Product description
Viking swords like this are built for fighting opponents with shields, chainmail, or leather armor. The Maldon is a classic Viking sword replica — light in weight and comfortable to hold. Pair it with a shield in battle, or fight alongside a sax or axe. The tip excels at deep cuts, while the rest of the blade is made for slashing. A patinated finish gives the Maldon a dark Scandinavian look, and the grip is wrapped in traditional leather. The sword ships with a leather scabbard and certificate of authenticity.
The Battlecry line of historical swords, daggers, and axes was developed in collaboration with John Clements. John has unsurpassed knowledge of historical fencing and medieval and Renaissance fighting methods. Windlass Steelcrafts hand-forges every piece from high-quality 1065 tempered carbon steel for strength and resilience. The swords feature an extra-wide full tang, and all weapons are sharp and ready for cutting tests.
Each model goes through rigorous physical testing to exceed industry standards. A patinated finish makes these battle-tested weapons look even more authentic and historical. Craftsmen inspect each weapon individually at every step of the manufacturing process. Only after passing inspection does a weapon receive the blacksmith's mark on the blade. Every weapon ships with a certificate signed by all craftsmen who worked on it, plus a matching scabbard and, where applicable, a swordfrog.
