps of your own sword belt.
