The historic Viking sword of the 9th & 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. A simple guard with forward curving quillons was often utilized and combined with a utilitarian wooden handle and a heavy 5 lobed pommel to balance the long blade. Cold Steel’s interpretation of this sword features a double-edged blade that is hand forged out of Carbon steel and hand polished and sharpened to perfection. The wooden handle is covered in leather and is supported by a simple, elegant guard at one end and a 5 lobed pommel at the other. The Viking Sword is supplied with a leather wrapped wooden scabbard that is reinforced with a polished steel chape and throat.
