Certain Viking swords that have become famous were splendidly decorated or have some other special feature. Those weapons belonged to high ranking warriors or kings, but what about the simple fighters, the mass of Vikings whose reputation struck fear into the hearts of Europe? Our sword is designed for the hordes, the common warriors. It is a well-balanced weapon without a lot of extra features, simple and effective, just like it should be. The wooden grip is wrapped in black leather. The slightly curved pommel combined with the 5-lobed crossguard of high-quality steel makes this sword a classic type VI in Wheeler's Viking sword typology. Comes complete with a leather scabbard.

The dirks used during the Scottish Renaissance are advanced developments of the kidney dagger and emerged in the form shown toward the end of the 16th century. The blade is long and single-edged, and it even has a false edge close to the point. Three decorative fullers are offset toward the back edge, not centred. The riveted, hardwood grip is carved with a lozenge pattern that fits any hand well. Our Scottish Renaissance dirk comes with a scabbard including a mount and chape made of metal. The scabbard is also designed to be used with a holder.

Excavations of a number of circa 850-900 Viking swords turned up this lovely Damascus specimen in Finland. It has the lobed pommel loved by the Norsemen, but the cross guard contrasts slightly with the typical downcurved versions. The early style blade is well-suited to the quick, slashing blows of the Viking warrior. It is forged from high carbon Damascus steel. It is polished with the fuller etched to show the Damascus construction of the blade. The pommel and cross guard are steel and the grip is leather wrapped wood. The scabbard is wood covered in leather with steel mounts. This is a true fighting sword and one that any Viking would be proud to carry in battle.

This short sword belongs to the group of swords that Oakeshott classified as XIV type. Widespread in the Late Middle Ages, they were primarily designed to be used against opponents wearing armor. The blade is characteristically wide at the base and ends in an acute point. In conjunction with the dramatic, wheel-shaped pommel, the fuller ensures outstanding balance and a surprisingly low weight. The grip of our XIV medieval short sword is made of wood wrapped with leather. Its wheel pommel is riveted and has a cavity at the center with space for an insignia or jewel. This XIV medieval short sword comes with a scabbard.

We call this elegant edged weapon a "German Longsword," but this type of blade was widely used in Europe during the Late Middle Ages. Its slender shape, acute point and lack of fuller predetermine this sword for use as a thrusting weapon against knightly plate armor. Wielding this blade with two hands greatly increased the probability of scoring a hit in the enemy's weak spot. Our German long sword features a hilt with a striking design: the meander incised in the crossguard is repeated in the pear-shaped pommel. The wooden grip is wrapped in smooth, brown leather for increased control and comfort.

Our German Longsword comes with a brown leather scabbard including a mount and chape.
