Windlass Ashdown Viking Sword

This is the Ashdown Viking Sword, a functional replica of the major sword type used during the Dark Ages of Europe. It carries historically accurate sword traits used in the legendary battles between Alfred the Great and King Ethelred against the invading Danish army of the late 9th century CE.

The sword has been forged using modern high carbon steel with an accurate broad fuller lowering its weight and aiding in its aesthetics. The crossguard and pommel are made of steel and lavishly decorated with raised knotwork and Norse motifs in accurate 9th-century design. Its one-handed handle is covered with soft leather for comfort allowing for a very firm grip.

This Viking blade comes with its own leather scabbard protected by a decorative metal shoe at its tip including a belt for ease of carriage. The sword can be enriched with up to 3 initials.
