Hand Forged Carbon Steel Viking Sword – Battle Ready Medieval Sword with Scabbard
Step into the Viking Age
This is more than just a sword.
It’s a piece of history, reborn in the hands of modern craftsmanship.
Our Hand Forged Carbon Steel Viking Sword is inspired by the blades wielded by Norse warriors during the 8th to 11th centuries. Vikings were not just raiders — they were explorers, traders, and fearless fighters. Their swords were their pride, their honor, and often, their most treasured possession.
With this battle-ready medieval sword, you can hold that same power, feel the same balance, and experience the same warrior spirit — whether you’re training, reenacting, or displaying it in your collection.
The Heart of the Sword – Hand Forging
Unlike factory-made replicas, this sword is hand forged by skilled blacksmiths.
Every hammer strike shapes the blade with precision.
Every heat and quench locks in strength.
The result?
A blade that is unique, strong, and built to last.
Hand forging gives the sword a soul — a subtle texture on the steel, a small variation in shape — signs of true craftsmanship. It’s the difference between a lifeless display piece and a blade that feels alive in your hand.
Carbon Steel – The Warrior’s Choice
The blade is made from high carbon steel, the same type of metal that ancient smiths relied on for real combat weapons.
Why carbon steel?
-
Strength & Sharpness – High carbon content allows the edge to be sharpened razor-fine and stay sharp longer.
-
Durability – Perfect for heavy cuts and repeated training.
-
Historical Accuracy – Vikings didn’t have stainless steel; carbon steel is the authentic choice.
⚠ Note: Carbon steel requires care — a light coat of oil after use keeps rust away.
Battle Ready – Built for Action
Many swords look good on a wall, but can’t survive a real fight. This one can.
Battle ready means:
-
Full Tang Construction – The blade runs through the entire handle for maximum strength.
-
Heat Treated Blade – Tough enough to withstand impact without bending or breaking.
-
Sharpened Edge – Ready for cutting practice or combat demonstrations.
It’s not a toy. This is a real weapon, crafted to perform.
The Shape of a Viking Sword
This design follows the classic Viking Age Type X sword style:
-
Broad Double-Edged Blade – Excellent for slashing and cutting.
-
Short Crossguard – Protects your hand without getting in the way.
-
Lobed Pommel – Balances the weight and allows for fast recovery after each strike.
The balance is near perfect, making it agile in hand and comfortable for long sessions of training or reenactment.
The Scabbard – Protection with Style
Your sword comes with a handcrafted scabbard.
Made with wood covered in leather, it protects your blade from damage and makes it easy to carry.
In Viking tradition, a scabbard wasn’t just a case — it was part of the warrior’s appearance. Ours includes a belt suspension system so you can wear it as the Norse warriors did.

A Glimpse into Viking Sword History
The Viking sword wasn’t just a weapon. It was a symbol of status and honor.
Owning a sword meant you were a person of wealth and power — most Viking warriors fought with axes or spears, as swords were expensive to make.
Many swords were given names, passed down through generations, and even buried with their owners.
When you hold this sword, you’re holding a design shaped by centuries of Norse tradition.
Care & Maintenance
Owning a carbon steel sword comes with responsibility.
Here’s how to keep it in perfect shape:
-
Oil the Blade – Use light mineral oil after each use to prevent rust.
-
Avoid Moisture – Store in a dry place; never leave it in a damp scabbard for long periods.
-
Sharpen When Needed – A whetstone or professional sharpening will keep the edge ready.
-
Use Responsibly – This is a real weapon; handle it with care.
Package Includes
-
1 × Hand Forged Carbon Steel Viking Sword (Battle Ready)
-
1 × Leather-Wrapped Wooden Scabbard
-
Belt suspension (attached to scabbard)
Why Choose a Hand Forged Sword Over a Factory Replica?
Factory-made swords are mass-produced, often with welded tangs and soft steel — fine for decoration, but not for action.
A hand-forged sword:
-
Feels alive in the hand.
-
Has superior strength and balance.
-
Carries the uniqueness of a craftsman’s touch.
When you choose hand forging, you choose quality, history, and authenticity.
Perfect for Your Viking Persona
If you’re into LARP (Live Action Role-Play), SCA events, or Viking festivals, this sword completes your look. Pair it with a chainmail shirt, leather boots, and a round shield, and you’re ready to step into the world of the Norsemen.
Safety Reminder
Even though this is a historical weapon, it’s still sharp and dangerous. Always:
-
Keep out of reach of children.
-
Wear gloves or safety gear when training.
-
Follow local laws regarding sword ownership.
