Product information "Viking Sword from the River Witham"

Viking Sword - Tenth Century A.D. - The original sword was dredged up from the river Witham.
"This sword is one that I have wanted to copy for years. There have been several attempts, but none have completely satisfactory. Adequate, yes, but not truly satisfying. At least until this one. Several years ago I had the chance to visit Sweden and Gotland to look at Viking artifacts as well as the remains from the Battle of Visby. One thing that I noticed, but have not encountered in any works on the Viking sword, is that the Swedish swords all seem to be a bit large than those I saw in Norway and Denmark. Of course it could have been just luck that the ones I saw in Sweden were larger, I have no way of knowing. But this sword could easily qualify as a Swedish sword. The blade is 77.8 cm, and is slightly over 6cm wide, and the balance point is about 16 cm. from the grip. This is a true warrior´s sword, the weight is about 3 pounds, but the balance is superb. The cutting power of the sword is quite impressive and I can easily see it being wielded by Skarp-Hedin or Egil Skallagrimson. Hand forged, high carbon steel."

Hank Reinhardt

Habe es 2012 hier gekauft und es ist mein Lieblingsschwert. Die Klinge ist sehr breit, nicht zu dick, trotzdem etwas schwer, die Kupferrauten laufen schnell braun an und der Wildledergriff reibt sich ab. Dennoch toll, ein määchtiges spätes Wikingerschwert.

Also, ich denke es ist ein sehr gelungenes Schwert. Scharf, gerade Klinge aber etwas schwer.Der Knauf sitzt leicht schief. Das Finish ist nicht so besonders. Aber in der Preisklasse darf man auch selber etwas polieren. Gesagt, getan. Beim ausschleifen der berabeitungs Spuren und dem anschliessendem Polieren hat sich herausgestellt das die " Diamanten" keine sind. Vermutlich ein übersetzungs Fehler. Es sind Einlagen aus "Rotkupfer in Form eines Rautendiamant" Mir persönlich gefällts. Werden bestimmt mal schön grün. Der Wildleder Griff ist Top. Alles in Allem. Für den Preis ein sehr gutes Schwert.

Bin von diesem Schwert, da es mein erstes ist ohnehin begeistert. Würde mal behaupten daß es gut in der Hand liegt und für den Preis eine sehr gute Qualität besitzt. Allerdings sind z.B. die beschriebenen sogenannten eingearbeiteten "Diamanten"eher schlecht verarbeitet. Dadurch sehen sie eher wie Kupferflecken aus. Mich hat es aber nur im ersten Moment gestört. Leider fehlte der Lieferung auch die Skizze von Hank Reinhardt. Wer darauf wert legt sollte vielleicht bei der Bestellung darauf hinweisen. Also unterm Strich trotzdem ein geiles Teil! Punktabzug nur wegen dieser komischen Diamanten.

Maintz Pattern Gladius

The Roman Army´s approach to warfare was direct and pragmatic. It chose the Gladius as its principal sidearm because it was practical and efficient and excelled in any close combat situation. The early Gladius (our version is the Maintz pattern) was wasp waisted with a long point that combined cutting power and stabbing ability in one handy weapon. Later versions (we offer you the Pompeii) were not waisted and had a shorter point but were just as effective - and easier to make. Both swords served side-by-side for many years and it was not uncommon to find 4th century legionnaires carrying the earlier model. This is the sword that conquered most of the known world. Its blade is made of high carbon steel. The Maintz Pattern Gladius also features a faux ivory grip and ornate brass applications on the scabbard. Details: Total length: 28" Blade size: 19 1/2" long, 2 1/4" wide Weight: 2 lbs. 6 oz.
