Viking Sword – Damascus Steel Carolingian Norse Hilt – 32"
type: Product
description: This 32-inch Viking sword follows the classic Carolingian pattern carried across the Norse world from roughly the 9th through 11th centuries: a broad, straight, double-edged Damascus steel blade with a wide central fuller, a compact one-handed grip, and the short, understated guard that marks a true Viking sword — this design predates the long cruciform crossguards of the later Middle Ages. Where it departs from the ordinary is the hilt. Instead of the usual wood or leather grip, the entire handle is sculpted metal, engraved end to end with Norse spiral scrollwork and finished with brass accent rings at the guard and pommel. The heavy lobed pommel — the Viking sword's signature — anchors the design and balances the blade in hand. The blade ships sharpened, and a fitted leather sheath is included. A Pattern-Welded Blade, Just Like the Originals On most swords, Damascus steel is a modern flourish. On a Viking sword, it's a homecoming. The finest Norse blades — including the legendary Ulfberht swords — were pattern-welded: rods of steel twisted and forge-welded together, producing serpentine patterns in the blade that Viking poets celebrated in verse. Owning a patterned blade was a mark of wealth and status in the Viking Age. This blade honors that tradition with modern Damascus steel: alternating layers of high-carbon steel forge-welded, folded, and acid-etched to reveal a flowing pattern that runs through the full thickness of the blade. No two are alike — like the pattern-welded originals, yours is one of one. Beneath the pattern is working high-carbon steel, fully heat-treated and sharpened along both edges. The wide fuller lightens the blade without weakening it — the same trick Norse smiths used to make swords fast in the hand. The Engraved Metal Hilt Most Viking sword reproductions stop at a plain wooden grip. This one commits to the ornament: the guard, grip, and pommel are a continuous sculpted metal hilt, engraved with interlocking Norse spirals and chevron b…
