Medieval Warrior 9th Century Viking Handmade Handforged Heavy Duty Real Sword Comes with Scabbard (BK-217)

It's a real sword! And it's sharp as all get-out! BE CAREFUL unwrapping it!Fits into the scabbard, no problem. Scabbard appears to be leather over wood.It's rather Heavy, so again - be careful!I am very happy with this purchase!

I got this a few years ago and haven’t gotten around to writing a review but I will say that I love this blade. The beautiful brass work and the sheath alone make it stand out. Blade taper is a bit off but fixable. It polished nicely and fits sheath perfectly.When you pull it from the sheath for the first time you can feel the quality as everything feels smooth and perfect. The only thing I would recommend it perhaps making it a hand and a half so you have room for your off hand for power. The weight is a bit heavy for a single handed blade but you can still grip the pommel like a hand and a half for added power. From water bottles to bamboo it don’t stand a chance…cuts like butter.Most Viking era swords were between 2-4 pounds for a single handed sword. This one weighs in over 4 pounds and in a real fight would fatigue you quickly versus a lighter blade. Again, add another inch or two on the grip and you’ll be swinging for the fences.I’m building a display for this particular sword so I can enjoy it all the time…and the wife is okay with it!

I didn’t like that the sheath had a piece of long plastic come out and the sword doesn’t fit securely in it.

Just received as a present from my wife. It is an exceptional piece. Scabbard is well put together with quality leather and snug fitting on the blade. The sword itself is gorgeous. Blade is well polished and very sharp. Has a wonderful resonance and pitch to it when struck. Proves that it is heat treated and tempered properly. Handle is a tight fit and the brass fittings are well detailed and quite beautiful, as is the carved wooden grip. It was delivered much earlier than expected and was oiled and clearly taken care of prior to shipping. I have several swords and weapons of low quality for decorative use but this is truly a weapon fit for a northman. Certainly worth the money. I love it.

The sword wont go into the sheath but the sword is sharp and made perfectly

Sharp and straight blade, nicely detailed hilt, sturdy and well-fitting scabbard. I do not use it for combat so I cannot attest to its efficacy in any real or imagined battle conditions.

I give this 5 stars because there is a lot given for a very good price. The sword and sheath look very good. The sword is razor sharp. My only complaint is that the sword is too heavy. It weighs over 4 pounds. Interestingly, the balance is much better than I would expect for such a heavy sword. I have no desire to try to use this in a fight, but I like to be able to experience what a properly weighted and balanced sword feels like. I don't know why so many sword makers make swords that are way too heavy. Perhaps, their customers prefer it. Anyway, this will be hanging on the wall along side another Viking sword, and it will look great.

Bent handle and bad blade and to tight sheath
