Viking knife from Gotland

Gift Gotland Viking Knife

Viking knife based on a historical Gotland model

This high-quality Viking knife was handcrafted based on an original find from Gotland (Sweden, circa 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 Age, the walnut handle ends with a bone layer 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 the Viking knife can be comfortably worn on a belt (maximum belt width approx. 5 cm).

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