Authentic Viking Hand-Forged Iron Knife – Twisted Handle with Leather Scabbard

Description

This Authentic Viking Hand-Forged Iron Knife revives the essence of early medieval utility—simple, sturdy, and purpose-built. Whether at a campfire, feast table, or strapped to the belt of a wandering Norseman, knives like these served as an essential part of everyday life during the Viking Age.

Forged by hand from solid iron, the blade has a naturally weathered finish that reflects old-world craftsmanship. Unlike mass-produced stainless knives, this piece carries visible forging marks and a rugged personality. The twisted loop handle not only enhances grip but was also traditionally used to hang the knife from belts, straps, or hooks—both practical and visually striking.

The included genuine leather scabbard is stitched and reinforced for durability, fitted with a wide belt loop for wearing the knife in historically appropriate fashion. Together, the knife and sheath form a functional yet collectible piece of Viking life, perfect for reenactment kits, themed setups, or rustic decor.
