Cawood is not a viking age sword, although it looks similar to them.

That is a beautiful sword. Have a couple of his regular L6 Viking swords and am very satisfied.

As to the original question. I second the Hanwei Tinker Viking.

Saw this one. That pattern weld is a work of art. It's priced like one too. If viking swords were my thing, this would be my white whale. They are not, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I third the H/T suggestion.

And also is hotter

Checked in with him a couple years ago and he projected another year but it has been over 2-years since that contact. At this point don't really care now if my sword ever gets made.

No deposit thank goodness. He just puts you on his waiting list.

I wouldn't be surprised if Michael's swords have better mass distribution and blade geometry than Barta's...
