Oh no, of course not... that would be vulgar. Understated is the way to go. :roll:

Pretty awesome. What's the big boy in the second pic, right in the middle going north south with what appears to be a tea cosy type pommel? Hard to make out details on the pommel on that one. Looks pretty cool though.

Viktor Bebrbekucz made it and the viking sword on the far right in the same picture. It is a tea cosy pommel but the high level of polish makes it hard to photo. It is a historical copy of a sword from Swords Of The Viking Age by Ian Peirce. Viktor made it from the pictures and measurements in the book - so I would say it is similar but not exact.

Nice to see the awesome viking collections you 2 have. I love viking swords, unfortunately I only have 1. I have planned that I will order a custom viking sword from a Finnish smith, and I eventually will. Just have to save some money for it, and wait for the right moment to commission it. As well as decide what style I want to go with, good thing I have a long while to think what is my favorite style. So far only factory 2nd VA Hedemark, but I might get another production viking some day before getting a custom.

Mr. Swiger: all you need now is a longship to keep them all in! Talk about a Viking hoard. Do you have a favourite?

This thread.... Is going to make me buy a Viking sword I'd say after medieval type swords the viking style is my next favorite. I really need to add one or twenty to my collection. And awesome pics in this thread, fellas!

My favorite is the Windlass Fantasy Viking Sword. Not because it is the best by any means but was one of the first swords I bought.
Other than the Windlass and in no particular order is my top five: Albion Gaddhjalt Albion Huskarl Albion Valkyrja John Lundemo Wolf Viking Michael Pikula Viking
