Hanwei Historically Accurate Practical Viking Sword – Reenactor Friendly

Paul Chen's Practical broadswords are expertly crafted to meet the specific requirements of re-enactment and stage combat. Drawing inspiration from authentic sword designs, these popular and affordable weapons boast genuine hilt styling. The blades are fully tempered, un-edged, and un-pointed, ensuring safety during use. 

Constructed from hardened 1065 high-carbon steel, with a 50HRC hardness, these blades strike a balance between edge-notching resistance and flexibility. The fullered blades offer excellent balance and handling, featuring 1/16" wide edges and rounded tips for added safety.

The substantial tangs have radiused corners and no welds, securely riveted over the pommel to prevent accidental disassembly. The leather-covered hardwood grips provide a firm hold. The scabbards, made of corrosion-resistant glass-filled resin, feature adjustable belt rings for versatile carry options. While the wood-grain finish is appealing, re-enactors often personalize the scabbard to suit their persona. 

The Practical Viking sword, based on the Godfred sword, showcases characteristic Viking elements such as the lobate pommel, down-turned guard, and broad blade with full-length fullers. Well-balanced and weighing just over 2 lbs., it delivers impressive speed and agility.
