Viking Sword Torshov w. Scabbard, 9-10th c., practical blunt, Class C

This blunt early medieval sword is forged by hands. Guard and pommel are made of heat-treated malleable cast iron. The spring steel blade is oil-tempered up to 48-50° Rockwell, forged to the hilt and peened with the pommel. The wooden gip is wrapped with leather string. The blade has got a distinctive fuller which offers both flexibility and a lesser weight. The edges of this sword are blunt and the tip is rounded for safety.

The sword comes with a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard.
