Description of the Product
This very popular and affordable weapon features authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blade. This is designed to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today’s re-enactment societies.
The blade is crafted from 1566 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. While the blade is substantial, it is fullered to provide balance and good handling characteristics. The blade features approx. 2-2.5 mm wide cutting edges and rounded tip for safety. The tang is also substantial for excellent durability, with rounded corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel, which eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly. The leather covered hardwood grip is thus permanently mounted.
The scabbard is fabricated of glass-filled resin, to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems, with belt rings that adjust to allow vertical or horizontal carry. The wood-grain finish is attractive, but many re-enactors will decorate the scabbard to match their persona. The Practical Viking sword is based on our Godfred sword, whose design originated in 9th century Scandinavia. The lobate pommel and down-turned guard are typical of Viking swords of the period, as is the broad blade with its deep, full-length fullers. The sword is well-balanced and, with a weight slightly over 1 kg, it is very quick.
