But what really makes this Viking sword unique are the unusual features of its crossguard and pommel. This Viking sword, classified as Petersen Type G, is a rare and uncommon set of single-edged swords that are characterized by a lower guard and an upper guard or pommel. Typically, these types of guards have a tapered end and twist into symmetrical spirals. Although only a few finds of this type of sword are known, experts believe that they originated in Norway during the 9th and 10th centuries.

The wooden handle of the sword is carefully wrapped with a thin brown leather strap that provides a comfortable and secure grip. In addition, it is supplied with a strong, high-quality scabbard made of brown leather and beautiful, sturdy braided stitching to safely store the sword.

It is advisable to note that this sword is not suitable for display combat due to the sharp tip of the blade. However, it is perfect for completing any Norse warrior costume and is also an ideal choice for home decoration.

The steel blade is not resistant to corrosion, so it is advisable to maintain it regularly with a quality universal oil, such as Ballistol, which is suitable for steel products.

As for the technical specifications, the sword has a total length of about 82 cm, with a blade length of about 67 cm and a handle length of about 15 cm. The width of the blade is about 4.5 cm and the thickness of the blade is about 4 mm, with a fluted edge of between 1.5 and 2 mm.
