Three Lobe Viking Sword

The 3 Lobe Viking Sword is based on a late Viking design from around the 11^th century and is contemporary with the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066. A similar sword was found on Canwick Common in Norfolk and is now held in the British Museum collection.

It features a forged and fullered steel blade designed for hacking and slashing and is hilted with a short guard and 3 lobed pommel. The wooden scabbard is wrapped with brown leather to match that of the leather wrapped sword grip. Although this sword has a forged blade it is not tempered and is not suitable for combat.
