The grave was dated 1100AD, however the swords form itself suggests and earlier date of origin. It would not be unusual for a sword like this to be a family sword which had been buried with it's final heir. This stunning version of the famous viking sword features a highly detailed knot work pattern throughout the pommel, guard and grip with additional bands and inserts. The sword comes complete with a rich leather scabbard and matching with equally detailed fittings while sporting a baldric for wearing this powerful sword. All of the sword and scabbard fittings have been lavishly plated in a rich copper.

Forged for Function

The blade has been hand forged out of tough and resilient 1080 high carbon steel capable of holding a very sharp edge. The blade typical of it's era has a deep wide #fuller designed to lighten the blade without compromising its strength. The blade is expertly tempered and has a full tang which is an extension of the blade that is traditionally peened over the pommel. Comes factory sharp.
