Description
his new version of Deepeeka’s Hersir Viking Sword has improved distal taper to make the sword easier to use, whilst remaining thick and durable enough for edge on edge stage and sport combat. The Hersir is a broad-bladed Viking sword of the 9th – 10th centuries; most swords of its type were unearthed from the Birka Barrows in Sweden and the particular sword that this replica is modeled after comes from a 1949 find that had a distinctive latticework inlay design on the blade, which is replicated here in etchings on both sides of the blade. The forged blade of this reproduction has a tempered hardness of 48-52 HRc and is made from C60 (similar to 1060) high carbon steel. \n \nThe hilt components are forged from steel and the grip is wood with a leather stitched binding which is tightly fitted. The scabbard is crafted from wood and bound in matching leather It has binding cord of leather and a wood suspension loop for a belt or baldric.
