The Suontaka Viking Sword is an extraordinary archaeological find from Finland, shedding light on the weaponry and craftsmanship of the Viking Age. This sword, dated to the 11th century, is renowned for its unique design and intricate details.

The blade of the Suontaka sword features a distinctive fuller, a groove running along its length, enhancing its strength without compromising its cutting ability. The hilt showcases an elegantly crafted crossguard, or quillons, which served both a functional and decorative purpose, protecting the wielder’s hand while adding aesthetic flair.

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.
