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

Re-enactment Practice Sword (1346) |
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. The thick blade gives greater resistance to the blade for theatrical type combat which requires exciting blade to blade contact for shows, theatrical plays and movie productions. Sold Out

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
