The celebrated Cawood Sword, named after its discovery location near Cawood Castle in England, is regarded as one of the finest and best-preserved examples of an 11th century Viking sword in existence. Preserved in the mud of the bed of the River Ouse for almost a millenium, the sword has now found a permanent home in the Yorkshire Museum, where it is a leading attraction. What is almost certainly a "sister" sword was unearthed in Norway in 1888, giving a valuable clue to the Cawood Sword's origin.

Hanwei's version of the sword replicates the lobated pommel and steeply downcurved quillons of the hilt perfectly, while the wide-fullered blade is reproduced in 5160 high-carbon steel. The weight and balance provide for a very usable sword. No details of the original scabbard are known, but the styling of Hanwei's leather-covered version is typical of the period.

DETAILS: Made by Hanwei; Overall: 36"; Blade Length: 30"; Handle Length: 4"; Weight: 2 lb 7 oz; Blade Steel: 5160; Specs will vary slightly from piece to piece. FEATURES: 5160 High-Carbon Steel; Period Scabbard included; Based on Yorkshire Museum Piece.
