The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wideblade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke wasa hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but was justacute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curvingquillons was often utilized and combined with an equally utilitarian woodenhandle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass. What reallymade the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporarieswas its heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade. Our sword hasfeatures in common with its historical counterpart. It has a double edgedblade, hand forged out of high carbon steel and then polished to a brilliantlustre. The wooden handle is covered in leather and is supported by a simple,elegant guard at one end and an equally handsome 5 lobed pommel at the other.Both guard and pommel feature traditional Celtic knot embellishments. To housethe keen double edge blade each of our swords is supplied with a wood scabbardcovered in black leather and reinforced with a highly polished steel chape andthroat.
