River Scheldt Viking Sword

Discontinued
The Vikings had two kinds of duels, the Holmganga and Einvigi. The exact details haven't survived, but we do know that "Holmganga" meant "going out to the island". We don't suppose both parties came back. Serious stuff, that sort of duel, and that's one of the reasons the Vikings took their swordmaking so seriously.

This lightweight sword, with its impressive cutting power, would have been the ideal weapon for a Holmganga. It was found in the River Scheldt which runs from France, through Belgium and the Netherlands, emptying into the North Sea. It probably dates from around 750 A.D. It's a beautiful example of a sword maker's magic, eschewing decoration in favor of a form that clearly demonstrates function.

Carefully hand-forged blade of high carbon steel. Wooden grip with leather wrapping, brass pommel and guard. If you're interested in the Viking period, this could be the highlight of your collection. Comes complete with a scabbard. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

Overall length: 36"; Blade length: 30.25"; Blade width: 1.75"; Weight: 2 lbs. 3 oz;

This sword can be seen in the 2nd publication of "Archaeology Of Weapons" plate 26.
