How do u like this one, I had no money or I would have been sorely tempted, the bronze fittings alone should be worth the price

I was concerned it would be too heavy but actually it handles pretty well. You can see where he removed the rust from the blade and there are many places where he did not get it evened out (smooth). Good news is he got it all down to the bright metal and it has no dark places. Kind of a cool finish actually. Bronze work is nice as well. Slightly overweight.

Thanks - some of the ones in the above pictures have moved on and been replaced by others. Swords made to replicate ones from this time period are my favorites overall.

Really like the Mjolnir hilted one. They are all beautiful, but that one particularly stands out to me. Great collection!

Wow, I wish I had a collection that extensive! Just got my first viking sword from dark knight armory! Super happy with my purchase!

As with many customs, sold for a lot less than I paid. The sword overall was too heavy with the blade Brenno made (to my specifications). I missed the sword and Jeffrey made me a complete sword but I went with a shorter/smaller blade. Handles much better. sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/thread/52996/mjollnir-sword-skane-hammer-hilt

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

I don't think there's anything 'weirdo' about it. Bet ya someone in the past thought of it long before I did. It works, too.

This is it so far. Okay the last picture are not swords but they go with the Viking swords. Click on picture to enlarge. Nice collection, but I don't see an Ulfberht? I don't have one either, but that's the Viking sword I would most like to have.

That's to European looking for my taste. Don't like the Cawood sword either. I like the pre and early Viking age swords. Wide blade wide fuller is my preference.

I have read and watched videos that state that the Ulfberht was a couple cuts above the average typical Viking swords, and generally only owned by Viking royalty. PBS did an excellent video called The Secrets of The Viking Sword, and it was about recreating an Ulfberht. Unfortunately PBS has stopped streaming it. There may be other ways though, and I highly recommend watching it if you can find it. The Ulfberht was way ahead of it's time, and also one of the first Viking swords to employ carbon in the alloy. That meant it was stronger, more flexible, and held an edge better than other swords of the period.
