    In a word, this sword looks superb. The entire piece feels rock solid, and the aesthetics of the sword are excellent. The blade exhibits no wavering and has smooth, clean lines. The fuller gently flows up the blade, and the polish is very even, almost up to a mirror finish, though not quite, which makes the sword appear majestic without looking like cheap stainless steel knock offs. This is a very lightweight sword, but like so many Viking styled swords, it has a wicked blade presence. The combination of these two factors makes a sword with a very powerful blow that isn't hard to control. Cuts are effortless, easy to control, and highly effective. The mass in the blade near the tip actually seems to propel the sword during a swing. This sword would produce devastating cuts and slashes against historically outfitted warriors. The grip and scabbard, which finishes off the sword nicely, is oxblood-colour suede leather.

    1. Awesome sword

      I was amazed with the quality of the sword,
      Beautifully finished and well protected in transport.

      I was impressed by the balance of this blade, easily wielded in either hand.
      Destroyed our practice dummy with devastating blows.
      I love using it.

      Already considering my next sword.

    2. beautiful sword, fantastic customer service

      My second sword purchased here and I couldn't be happier. The customer service was fantastic when handling queries and following up on concerns. on 26th Feb 2021

    3. You get what you pay for.

      I got this sword a few weeks back and had mixed emotions. The sword itself was fair in weight and design, but was blunt and the sheath was damaged. The handle is crooked and off center, and the glue used to hold the metal belt loops on the sheath must not of set correctly. The one at the top of the sheath failed to set.

      I was able to re epoxy the belt loop on, and run a stone over the edge of the blade, being very careful not to disturb the finish. The sword holds fine now and have tested it out on some cardboard targets. No idea how the blade would handle combat but seems sturdy in build for the most part anyway.

      Understandably it is a fairly cheap sword, definitely not hand made so the price is fair for what i got.

    4. Great Sword!!

      This is a well balanced and great looking sword, it handles beautifully, cuts very cleanly and holds an edge. It looks amazing and fits well in the matched scabbard. Delivery was fast. Highly recommend Medieval Shoppe on 10th Aug 2018
