The Viking Damascus Steel Sword is an exquisite blend of historical craftsmanship and modern forging techniques. Originating from the sword family known as the spatha, Viking swords are often longer and were historically reserved for the wealthy due to their cost. Most Viking warriors carried axes, making swords a symbol of status and power. This sword features a Damascus steel blade, meticulously hand-forged by folding 1095 and 15N20 steel approximately 400-520 times. The result is a blade with a mesmerizing pattern and exceptional strength. Complementing the blade is a contoured wooden handle adorned with a pure brass insert, guard, and pommel. The downward-turned cross guard is intricately designed with a snake-like creature surrounded by Viking knot work, a motif echoed on the large pommel alongside the Valknut symbol. This stunning sword comes with a beautifully tooled leather sheath for carrying across your back, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The Viking Damascus Steel Sword is perfect for historical enthusiasts, collectors, and those participating in reenactments. Its impressive craftsmanship and authentic design make it a striking display piece, while its durable construction ensures it can be used for ceremonial purposes and light practice.
