The world of Viking chieftains and Norse explorers can be experienced with this hand-forged decorative Viking steel sword, designed to reflect the classic lines of the early medieval swords prized throughout Scandinavia. For Viking warriors, swords were more than weapons: they were relics, status symbols, and sometimes spiritual companions buried with their owners. Lobed pommels like the one on this example were common in wealthier graves and often signified high rank or success in battle.

This piece is inspired by 9th and 10th-century originals found in burial mounds and riverbanks across Northern Europe. The broad, unsharpened blade is forged from sturdy, high-carbon steel, giving it an authentic feel and ideal balance for historical displays. The lobed brass pommel and curved brass crossguard highlight the craftsmanship valued by Viking warriors, combining status and function in a single, elegant design.

For those wishing to create a Viking or medieval atmosphere, this sword offers a polished, museum-worthy look. The genuine leather scabbard is stitched and finished with brass mounts, completing the ensemble with a sophisticated finish. Whether displayed on a wall, carried to a fair, or featured in a medieval photograph, this sword evokes the power and artistry of Norse legend.

Unlike modern bladed swords marketed as "functional," this sword is built solely for decorative purposes. The term "functional" here refers to solid construction and authentic proportions, not its suitability for cutting or live combat.

This decorative sword honors that heritage with a historically inspired silhouette, traditional materials, and detailed finishing.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• For optimal preservation, store the sword in a dry place
• To protect the blade, apply a light coat of mineral oil to resist corrosion.
• To clean it, use a soft cloth to gently remove dust.

This sword is decorative. All blades are unsharpened and not intended for any cutting, sparring, or live combat use.
