Viking knife from Gotland

Gift Viking Knife From Gotland

Viking knife based on a historical model from Gotland



This high-quality Viking knife was handcrafted based on an original find from Gotland (Sweden, approx. 9th/10th century). The hand-forged carbon steel blade has been sharpened and the forged black layer of scales left on the blade surface gives the knife a rustic look. As with many typical Gotland knives from the Viking era, the walnut handle ends at the blade with a layer of bone and a brass bolster. The handle cap with a practical eyelet (for attaching a lanyard or for conveniently removing the knife from the sheath) is also made of brass. The beautiful tanned leather sheath with richly decorated brass fittings is equipped with a ring and a belt loop. This means that the Viking knife can be comfortably worn on the belt (maximum belt width approx. 5 cm).



This knife with a functional blade is designed as a collector's item or decorative object.
