Unfortunately, Volker didn't live to see this small series ready for sale. He died too soon, in April 2021.\u003cbr\u003e The goal was to offer a robust yet lightweight and well-balanced show sword for smaller budgets. Volker brings his many years of experience as a fencing teacher and coach, and as a market leader. The Ulfberth® team implemented these specifications with their swordsmiths and created a Viking show sword with a very good price-performance ratio.    \u003cbr\u003eOriginal pieces from the 9th\/10th centuries found in Great Britain served as the model for this sword. 19th century, which were classified as Type I according to the Petersen typology for Viking swords. It has a blade made of forged spring steel, which was hardened in an oil bath and then tempered. It has a Rockwell hardness of 48-52 HRC, and the very wide groove gives it flexibility and lightness. The edges of the blade are approximately 2 to 2.5 mm thick, and the sword comes with a relatively wide, rounded tip for tournament use.\u003cbr\u003e As with many surviving historical examples of this period, the pommel is a two-part construction: the three-lobed upper section is connected to the curved base by two rivets, and the full-length blade tang is firmly riveted (hammered) to the “cap.”   \u003cbr\u003eWe offer this sword in two different blade lengths (please select the desired model from the drop-down menu: short = 64 cm \/ long = 74 cm). The short version is especially ideal as an entry-level sword for fencers who are not yet very strong.\u003cbr\u003e Optionally available are matching leather sheaths with sword belts, item \u003cstrong\u003eulf-sw-11sa\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eulf-sw-11sb\u003c\/strong\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Exhibition combat quality class: \u003cb\u003eCategory-B\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Learn more about our fight rankings\u003cbr\u003e - Blade material: spring steel (carbon steel, not stainless), hardened and heat treated\u003cbr\u003e - Rockwell hardness of the blade: approx. 48-52 hrc\u003cbr\u003e - Handle material: wood with leather covering, steel (cast) pommel and guard\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions of the ulf-sw- \u003cu\u003e12a\u003c\/u\u003e sword (short version)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 80.5cm.\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 64\/64.5 cm   \u003cbr\u003e- Handle length: approx. 16 cm (handle section approx. 10.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e - Blade width at guard: approx. 4.6 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness: approx. 4 mm (cutting edges approx. 2 mm)\u003cbr\u003e - Center of gravity: approx. 10 cm in front of the guard\u003cbr\u003e - Protector: approx. 12.5 cm long, 2 cm wide, 1 cm thick (center) \/ 2.5 cm thick (ends)\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1140 g\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions of the ulf-sw-12 \u003cu\u003eb\u003c\/u\u003e sword (long version)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 90.5cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 74 \/74.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Handle length: approx. 16 cm (handle section approx. 10.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003e - Blade width at guard: approx. 4.6 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade thickness: approx. 4 mm (cutting edges approx. 2 mm)\u003cbr\u003e - Center of gravity: approx. 15 cm in front of the guard\u003cbr\u003e - Protector: approx. 12.5 cm long, 2 cm wide, 1 cm thick (center) \/ 2.5 cm thick (ends)\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1200 g\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from specimen to specimen.   \u003cbr\u003eThe steel used here is not stainless and may show slight signs of corrosion.
