Viking sword with sheath, five-lobe knob
Viking sword with sheath, five-lobe knob
Beautiful reconstruction of a 10th century Viking sword, based on archaeological finds made in England.
As early as the 8th century, isolated groups of Vikings would descend sporadically off the British coast in search of easy loot. However, from the ninth century onwards, the Scandinavians changed their strategy and began to conquer lands and settle in England.
This sword is made exclusively by hand. The protection and the characteristic knob with five bumps are made of thermally treated malleable cast iron. The blade is hand-riveted to the knob. The handle has leather straps. The spring steel blade is oil tempered up to approx. 48th 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 wooden sheath is lined in leather and features a wooden belt clip (maximum belt width 5 cm), as well as a richly ornate brass layer.
