Late Viking Era Sword 10th - 11th Centuries - Deepeeka

By the high middle ages, Viking Swords had begun to lose some of their more characteristic features; namely the wide, low-tapering blade and the lobed pommel. Viking swords began to look more like the characteristic swords of the larger continent. This is evident in this sword, which has replaced the lobe pommel with the brazil-nut shape and the short, thick crossguard of earlier weapons has thinned and extended into a characteristic medieval cruciform. This blade however, retains its thick profile, wide fuller and low-taper characteristic of its older ancestral swords. This late-era Viking sword is made with a blade of high carbon steel. The hilt fittings are of steel and the grip is tightly wrapped with a strip of spiralled leather. It comes with a wood-core scabbard covered in dark brown leather and affixed with a wooden suspension loop. The protective tip chape of the scabbard is of steel.

• AUTHENTIC VIKING DESIGN: This sword features a classic Viking-style blade with a broad, slightly tapering form and a pronounced, sharpened edge, true to the 10th–11th century period. Perfect for reenactments or historical collections.
• HIGH-QUALITY BLADE: Made from durable carbon steel, the Greek Xiphos blade offers both cutting power and historical authenticity. Its double-edged blade is designed for slicing and thrusting, providing an edge in combat as well as for display.
• ERGONOMIC HANDLE FOR CONTROL: The hilt of the Xiphos is crafted for comfort and control, with a simple yet functional design. The grip allows for quick handling and maneuverability, perfect for reenactments, stage combat, or tactical training.
• IDEAL FOR COLLECTORS & REENACTORS: This Greek Xiphos is a great addition to any historical sword collection or for reenactors looking to add a genuine piece of ancient Greek weaponry to their arsenal. It faithfully replicates the design used by hoplites during the Classical period.
• VERSATILE & PRACTICAL SWORD: While the Xiphos was designed for warriors, its lightweight and versatile nature makes it perfect for modern practitioners of historical martial arts. Whether for cutting drills, display, or reenactments, the Xiphos is as functional as it is historically significant.
