The Viking Ulfberht Sword, a symbol of power and prestige, hails from the Early Middle Ages, prevalent in Western and Northern Europe. This extraordinary blade, famous for its role in the historic Battle of Stiklestad, reflects the courage and tenacity of the Viking people.
Drawing inspiration from the Roman Gladius, this single-handed sword boasts a sharp tip and edges designed for both slashing and thrusting. The Viking Ulfberht remained a weapon of choice until the 12th century, gradually evolving into the first iterations of the knightly Norman swords.
Our Ulfberht Sword’s blade is forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel. This heat-treated, folded carbon steel comprises 11 pieces of steel, folded five times to create 352 layers. The result? A perfect blend of hardness and durability with a Rockwell hardness rating of 55-56 HRC.
We use high carbon 1095 steel, the highest carbon content steel employed in sword crafting, to ensure our blade can sustain a sharp edge and withstand powerful impacts. The sword’s handle, a work of art in itself, features wood wrapped in leather, complimented by Damascus steel bolsters.
Every Ulfberht Sword comes with a handcrafted leather sheath, reflecting our commitment to quality and attention to detail.
