This sword is as classic a viking sword as there is. A lofty, carved brass "saddle" pommel sets the tone for this wonderful Norse weapon. The pommel is etched with the traditional lines, dividing the "saddle" into sectors or lobes. Just below the pommel is an attractive ridged grip of leather over wood. Three strong ridges create a perfect gripping surface without cluttering the clean lines of the weapon. A strong, understated guard finishes the hilt and reinforces the slim look of lethal efficiency that makes this sword so attractive.

The blade, a masterful high-carbon steel, is straight, with little taper to it until the tip, as a viking sword should be. A thick fuller runs over three quarters of the blade giving it additional strength and balance.

In all, this is a perfect reproduction of a classic viking weapon from the 10th or 11th century. It would have been the right weapon for fast raiding parties who needed moderately sized weapons that were quick to draw, fast to swing and light enough to run with. The carved ridges on the pommel would have added a bit of class to swords that normally had little decoration.

When Strongblade refers to a "Battle Sword," we are referring to most European medieval swords with blades longer than 35” or so. These type of swords included hand-and-a-half swords (sometimes refered to as Bastard Swords) and the big two-handed swords. Real battle swords had blades well in excess of this, and, in fact, a 35" sword was considered a bit skimpy for fighting skirmishes. But for home use and light sparring, a 36" blade is fairly long.
