Blade: 1055 Carbon Handle Length: 6" Blade Finish: NA Lock Type: NA Blade Style: Opener Type: NA Edge Style: Plain Weight: 18.4oz. Carry Type: Scabbard The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but was just acute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was often utilized and combined with an equally utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass. What really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporaries was its heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade. Our sword has features in common with its historical counterpart. It has a double edged blade, hand forged out of high carbon steel and then polished to a brilliant lustre. 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 house the keen double edge blade each of our swords is supplied with a wood scabbard covered in black leather and reinforced with a highly polished steel chape and throat.

Looked good when I opened the box September 26, 2008 Reviewer: Ian Wold from New York, NY United States   This is an ornament that may look good on your wall but the one I purchased was NOT battle ready and after striking a few old rotten logs in the backyard, the handle became loose.  Then the pommel became loose as I was cutting some long goldenrod.  Do not waste your money if you are looking for some sturdy construction.  The blade comes sharp and it looks like some good steel, but the craftsmanship is poor.
