Viking sword Torshov, 9th - 10th century, SK-B - Sword for Swordfighting.
This sword is based on an original find from Torshov, southern Norway. The hilt (type H classification) can be dated to the years 800-950 AD and was widely used.
This Swordfighting sword is exclusively handmade. The blade is made of high quality spring steel, which is hardened to about 48 HRC. It is continuous up to the pommel and riveted at the pommel. The pronounced groove of the blade gives the sword great elasticity and at the same time lightness. Both the edge and the tip of the blade are rounded and thus blunt.
The straight guard is made of heat-treated and forgeable cast iron. The handle is wrapped with a sturdy leather strap.
The sword comes with a very nice wooden leather scabbard with wooden bow as belt loop (for max. 5 cm (2 inches) wide belts). The scabbard also has a steel breech plate.
A matching scabbard to the sword is included in the delivery. It is made of wood and covered with leather. It also has a wooden bracket, which allows the sword scabbard to be attached to the belt (suitable for max. 5 cm (2 inches) wide belt).
