| Hanwei Practical Viking sword (SH2047) |
Points: 9
|
Our Practical Viking sword is tailored to the needs of the re-enactor and very affordable. Featuring authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades, these swords are made to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today's re-enactment societies. It features a classically simple hilt, with a permanently-mounted grip and riveted tang for safety. The blade is fullered for balance and features 1/16" edges and a rounded tip. The scabbard is fabricated in a glass-filled resin, to provide great impact resistance, to eliminate swelling and to minimise blade corrosion problems. The wood grain finish is attractive, but is left unfinished for owner customization.

| Godfred Viking sword (SH1010) |
Points: 24
|
Godfred Viking sword named for the feared 8th century Viking raider, our Godfred Sword (SH1010) is built around a beautifully patterned folded steel blade to replicate the pre-9th century originals. The interwoven leather grip, complemented by a Damascus guard and pommel, is matched by the leather-covered wood scabbard with bronze detailing and integral belt hooks. Superbly balanced, due to the deeply fullered distal tapered blade profile, the Godfred is a true tribute to the legendary Norse smiths.

| Hanwei Trondheim Viking (SH2296) |
Points: 40
|
Hanwei continues to push the envelope with its forging capability in the Trondheim sword, produced as a one-piece forging in pattern-welded high-carbon steel. Patterned after swords that have been discovered in the area around Trodheim, Norway, the sword exhibits early ninth-century styling, a time when the Norwegian Vikings were pillaging Britain and Ireland. The beauty of the blade is matched by the grip and scabbard, both of which are wrapped in top-grain leather, engraved in a classic Viking motif.

| Seax knife (401022) |
Points: 11
|
The seax, or sax, was universal in Northern Europe. Carried and used by the Saxons, Angles, Vikings and German tribes, its use probably dated before the fall of Rome and continued on into the early Middle Ages. From small knives with 3-4 inch blades to actual swords with blades of 27-28 inches and always single-edged, the profile of the seax varied a great deal. The original version of this large knife served from camp work to cutting work, on shipboard, and for fighting if a sword or axe was not available. The lobed pommel and guard are brass, and the wood grip is studded with brass tacks, for a very secure and comfortable grip. The blade is etched on both sides, flat ground, and capable of taking and holding a razor sharp edge. Leather sheath riveted and laced like the originals, has two thong slots. The remnants of this Seax can be seen in the British Museum. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.

| 11th C. Viking forged sword |
Points: 15
|
Viking swords, like the Vikings themselves, have reputations for being brutal and utilitarian devices, simplistic hacking weapons with little in the way of grace or beauty. This view has been perpetuated pop culture. For those who study Viking history and culture, though, they know that is simply not the case. Many Viking weapons that have remained for us to examine were not only functional but beautifully decorated. One such example is this sword, based on a find in Finland that dates back to the 11th
Century. Sold Out

Points: 4
|
Design inspired by a 10th C. model
The Three load practice Viking Sword is made of 2 mm thick 1060 High Carbon Steel and Tempered to a Rockwell of 53. We created this piece with the practitioner in mind.

| Hanwei Gjermundbu Helmet (AH2190N) |
Points: 20
|
The Gjermundbu Helm is based on a classic Viking helm found in a Norwegian burial mound. Found in nine fragments, the helm has been re-constructed and is now housed in the Museum of National Antiquities in Oslo. It dates from around 970 A.D. and is considered to be the finest helm found from that era. The "spectacles" (officially "occularia"), provided excellent facial and nasal protection, while chain mail provided flexible protection to the back and sides of the neck. As with the original, our Gjermundbu helm is provided with a leather chin strap. Sold Out

| Hanwei Viking Letter Opener (MH2283) |
Points: 2
|
Viking raiders were famed for their lightning attacks on European coastal settlements. These tactics demanded light, fast weaponry and their sword designs were based on this need. Surviving swords show the Viking swordsmiths to be highly skilled in steel manufacture and forging techniques. Sold Out
