i have so many practical things i need money to accomplish

i cant justify spending money on a sword...so i just window shop

one-a-these days, tho...i'd like to get a real viking sword

and this one would be one of my top picks

watch the video...the sword is awesome...they could send Jason, Freddy Krueger and the zombie army atcha and youd cut them to pieces

love it

You might want to check out Albion. Nobody else really comes close. Not Del Tin, Windlass, Cas-Hanwei or anybody. And best of all... they’re made in the USA. :-)

They make a nice selection of seriously period-accurate viking swords, along with their other types too. I’ve got the Baron (sharp) and the Liechtenauer (blunt). I also have some Hanwei sharps and blunts, and a couple of Cold Steel sharps. Cold Steel is a little hit and miss on quality. When they’re good they’re really good, but they’ve had some quality issues over the years. They are not particularly historically accurate. Unlike Albion... they go to great lengths to reproduce extremely accurage period pieces, in every way, from design to construction and metallurgy.
