Viking swords were expensive to make. They were typically double edged, but single-edged swords were also used. The blades were pattern-welded, a method of sword making where iron and steel were forge-welded together. Together with weapons such as the battle-axe and the spear, the sword was one of the most useful offensive tools for a Viking warrior. Viking swords were typically meant for single-handed use, with the other hand holding a shield. They were more than mere weapons of combat; a sword often indicated wealth and status. Also, these blades were heirlooms and given names and survived generations.

Museum Replicas is proud of the variety of swords it offers. We carry a stunning range of Viking swords that would suit both the standard warrior and Viking royalty. We also understand that no Viking sword collection is complete without the Ulfberht, a weapon so ahead of its time it was considered mystical in some quarters. Our amazing replica does this sword justice. Also, check out the Tinker Viking sword design inspired by historical examples from the early 9th Century and Eric the Red Sword that is inspired by the legendary Norwegian Viking. Of course, we have much more in this collection – blades forged with expert hands and with detail exquisite enough to turn the head of even the most battle-hardened Norse warrior. Although an authentic Viking sword is hard to come by, we will give you a premium-quality weapon replica derived from those wielded by the most terrifying seafarers in history.

Review of: Cawood Viking Sword by Paul Chen / Hanwei

I like the sword. Cut-centric, but with a decent thrusting point. It does tend to drag the arm down a bit with the point of balance five and a half inches from the hilt, but swings fine in flow drills. And it is beautiful.

Review of: Windlass Steelcrafts Langeid Viking Sword

This is a really nice sword. I didn’t expect it to be very sharp but it is. Also handles really well. This website lists it as 3 lbs 2 oz but mine weighs 2.75 lbs. The wire rapped handle actually helps with the grip. The guard and pommel has silver like plating with textured details painted. Overall Windlass has really improved greatly compared to its sword looking crowbar past. Also the scabbard is pretty good and has very nice designs and appears to be real leather. For this price I think it’s worth it.

Review of: Cawood Viking Sword by Paul Chen / Hanwei

This surprised me … the workmanship is great; the lines are even & where they’re supposed to be; and I like it !

The balance is superb; it cuts well  though it’s not blade heavy … & the point tracks your gaze

It behaves like a similarly sized Type XV or XVIII

One of the best swords I’ve acquired in 35 yrs of collecting

Review of: Cawood Viking Sword by Paul Chen / Hanwei

A beautiful recreation of the original that feels good to wield and looks great on my side. I've worn it as the centerpiece for a couple Viking/Saxon outfits and it definitely draws the eye, in and out of the scabbard. My only small gripe would be that the scabbard is only glued, not stitched, in the back.

Review of: Ashdown Viking Sword

Receive this sword as a gift. I specifically requested it and it came in and was better than I could possibly imagine.   Craftsmanship is beautiful and is definitely true to the 9th century.

Review of: Cawood Viking Sword by Paul Chen / Hanwei

This is an amazing replica! The sword is an absolute joy to look at, swing, cut and just plain enjoy. It came with a good edge right out of the box, but a few minutes with a whetstone put a great edge on it.
As soon as I picked the sword up, I knew that I was holding a fine sword. I could imagine what a 13th Century warrior felt as he (or she... Shield Maidens are historic fact) drew this weapon before battle. A certainty that THIS sword will serve well in the coming battle!
The balance is superb. Enough blade presence to let you make dynamic cuts yet feels light in hand and very responsive. The sword seems to almost lead you into the strike and follows every intention. The down-turned quillions give a distinct feel of defensive ability and the acute point makes this sword very capable of both cutting and thrusting making it a superb weapon in the melee. Easily one of the best swords available at any price!

Review of: Ashdown Viking Sword

The sword is beautiful I can find no flaws whatsoever, straight and true. I wanted a real, true to period practical fighting sword that looks and feels like it could be swung in a hard fought protracted battle. This is it. The grip is big and comfortable, the sword seems well balanced and truly formidable. The scabboard is solid, well appointed and adds to the overall appeal of the sword. My only complaint is that I paid to have it engraved with my initials and it didn’t get done.

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!
