Hanwei Practical Viking Sword Blunt SK-B
Practical Viking Sword, blunt, SK-B
The sword features authentic hilt styling, with a fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blade, and is made to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today's re-enactment societies.
The grip is permanently mounted and the tang is riveted for safety. The blade is fullered for balance and features 1/16” wide edges and also rounded tips for safety. The tangs are substantial, with radius’d corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel which eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly and provides a traditional means of tightening a loose hilt. The hardwood grips have been leather covered. The scabbard has been fabricated in glass-filled resin, to provide great impact resistance, to eliminate swelling and to minimise blade corrosion. The scabbard features belt rings that adjust to allow vertical or horizontal holding. The wood-grain finish is attractive, but can be decorated if required. This sword is based on our Godfred sword, whose design originated in 9th century Scandinavia. 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 under 1 kg, it is very quick.

Please Note:
Our swords referred to as battle-ready or practical are designed to suit the needs of historical re-enactment / stage fighting and to practice swordplay. The extremely brutal impact of cutting edge against cutting edge (or any other hard object) cannot be considered an appropriate use of these swords and may eventually lead to the breaking of the blade. The warranty we offer in such a case only covers material defects (e.g. hairline cracks in the blade or processing faults). It does not apply to damages resulting from a destructive or inappropriate handling of these swords. Please also bear in mind that a practical sword is basically and essentially an item subject to wear and tear.
