This extensively detailed Viking sword is a recreation of an original 9th century burial find from Hedeby (Haithabu) in Denmark. The original sword hilt is in very good condition and its numerous etched symbols and knotwork make it stand out as a finely crafted sword for its time – it was likely the sword of a Danish noble, chieftain or champion who stared down the borders of the nearby Carolingian Empire.

\nThis replica has a forged and tempered blade of high carbon steel. The well-cast guard and pommel are of brass and recreate the highly detailed etched symbols of the original. The grip is hardwood which is bound in tight and stitched red leather. Included with the sword is a scabbard of wood which is tightly wrapped in red leather and completed with antiqued and highly detailed brass fittings and a hanging loop of brass which allow for you to wear the sword with your own baldric or belt.
