Cold Steel - Viking Sword

The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke with this ferocious weapon was a determined slash or mighty chopping blow. A simple but functional guard with forward curving quillons was often utilized and combined with an equally utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass. What really made the Viking Sword so distinctively recognizable from its contemporaries was the heavy 5 lobed pommel used to balance the long blade and keep it lively in the hand.
Cold Steels modern interpretation of this sword has a super wide, double edged blade that is hand forged out of high carbon steel and then polished to a brilliant lustre. The wooden handle is covered in leather and is supported by a simple, elegant guard at one end and an equally handsome 5 lobed pommel at the other. This battle ready beast comes with twin combat sharp edges that are safely and securely sheathed in a beautiful wood and leather scabbard that is further reinforced with a highly polished steel chape and throat.
