I commissioned this sword directly from John Lundemo a few years ago. I have no personal or professional business relationship with John. Wolf Fantasy Viking Sword:Overall Length: 36 1/2" Blade Length: 29 1/2" Blade Width: 2 1/8" Grip Length: 4 1/4" Weight: 2lbs 13oz Impressions: John had an original set of hand carved steel Wolf fittings that he had used as the template for his bronze Longship Morrigan line. I agreed to have these fittings mounted to a fantasy Viking blade that John would make. I also provided some Norse symbols and my name in Runes to have etched into the fuller of the blade. Though the blade is not a Type X, it has a very good cut and thrust design. I actually think for a fantasy sword, this blade is awesome. The sword handles exceedingly well. John did a good job on the etching and also kept me updated on the progress of the commission. This is one of my favorite single-handed swords and would be a very effective fighting sword. The total price for this commission was very reasonable and the sword in my opinion is worth much more than I paid. John is a pillar in the custom sword arena and I have some of his personal work and Longship pieces in my collection. Cons: None for me but could be outside what some people want to spend.

Schwarzbaer will consider changing his name, I think.

Big fan of a wolf themed sword........................ Who wuddathunkit? That's a totally boss blade Bill, popping with the cool factor, but understated at the same time. Spot on man, spot on.
