Saxon sword, 9th century



With this reconstruction of a 9th century Saxon sword, the swordsmiths at Cas Hanwei have outdone themselves once again. They used techniques already used by Saxons and Vikings to create a stunning blade with a damascened core and edges made from high-quality carbon steel. Using this technique, the ancient swordsmiths were able to produce sharp, durable and decorative blades. Thanks to Hanwei, they are now affordable, centuries later.



This beautiful sword is based on a 9th century original found on the banks of a river in Yorkshire, England, in 1976 and now on display at the York Museum.
