Deepeeka Swords

Based on an original in the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo, our Peterson Type D Viking Sword is typical of those wielded by Viking warriors of the 9^th and 10^th centuries. The ornately crafted hilt signifying that its owner was of high status. The hilt fittings have been cast in bronze and mounted using the traditional method of construction; riveting a cap over the pommel base. The hardwood grip is tightly bound in leather.

It features a forged and tempered high carbon steel blade that is designed for hacking and slashing, such was the fighting style of the era. The leather bound wooden scabbard is decorated with bronze “knotwork” fittings of Norse origin and features a suspension loop allowing it to be fastened to a belt of baldric.

The hilt of the Isle of Eigg Sword is the finest example of a Viking sword hilt ever found in Scotland and currently resides on the National Museums of Scotland collection.
