Viking sword made of Dybäck with scabbard

The hilt is covered in gold wire and decorated with elaborate engravings of birds, snakes and other intertwined creatures. The animal and plant motifs suggest that the sword may have originated in England, or at least been heavily influenced by the metalworking style popular at the time.

This style was preferred by Scandinavian nobility, who maintained close contacts with England during this period. Given the precious materials and high-quality craftsmanship, it is likely that this sword was a prestigious weapon owned by a wealthy or high-status person.

Our reconstruction of the Viking Dybäck sword features a straight, double-edged blade made of EN45 hardened spring steel, with a wide hollow groove and unsharpened cutting edges. The hilt includes a short, slightly curved cross-guard, a grip area heavily wrapped in brass wire, and a generous pommel with a slightly curved base and a trilobed "cap." The guard and base of the pommel are decorated with highly detailed engravings and motifs, as faithful as possible to the original artifact. As with many preserved historical examples from this period, the pommel is a two-part construction: the blade tang is screwed to the lower section, and the upper cap is attached to the base with two small rivets.

Other specifications include an overall length of approximately 92 cm and a blade length of approximately 74 cm with a thickness of 4 mm (edges approximately 1 mm). The hilt is 18 cm long, with the grip area approximately 9.5 cm long and the maximum width of the blade approximately 4.5 cm. The center of gravity is approximately 12.5 cm in front of the guard, and the sword weighs approximately 1.1 kg without the scabbard and approximately 1.7 kg with the scabbard.
Finally, please note that the steel used in this sword is not stainless and may show slight signs of corrosion over time. Regular care, such as using a universal oil like Ballistol, can help maintain the integrity of the blade. Don't miss out on this beautiful and unique historical reproduction.
