Descriptions

The Ulfberht Viking Sword stands as an iconic artifact from the Viking Age, representing exceptional craftsmanship and innovation. Dated to the 9th and 10th centuries, these swords are known for their superior quality and distinct markings.

What sets the Ulfberht sword apart is its high-quality steel, a rare material for its time. The blade bears the inscription “Ulfberht” or similar variations, indicating a level of metallurgical skill beyond contemporary standards. This advanced forging technique resulted in a blade with exceptional sharpness, durability, and a reputation for being ahead of its time.

More than a thousand years ago, the Ulfberht Sword was the epitome of weapon smithing technology. If your average pattern-welded sword of the Viking Age was a Toyota Camry, then the Ulfberht Sword, so named for the distinctive mark left behind by its eponymous maker, would have been a Ferrari. Thanks to its all-steel blade, the Ulfberht Sword came to dominate battlefields throughout Europe as stronger, faster, and easier to wield, causing the design to become so widespread that nearly 200 relics of this time period have survived to this day. If you’re looking to buy an exact reproduction of the legendary Ulfberht Sword, from its brazil nut-shaped pommel, leather-wrapped hilt, and its 30-inch blade with its maker’s mark on the extra-wide fuller. Coming complete with a protective scabbard, this iconic weapon is made from the same high carbon-steel that gave the original Ulfberht Sword so strong and durable, ensuring you’ll be able to enjoy this historic work of art for years to come!
