It features a forged and tempered high carbon steel blade that is designed for hacking and slashing, such was the fighting style of the era. The leather bound wooden scabbard is decorated with bronze “knotwork” fittings of Norse origin and features a suspension loop allowing it to be fastened to a belt of baldric.

The ornately crafted hilt signifying that its owner was of high status. The hilt fittings have been cast in bronze and mounted using the traditional method of construction; riveting a cap over the pommel base. The grip is also cast from bronze in a similar fashion to a sword found on the Isle of Eigg in Scotland. At the base of the guard is a protective strip of felt that can be removed if required.

The blade was formed by twisting bars of steel around each other, welding the bars together by hammering and then repeating the process to create this distinct chevron pattern. The leather-bound wooden scabbard is decorated with bronze “knotwork” fittings of Norse origin and features a suspension loop allowing it to be fastened to a belt of baldric.
