Viking sword with scabbard, 10th century, suitable for combat show, sk-b

Apart from the axe, the most important weapon of the Vikings was the sword. This was also reflected in their faith. Warriors who died in battle only entered Valhalla if they died with a sword in their hand. The wealth of forms that the Vikings displayed when designing their crafts was not limited to swords.

Our replica of a 10th century Viking sword, suitable for show battles, is the result of our own intensive research and fencing work. The initial goal was to create a proper reconstruction, which would then serve as a model for series production of both a combat-ready version and a decorative or sharpenable version. We have deliberately chosen a type of sword that is not often found as a replica. We have relied heavily on original finds described in the relevant specialist literature. However, we have adapted the shape and length of the blade, as well as the dimensions of the handle, to the body size of today's people and the demands of modern combat.

Typologically, swords of this type are classified as Petersen Type S or Wheeler Type III . When designing the boat we based ourselves on the Type 10 combination , as described by Geibig.

This Viking sword is exclusively handmade. The forged blade made of EN45 spring steel was oil-quenched and tempered at approx. 48-50 HRC. It has a pronounced groove, which gives the sword great elasticity and at the same time lightness. It is forged up to the pommel and riveted there to the end of the handle. The tip of the blade and the cutting edges are blunt and rounded. The crossguard is forged from steel and the wooden handle is wrapped in leather. Delivery includes a leather-covered wooden scabbard with an elegant, richly decorated muzzle and a silver-plated brass placemat.
