Overlord Long Leather Belt

This is a folded steel version of one of our best selling swords….The Guardlan. The blade is forged in the traditional Japanese folded steel method, creating a beautiful and original pattern, created by multiple layers of folded steel.The Guardlan Viking Sword is a blend of history and modern design. Taking its inspiration from Norse culture, this battle-ready sword is hand forged and fully functional. A unique two-handed version of a traditional Viking design, the broad blade is significantly longer than our single-handed designs. The extra heft of the sword would be absolutely devastating in battle, capable of broad slashes that could cut down a warrior in his prime – or sweep an attacker from horseback.

Every Viking Chieftain was familiar if not an expert with sword, shield, spear and axe. But these are long and heavy and often bulky weapons that were not always within reach so for 24-hour protection they almost universally carried a large Sax. Suspended from the belt in front or back (where it didn’t interfere with other weapons like their sword or hand axe) it was instantly available if suddenly attacked and was often used in tandem with other weapons.While most Sax blades resemble the profile of our Woodsman’s Sax with a straight edge and sloping point there were popular variations like the broke back Chieftan’s Sax we are introducing here.Forged out of high carbon steel with a hard spring temper and satin polished it boasts a “broke back” blade profile where the line formed by the spine rises then falls abruptly to the point of giving the illusion of a clip point bowie knife while actually predating the bowie by many centuries! Since the Chieftan’s Sax is meant to be a weapon first and a tool a distant second it comes with a modestly sized brass guard that serves to keep the fingers from sliding forward on to the blade while offering a modicum of protection from opposing weapons. But it is the handle of the Chieftan’s Sax that we are especially proud of. Intricately hand carved in deep relief in link pattern that is visually stunning and compliments the matching brass guard and pommel.Each Chieftan’s Sax comes with a period correct brown leather scabbard with brass accents, a leather laced seam and period correct leather carrying straps!

Norman and Saxon men of all stations in life wore tunics like this one. The long sleeves and roomy body are cut from one piece of fabric so there is only one seam in the entire tunic. At the neckline, a slit trimmed with fine gold brocade braid allows you to put the tunic on and take it off easily, and the hem and sleeve ends are trimmed in the same braid. The Norman Tunic is made of sturdy green cotton to help you survive the worst man has to offer. Material 100% cotton Click here for the Clothing & Hats Sizing Charts.

Did you know that the name of the Saxon race was derived from the knife they carried? Its true the Sax knife was so important in their daily lives that an entire people became known by it. So, what was so special about this knife that it endured from the from the 6th to the 12th century? The answer is, it was easy and cheap to make and incredibly versatile and effective. Usually found without a guard, with a simple wood or bone hilt it offered a long wide, thick blade with a straight edge and a sloping point (easy to forge). This made it just about ideal as it chopped, sliced, hacked, whittled and carved and was no slouch in a fight as the weight forward balance of the blade and sloping point made ferocious chopping and thrusting strokes effortless. Over the years we have become quite enamored with the history and work potential of the sax so we decided to make a simple version we call the Woodsman’s Sax. Like some historical saxes that have survived, the Woodsman’s features a stout 11” long blade with the characteristic sloping point and an unadorned wooden handle made from exotic imported hardwood. Each of our broad bladed saxes also come with a sturdy “period correct” leather scabbard, complete with belt straps, and accented with solid brass “period correct” buckles. Details: WEIGHT 21.7 oz.
