Silvered Hilt Viking Sword Damascus | Viking Swords

This lovely Vendel Period sword with silvered hilt, is based on a wonderfully constructed discovery unearthed from a ship burial site in Uppsala, Sweden. This single-handed sword is a perfect example of a Norse weapon in terms of shape. Damascus steel is used to manufacture the double-edged blade with broad fuller. The blade's whole tang is fastened to the pommel and the edges are not honed.

The approx. 9 cm long, 1.5 cm thick guard and the generously sized pommel are made in brass and faithfully reproduce the original artefact's highly intricate etched motifs and patterns. Contrasting tin-plated brass bands complement the tarnished brass finish. The pommel is made up of numerous components that are welded together, just like many authentic specimens from this time period. The pommel cap has red enamel inlay that looks like genuine garnets. Brown leather covers the wooden core grip.

This Vendel one-handed sword comes complete with a brown wood-and-leather scabbard with wooden suspension loop (max. belt width 5 cm) and antiqued brass throat and chape.
