Circa 750 - The British
Museum has many fine Viking swords, but one of the most beautiful
and deadly is the "Leuterit" sword.
This sword has the name "Leuterit" engraved
on the blade and it is believed to be the name of the smith that
made it. We have not included this on our copy, as it is cost
prohibitive. But, we have stayed true to the size and weight of
the original, and to its deadly beauty. The Vikings were quite
conscious of the need for a good sword. When they found one
they took quite good care of it, so that many swords served
several generations of warriors. Guard and pommel are silver,
with copper lozenges. Grip is wood with silver pins. Made from
high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts®, complete with
scabbard. You have only to draw and hold this sword to know why
this type of blade was used from Micklegard to Ireland, and from
Iceland to the inland sea of the Mediterranean. Can be sharpened
for additional fee.
