The story behind the functional Viking sword

In the 8th century, the Vikings first landed on British shores with the aim of obtaining easy loot. But in the 9th century, they changed their strategy and began attacking and conquering lands in England. To do so, they turned to their war equipment and used weapons and tools specifically designed for battle.

One of the most important tools in the Viking warrior's arsenal was the sword. With the proliferation of warfare and territorial expansion, Viking swords became a cultural symbol and a key weapon in Viking warfare. The 10th Century Functional Viking Sword is an authentic and meticulously detailed recreation of the weapons Viking warriors used in the period.

Details and characteristics of the sword

The functional Viking sword is handcrafted and true to historical specifications. The guard and the distinctive pommel with five ridges are forged from steel. The blade is hand-riveted to the pommel. The hilt is wrapped in leather, providing a good grip and an authentic user experience.

In addition, the blade is made of EN45 spring steel, heat treated to approximately 48 HRC, which gives it great flexibility and lower weight. The blade edges are not sharpened, which increases safety during handling and storage.

The leather-covered wooden scabbard features a belt loop (max. 5 cm belt width) as well as a richly decorated brass ferrule. The sword has a total length of approximately 95.5 cm, with a blade length of approximately 79 cm and a maximum blade width of approximately 43 mm.
