Viking Swords

The Vikings get a bad rap as a bunch of blood-crazed, howling barbarians who sacked and destroyed huge swaths of medieval Europe. This is patently untrue; they weren't barbarians at all.

Though chief among their implements of destruction was the simple spear, the Vikings bore a great reverence for the sword. Their smiths and sword makers wrought beautiful and efficient weapons of pattern-welded and later solid high-carbon steel. Our collection of Viking swords aims to replicate the weapons of those fearless warriors!

River Witham Sword This beautiful Viking sword, similar to our Leuterit Sword, was replicated from a tenth-century original dredged from the River Witham in eastern England. Hank Reinhardt, one of the leading authorities in sword research, designed this weapon exclusively for Generation 2 before his passing in 2007.	Godfred Sword A stunning Viking sword built on a beautiful, pattern-welded folded-steel blade. A fitting tribute to the legendary Norse smiths!
10th-Century Viking Sword Generation 2's take on the Viking sword gives us this simple, sturdy sword blade.	Damascus Viking Sword A Viking-style sword with a unique hilt design and a blade of hand-forged pattern-welded (or "Damascus") steel.
Silver-Hilted Viking Sword This interesting take on the Viking Sword has a hilt formed of nickel silver attached to a hand-forged high-carbon steel blade.	Sticklestad Viking Sword An amazing high-carbon steel Viking sword named in honor of the battle at Stiklestad, where fell King Olaf II of Norway (later canonized as St. Olaf).
Leuterit Sword This Viking sword has distinctive copper diamond accents on its hilt. A striking piece!
