Review of: Viking Ulfberht
I picked one of these up recently as the deal of the day at a very reasonable price. I was looking for something close to a 11th century Norman sword due to having ancestors that moved to England from France in 1066.
The lettering although true to a type 2 Vulfbehrt seems a bit cheap, like paint in etching, but true in spelling to high carbon steel swords of the time.
The scabbard holds the blade well but every time i use it the blade is drawn having what looks like sawdust on it.
Typical Windlass issues, but for around $200 you really can't expect a top name brand that uses C and C methods and it is something I would use with no hesitation.

I just got this sword and I have to say, I was really surprised how great this sword felt in my hand. The grip was big enough for even my "ham hock" size hand! LOL i ordered it sharpened and I think I can shave with this thing, too. Great quality and awesome piece for the price! Thanks!

Review of: Sword of the Viking King
I own 141 swords in my collection the Vikings King Sword still my favourite. I bought it mostly because of the nice attractive scabbard but actually love the look of this sword. Maybe the small leather grip is not the best but overall I love it.

Review of: Viking Ulfberht
I have quite a few swords, Albion, Del Tin, Valiant Armory, DSA and more but this is my go to sword for cutting and overall feel. It feels perfectly balanced in my hand and is very comfortable, the pommel never causing issues with my hand or wrist. I have beat this thing and it has never loosened and the edge has never chipped or rolled. It has a good temper and flexes but does not take a set. Other reviewers have said this isn't historically accurate but it is. I have found a picture of an archaeological example that is almost identical, the spelling, shape and overall structure. For the money this is one of the best sword values around. Yes, you could nit pick the details as you can with any Windlass, but functionally it is perfect.

Review of: Maldon Viking Sword
Gorgeous!! Perfect reproduction and probably the closest we can get to what the Northmen actually carried into battle. I have been holding off on purchasing my first "real" sword and I was not disappointed in the least...in fact, I'm thrilled with it. The price point is very generous considering the quality. I did not notice any imperfections as some others have mentioned. Also, it included a frog for the scabbard that is equally awesome. It's a shame that there were no pictures of it in the product description, but that just made it an added bonus for me!! I couldn't be happier with this weapon and could not possibly offer any higher recommendation for someone who wants a real, functional, weapon and not just a pretty wall-hanger. Also, hats-off to Museum Replicas for the incredibly fast order processing & shipping. I look forward to doing business with them again and can't wait to get the matching scramaseax.

Review of: Maldon Viking Sword
This was the best built sword I have yet purchased from Museum Replicas. It was exactly as presented. I was even impressed with the shipping packaging. I will be ordering more swords in the future.

Review of: Maldon Viking Sword
this is my first foray into swords, with my previous long blade experience being machetes, but I can tell a balanced blade from one imbalanced. I am actually impressed with the quality of this product. I love the darkened finish. I find artistic merit to this particular blackened finish. I obviously wasn't simply painted or sprayed on. I have yet to see how this sword handles the tree in my back yard. as far as durability, I'll pit it against my Ontario bushcraft machete and see how the edge holds up against various foliage in the yard. it will be a duel between the graceful blade vs the utilitarian blade!
