12th Century Sword
(Original: c. 1100 - 1250 Northern Europe, Museum and Art
Gallery, Glasgow.)
The pommel, a faceted wheel, is a shape encountered in the Leppaho Viking
swords, a group of swords excavated from Viking graves dating from 980-1000.
The crossguard is of an early form, which the Vikings referred to as Gaddhjalt
[spike hilt]. The blade is designed for the cutting style of fighting used
during this period and has a fuller running 2/3 the length of the blade. Our
version features:
A hardwood handle, wrapped in leather. The cross guard and pommel are solid
steel, polished and fitted on to a full tang that is peened at the top of
the pommel for strength and durability.
The scabbard is made from wood then wrapped in leather with a solid steel
end cap.
Blade length: 34.5"
Handle/Hilt length: 8.5"
Overall: 43"
Balance Point: 5.5" Below Hilt
Weight: Under 3.5 lbs.
