Early Viking Sword GODFRED | 8th-century Re-Creation

Description

Early Viking Sword GODFRED | 8th-century Re-Creation
Practical / Blunt • Ready for Re-enactment • Incl. Leather-Clad Wood Scabbard

Inspired by the weapon reputedly carried by the Danish king Godfred (Gudfred), who ruled from the great Viking emporium of Hedeby / Haithabu until his death in 810, this fully hand-forged sword captures the iconic form of early Viking arms: short forward-arched guard, wide fuller, and the classic three-lobed pommel.

Key Features

• Battle-Ready Blunt (SK-B)* – edges 2–3 mm & safety tip for stage and training.
• Forged EN45 Spring-Steel Blade – oil-tempered to 48-50 HRC for resilience.
• Distinct Fuller – saves weight while retaining strength & flex.
• Heat-Treated Malleable Iron guard & three-lobed pommel (hand-riveted tang).
• Leather-wrapped Grip for secure handling, even with gloves.
• Wood Scabbard with stitched leather cover & twin adjustable suspension straps.

*SK-B = “practical blunt” per Battle-Merchant classification (edge blunt, tip rounded; suitable for moderated contact sparring).
