Early Viking Godfred Sword with Scabbard



The original of this beautiful reconstruction belonged to the feared Danish king Godfred (also called Gudfred or Gudrød ). King Godfred lived in Haithabu (near Schleswig), the most important Viking settlement in Jutland, until his death in 810.



The sword dates from the 8th century and has the typical shape of an early medieval Viking sword: a short, slightly forward-curving crossguard, a straight, double-edged blade with a broader, fuller pommel with three ridges.
< br>

This sword is exclusively handmade. The crossguard and the pommel with three ridges are made of forged and heat-treated cast iron. The spring steel blade extends to the pommel, where it is hand-riveted. The handle is wrapped with a wide leather strap. The blade has a pronounced groove, which gives the sword great elasticity and at the same time lightness. It is oil-hardened to approx. 48-50 HRC. The edges of the blade are not sharpened.



The sword comes with a very nice wooden leather sheath with two buckles attached to straps. You can, for example, fasten the straps to your own sword accessory.



This is the standard version of this early medieval sword. The same sword is also available in a combat-ready version with a blunt blade and rounded tip: art. 0116696606.
