Fans of historical blades will not want to give this one a miss! The Suontaka Viking Sword makes a great collectible sword or functional weapon. The original Suontaka sword was found in a womans grave in Finland. The grave dates from 1100 A.D., though the sword form suggests a much earlier date of origin, possibly as early as the mid-10th century. Our stunning version of this piece features a highly detailed knotwork pommel, guard, grip band, and inserts. All have been lavishly plated in rich copper for a stunning look. The tough 1085 high carbon steel blade has a full tang and is fully tempered, and it is peened over the pommel. The Viking sword includes a rich leather scabbard with matching copper fittings and a baldric for wearing this powerful piece. The sharpened sword works well for re-enactments or display.

Arrived way faster than expected. UPS dude was jealous..peen was a bit sloppy, but the sword is absolutely beautiful. ApPaRaNtElY she won’t let me sleep with it in the bed…..I do really wish it was sharpened. I may do a youtube review on the sword. Only 1 of many more I will purchase.

Windlass makes some very nice swords. This one is no exception. The craftsmanship was excellent as is the look and feel. Since the sword is based on an actual artifact, I like that aspect as well. Fit and finish was wonderful. This sword fits in well with my RenFaire Viking king character.
