This lightweight sword, with its impressive cutting power, would
have been the ideal weapon for the Holmganga (Viking duel). It
was found in the River Scheldt which runs from France, through
Belgium and the Netherlands, emptying into the North Sea. It probably
dates from around 750 AD. It's a beautiful example of the swordmaker's
magic, eschewing decoration in favor of a form that clearly demonstrates
function. Carefully hand-forged blade of high carbon steel. Wooden
grip with leather wrapping, brass pommel and guard. Comes complete
with scabbard.
Overall: 36"
Blade: 30 1/4" long, 1 3/4" wide
