Re-enactment

Our Practical Viking Swords are all based on authentically styled swords in our collection but they are tailored to meet the needs of re-enactment and stage combat. These very popular and affordable weapons feature authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades. They are designed to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today’s re-enactment societies.

The lobate pommel and down-turned guard are typical of Viking swords of the period, as is the broad blade with its deep, full-length fullers. The sword is well-balanced and, with a weight slightly over 2 lbs, it is very quick.

Our painted Viking shield features Huginn and Muninn, Odin’s two ravens. Huginn is the old Norse word for “thought” and Muninn is the old Norse word for “memory”. Every morning at sunrise he sends them off to fly throughout all of the nine realms to gather information on what is happening.

It is constructed from thick wood and features a wooden grip and steel boss. It is edged with rawhide to protect from sword and axe cuts. This shield is a little on the light side for full contact re-enactment but is perfect for theatre and film work and great as a display piece.

Our painted Viking shield features Fenrir, also called Fenrisúlfr, a monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. He was the son of the demonic god Loki and a giantess, Angerboda. Fearing Fenrir’s strength and knowing that only evil could be expected of him, the gods bound him with a magical chain made of the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the beard of a woman, the breath of fish and other occult elements.
