Medieval Viking Sword
The Arrival
Viking Sword Case Opened
Although there is no actual history of any one person that is “tied” to this sword, it is generally referred to as the “G” series hand forged Viking Sword. But folks! let me tell you, this is not just your “every day run-of-the-mill averaged style” Viking Sword. This sword has class, this sword has features, this sword has things you aren’t going to see in other Viking swords. Let me show you. Before I do, I want to let you know that if you can afford this sword, It comes with a few good Extras. It is common knowledge that ALL swords come with a scabbard. Unless of course you get one for around 30 dollars. Then it will probably just come in a cardboard box and wrapped up with some heavy tissue paper. This sword will not come to you that way. This sword will come to you with a beautiful dark brown leather that is tightly wrapped around a wooden scabbard.
Viking Sword Case Closed
The wooden display case has a nice dark stain on it and Global Gear embossed onto
the top in gold lettering.
The Handle
Now lets take a look at some of the good features this sword has that a lot of the other Medieval Viking swords don’t. Lets start with the pommel.
Medieval Viking Swords Pommel
This is classic and at the same time it shows effort. Look at the detail and the wire cabling around the Pommel.
If you look close, you can even “see” little traces of the peen marks from the hammer. This has truly been hot peened and shaped. And it certainly appears that they do spend some time on making these quality swords. The leather on the handle even appears to be riveted on. Wow, they think of everything, that should hold together for quite a long time. Now about that guard, at first or second glimpse of it one would think it’s aluminum. But it is not it is steel.

The Blade
The blade length is 31″ and it is a clay forged tempered spring steel blade.
Full length of Sword
Spring steel is a low alloy, medium carbon steel with a very high yield strength. This allows objects made of spring steel to return to their original shape despite significant bending or twisting.
That was a quote from wikipedia, now that we got the technicalities out of the way, let’s dive in and look at this Medieval swords unique blade. As a reminder, this blade is Real and it is extremely Sharp, handle All swords with care. So then, besides having 1075 carbon in it, you can tell that it has been hand forged. This is a very good sign of blade quality. How can you tell you ask? Look at this photo, It has a Hamon! This was the unique feature I was telling you about earlier.
The Viking Swords Hamon
It is my opinion that the only way to get a Hamon to appear on your sword blade is to work it by hand, forge it, heat it, and then cool it down. A Hamon is a visual effect that happens during the hardening process of the blade. By adding clay, this allows the blade to cool faster which in turn makes it stronger and more resilient.
[Update] After watching the video “The traditional way to make a samurai sword on the “buy collectible swords page” of this website. I stand corrected. The video shows that a true Hamon is designed by spreading a narrow strip of clay down the surface of the blade. And then it is baked into the sword. The video will show this procedure in greater detail.
Here is another example of a Hamon

Watch this Privacy Enhanced video by Paul demonstrating the Medieval Viking sword, the scenes near the end may contain graphic video for some, viewer discretion is advised.
The Overview
The weight of the sword is 2 lbs 6 ounces, so it’s light weight and durability makes it very easy to handle.
This Medieval Viking sword has been given high ratings by some of the Best sword dealers around. One of whom is in the video below. This sword is Highly Recommended so give it some consideration if you want it to be part of your collection.

Great points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t write on blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault in the least , but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy reading the content .

for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

sports lines betting,
I think that unless the sword was named after a famous viking, this sword just represents the style that the vikings used.

Interesting, I wonder what the statistics are on your first point there…

Hey can I use some of the insight here in this entry if I provide a link back to your site?

Twilight Eclipse, looks like you’ll need a rather large silver sword to fight those vampire wolves….by the way, I did watch that movie trailer and the scene were they are coming up from the lake and walking to shore, where was that lake at? , it looks familiar.

lol some of the commentary people enter are a little out there, frequently i think about whether they honestly read the subject material and threads before placing a comment or if perhaps they mearly read over the subject of the post and pen the initial thought that one thinks of. in any case, it is enjoyable to browse through clever commentary every now and then rather than the identical, classic blog vomit which i ordinarily notice on the internet
