Viking sword with sheath



The historic Viking sword from the 9th and 10th centuries had a long, broad blade with a wide central groove and two sharpened edges. Since this blade was designed for slashing and chopping according to the preferred fighting technique at the time, it had a rather rounded tip, which was still pointed enough to be able to stab well. A simple, forward-curved crossguard was often combined with a practical handle made of leather-covered wood (sometimes bone or even brass) and a solid pommel with five ridges to balance the long blade.



Cold Steels® interpretation of this sword features a hand-forged, double-edged carbon steel blade that has been hand polished and sharpened to perfection. The wooden handle is wrapped in leather and framed by simple yet elegant quillons and a five-ridged pommel. The crossguard and pommel are decorated with traditional knot patterns.



A leather-covered wooden scabbard with polished steel cap and mouthpiece is included.
