Transitional Viking-Arming Sword | Hand-Forged Hybrid Norse Blade by Everest Forge

Reflecting the evolution of Viking swords into European arming swords during the 10th and 11th centuries, this functional replica blends Viking tradition with medieval sophistication. Crafted for collectors, reenactors, and martial practitioners, it combines battlefield utility with authentic craftsmanship.

The blade is expertly hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, sourced from reclaimed truck leaf springs. Water-tempered and sharpened, the blade maintains excellent edge retention, flexibility, and cutting power—ideal for both display and real-world use.

Historical details such as the lobed pommel and straight medieval crossguard capture the transitional aesthetic of early medieval Europe. The 7-inch rosewood handle ensures a solid, comfortable grip, and the included leather scabbard features dual belt loops for a historically inspired carrying method.
