This hand-forged Viking sword is made using the same methods that were used 1000 years ago. It is a hand-forged copy of a Viking sword of type S* from the 9th century, found in northern Norway. The sword is entirely handmade in high-quality carbon steel, hardened with oil and tempered in the traditional way over a coal forge. The blade is also marked with the Nordlys™ "smith's mark" so that you can be sure you have a genuine sword from our own forge.
The hilt has a handle wrapped in leather and features a period-typical three-part pommel and slim crossguard.
The scabbard is made according to the finds with a wooden core bound in black leather and with a bronze chape in Viking Age design. The scabbard has a wooden belt bridge and is decorated with both inlays under the leather and brown braided leather straps.
The Viking warrior typically had two belts for the sword, one over the opposite shoulder and one around the waist. The two belts relieved and distributed the weight of the sword and ran through a loop on the scabbard called a belt bridge.
