Viking Warrior Training Sword – Hand-Forged Practice Blade with Leather Scabbard

Description

Channel the warrior spirit of the North with this Viking-style training sword—an authentic recreation of early medieval weaponry built for handling and performance rather than warfare. Forged by hand from carbon steel, the blade captures the proportions and feel of traditional Viking swords, while its unsharpened edge ensures it remains safe for choreographed combat, reenactment, and martial practice.

Unlike decorative replicas, this sword is fully functional in training contexts. The steel tang extends through the handle and is peened at the base, locking it securely into the rounded steel pommel for excellent balance and structural strength. A straight steel crossguard provides hand protection, replicating styles seen in original finds from the 9th to 11th centuries.

The hilt is wrapped in quality leather for a comfortable, confident grip—essential for extended handling during drills or stage use. The balance point lies approximately 4.4 inches from the crossguard, giving the weapon a responsive and grounded feel.

This sword also comes with a custom-fitted scabbard made from a wooden core, wrapped in genuine leather, and capped with polished steel fittings at both throat and chape. Whether worn on a belt, used in performance, or displayed in a collection, it brings functional elegance to any historical kit.

Important Note on Functionality:
The term “functional” here refers specifically to its readiness for stage combat, training, and safe reenactment. It is not sharpened and is not intended for live blade use or test cutting. Always confirm the intended use with your event or training group.
