This reproduction, blunt for combat, is one of the most popular swords from the late Viking Age. By the high Middle Ages, Viking swords had begun to lose some of their more characteristic features like the wide, low-tapering blade and the lobed pommel. Viking swords began to look more like the characteristic longswords of the Middle Ages. This true to original replica has replaced the lobe pommel with the brazil-nut shape and the short, thick guard of earlier weapons has thinned and extended into a characteristic medieval cruciform. This sword is exclusively hand-crafted. The blade is hand-riveted to the pommel. The hilt is leather-strapped. The spring steel blade is oil-tempered to approx. 48° Rockwell and has a distinctive fuller which offers both great flexibility and a lesser weight. The edges of the blade are blunt and the tip is rounded for safety. The beautiful wooden scabbard is leather-wrapped and features a wooden belt loop (max. belt width 5 cm) as well as a richly adorned brass chape. Details: Blade material: spring steel EN45, heat-treated Rockwell hardness of blade: 48-50° HRC Overall length: approx. 95 cm Blade length: approx. 79,5 cm Max. blade width: approx. 55 mm Including leather-wrapped wooden scabbard Weight (without scabbard): approx. 1400 g Specs may slightly vary from piece to piece. The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
