- Strong, sharpened 1065 high carbon steel blade with a full tang that has been fully tempered and heat treated properly so that the steel will spring back to shape with bending. This bend test is done to see if the blade can withstand forces from real use.
- Replicated from a sword shown in Ian Pierce's book, Swords of the Viking Age. Meticulously studied, there is a legend that a Nordic smith named Ulfberht developed the first all steel blade which reached near-mythical status among warriors. Many variants exist, this specific replica shows the improvements in design with a more tapered blade close to the point, giving better balance and maneuverability.
- Hand-Forged, Handmade by Expert Blacksmiths at Windlass Steelcrafts - the first and last name in swords. With a history that started in manufacturing weapons for the armed forces of the British Empire since 1943, today Windlass Steelcrafts manufactures for armies around the world including the US Armed Forces.
- Includes authentic real leather matching scabbard. The grip is wood wrapped with leather. The stout crossguard is steel and the pommel is of the Brazil nut shape that was quite popular at the time, both with Vikings and the rest of Europe.
- Great for Viking, Renaissance, Medieval cosplay, display, and cutting - swords are a great accessory to any outfit! Use Caution as this is a Real, Capable, Battle-Ready Weapon Replica based off of a real sword. Use caution and check local laws before taking this to any festival or public spaces.
