Viking Era Battle Sword – Hand-Forged Steel with Scabbard, 37” Full-Tang Training Blade

Description

Channel the might of the Norse with this Viking Era Battle Sword, a traditionally hand-forged weapon echoing the tools of warriors who once sailed across Europe’s coasts. Based on archaeological finds from the 9th–11th centuries, this sword offers the visual power of a true Viking weapon without the danger of a sharpened edge.

Crafted from durable high-carbon steel, the blade is left blunt, making it suitable for choreographed fighting, practice drills, and educational environments. The balance point—placed approximately 15 cm from the guard—offers natural movement and wielding control, especially when paired with the leather-wrapped wooden grip and sturdy full-tang core.

A straight crossguard and round pommel complete the authentic silhouette seen in numerous museum examples. The included wooden scabbard, wrapped in leather and capped with a polished steel chape, enhances its appearance and keeps the blade protected in storage or transit.

Whether used in demonstrations, historical scenes, or simply mounted on a wall, this sword is a functional yet safe homage to the Viking warrior’s iconic blade.
