Blade Construction

The blade is forged from layered 15N20 and 1095 Damascus steel.

This steel combination is widely respected in handmade blades because it balances toughness, edge retention, and visible Damascus pattern formation.

Steel Composition

15N20 steel
1095 high carbon steel

The blade hardness ranges around 59-60 HRC.

This hardness level helps maintain edge durability while preserving the strength expected from a handmade Viking-style sword.

The Damascus pattern runs throughout the blade surface, creating the flowing layered appearance associated with traditional Damascus craftsmanship.

Unlike artificial laser patterns or printed textures, the visible layers result from forge-welded steel construction.

The blade profile follows a classic Viking-inspired long sword design with a clean taper toward the tip. The overall geometry gives the sword a balanced appearance suitable for collectors, display setups, medieval-inspired décor, and Viking-themed interiors.

The blade thickness measures approximately 4mm to 5mm.

This gives the sword a solid presence in hand while maintaining a sleek Viking-style profile.

Handle Design

The handle combines rosewood and leather.

The rosewood provides a rich natural grain pattern while the leather wrapping adds grip texture and reinforces the historical Norse appearance.

This combination creates a clean contrast against the darker Damascus steel blade.

The grip length allows comfortable handling while maintaining the proportions expected from a Viking long sword.

The leather detailing also adds a handcrafted appearance that complements the traditional design.

Guard And Pommel

The guard and pommel are crafted from stainless steel.

The clean metallic finish balances the darker Damascus blade while adding durability and corrosion resistance.

The fittings maintain a minimalist Viking-inspired appearance rather than an overly fantasy-style design.

This gives the sword a more authentic collector presentation.

Cowhide Leather Sheath

The sword includes a genuine cowhide leather sheath.

The sheath protects the blade during storage while also adding display value.

The leather finish complements the historical Viking styling and works well for collectors who display handmade swords in rustic, medieval, or Norse-themed spaces.

The sheath stitching and leather texture reinforce the handmade appearance of the piece.
