Viking Sword with 3-Lobed Pommel, Practical Blunt, Class C, 83/93cm Lengths

Viking Sword with 3-Lobed Pommel, Practical Blunt, Class C, 83/93cm Lengths

The objective was to offer a sturdy yet light, well-balanced battle-ready sword for the smaller budget. Here, Volker contributed his many years of experience as a fencing teacher, coach and travelling merchant on medieval markets. The Ulfberth® team and its swordsmiths implemented these specifications, and the result is a battle-ready Viking sword with a great value for money.

It features a blade forged out of spring steel, which was oil-hardened and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-52 HRC. The very wide fuller makes it both flexible and lightweight. The sword comes with approx. 2 - 2.5mm thick edges and a rounded, relatively broad tip, which makes it eligible for stage combat.

This sword is available with two different blade lengths (please select the model you need from the drop-down menu: short = 64cm / long = 74cm). The short version is particularly ideal as a beginner's sword for fencers who are not too strong yet.

Matching leather scabbards with sword belt (product no. ULF-SW-11SA or ULF-SW-11SB) are available separately.

The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
