This sword was forged from a single piece of damascened carbon steel.\u003cbr\u003e A find near Trondheim, Norway, forms the template for this unique sword. It dates from around the early 9th century, a time when Norwegian Vikings raided Great Britain and Ireland. The blade's beauty is equal to that of the hilt and scabbard, both wrapped in grained leather and decorated with a classic Viking motif.     \u003cbr\u003eThe term \u003ci\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/i\u003e , \u003ci\u003eDamascus steel\u003c\/i\u003e , or simply \u003ci\u003eDamascus\u003c\/i\u003e refers to a composite steel made from two or more different types of steel. The name derives from the Syrian city of Damascus, which is considered an ancient stronghold and the origin of Damascus steel production. Typically, a hard, high-carbon steel and a soft, low-carbon steel are joined by repeated welding and forging. The high-carbon steel provides greater hardness, better hardenability, and longer edge retention, while the softer steel gives the blade greater elasticity and increased resistance to breaking. With this technology, which developed in a time of poor and changing steel qualities, the positive properties of different steels can be combined. Due to the different colors with different carbon contents, stunning patterns of alternating layers are created, such as the so-called \u003ci\u003etwist Damascus\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003erose Damascus\u003c\/i\u003e . Because of these patterns, Damascus swords from the Middle Ages were said to have an inherent magic. The Edda describes a Damascene sword as a bloody worm or a poisonous snake.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Blade, guard and pommel are made of a single piece\u003cbr\u003e - Case made with a wooden core covered in leather\u003cbr\u003e - Handle and sheath decorated with ornaments\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Total length: approx. 77cm\u003cbr\u003e - Blade length: approx. 61 cm\u003cbr\u003e - Weight: approx. 1100 g\u003cbr\u003e - Manufacturer's item number: sh2296\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The above specifications may vary slightly from sword to sword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At \u003cstrong\u003eTienda Medieval,\u003c\/strong\u003e we have thousands of medieval and other period products.
