Named for the feared 8th century Viking raider, our Godfred Sword (SH1010) is built around a beautifully patterned folded steel blade to replicate the pre-9th century originals. The interwoven leather grip, complemented by a Damascus guard and pommel, is matched by the leather-covered wood scabbard with bronze detailing and integral belt hooks. Superbly balanced, due to the deeply fullered distal tapered blade profile, the Godfred is a true tribute to the legendary Norse smiths. . GRIP: LEATHER WRAP

The Scramasax (SH1075), carried by the Saxons and Vikings between the 4th and 10th centuries, was utilized as both a tool and a weapon. Carried horizontally at the back of the belt, the Scramasax provided the spearman with a close-quarters weapon when needed, and its broad blade could handle many day-to-day chores. The ancestry of the Scramasax, which evolved from similar weapons in bronze (and later iron) used by the Celts, is portrayed in the decoration of the guard and pommel.

A chiseled pommel and guard compliment the wire-wrapped grip with its turk’s-head knots. The 10 ¼” blade is beautifully pierced and fullered in the same pattern as the original. A black leather scabbard, with decorated fittings to match the dagger, is included.
