Norman one-handed sword, combat sword, Category-B
The Normans were direct descendants of the Vikings who settled in northern France in the 10th century. However, they were in no way inferior to their ancestors in terms of fighting spirit, courage, and martial skill. It is no surprise that of all the swords of the early Middle Ages, Norman swords most closely resemble Viking swords.
This battle-ready reconstruction of a Norman one-handed sword from ulfberth® is fully in the tradition of this extremely dynamic sword type.
Typologically, the sword can be clearly classified as an Oakshott type. The crossguard is type 6, and the Brazil nut pommel, so typical of Norman swords, is type A.
The forged EN45 spring steel blade is oil-hardened and tempered to approximately 50 HRC. It is forged up to the pommel and riveted there to the end of the handle. The wooden handle is wrapped in leather. The crossguard is forged from steel. The blade has a pronounced groove, giving the sword great elasticity yet lightness. The blade tip and cutting edges are blunt and rounded. This one-handed sword is made exclusively by hand.
The sword is delivered without a scabbard. A matching leather scabbard is optionally available (item number: 0107000104).
