Norseman Viking Long Sword

So I see alot of people saying this sword isent combat ready so bought 2. 1 for me and 1 for my sparring partner. After an hour of combat sword hitting sword and shield surprisingly the swords are still togather but one of the handles has a crack in it. Yes this is a display sword so your not going to try storming a castel with this sword but if you want sturdy sword for youtube videos and stage combat this might be a good choice.

Bought this on a wimm as I was looking for a blade to match one I got earlier this year this one is better and I'll enoy it after I get an edge on it

I just received this sword for my birthday and am blown away by it. It is absolutely fantastic everything I was hoping it would be a steel of a deal.

heavy blade weight. good sturdy sword

The Norseman Viking long sword is what I was looking for and serves my purpose well. I did not expect Harald Fairhair's actual sword, this one is good. The scabbard is as tight as my dad's wallet on allowance day, but that is ok. I was very happy with the price, the delivery time (Three days ahead of schedule), and the sword. It is straight and tight, and fairly represents a viking sword! Done deal and thanks BudK!

This is an excellent sword, does not come sharp. Made of High Carbon Teel, which is SO much better than stainless for a sword ( less brittle ).

This is a nice (non combat) sword... It's a deal at 35$ The scabbard on mine cracked slightly when I first inserted the sword, but otherwise, it's fine. I'm keeping mine nice and oily, assuming it's actually steel and not stainless. Fun to swing a little bit, just don't hit anything!

this is a good solid piece, ofcourse none of budks swords are battle ready this is a stainless steel blade, the sword does not fit in the scabbard, but its a na=ice blade especially for the ren faire

Handle is diffrent for sure And the scabbardisnt rounded to fit with the blade hilt Sure don't match the pictures

I ordered this sword based on reviews and I agree that the scabbard is pretty crappy. Oh well. I'm not going to hang it on my wall in the scabbard anyway. My sword was very well made though, and for $35 you can't go wrong. Might make my own scabbard for it if I want it as a costume piece. I plan on ordering another one at some point and displaying them together with my sons' names engraved on the blades. The fact that there is no edge on the blade doesn't bother me at all since they are for display and I have small kids. I have other swords with sharp edges to play around with that are put away. Really nice looking and worth the money. I'm sure you could tinker with it and make a functional blade out of it and if you screw up, it's not like you're out a lot of money.

Folks, if you are paying less than 200 for your swords you will most definatly not be able to use them in combat or against any hard surface such as wood or metal or stone etc you will break it, this site is good for decorative weapons only!

I have a nautical room and it looks good on the wall. Be sure you wash all the black dye from the scabbard and polish with black shoe polish or you'll have a mess on your hands

I give this sword 5 stars, its much better than it looks in the photo, very solid construction, it came dull but if youre into swords and knives you should have at least a good diamond file, I havnt put this to any great test of stregnth because I want to keep it in good shape but swinging it and chopping a bit of brush went just fine, i would definately recomend this sword and Im not just saying that either, if I dont like something I say it, I would consider buying another one of these especially if theres a sale.

The sword was ok but it would not fit into the sheath, the sheath itself was shoddy and the tie on point came off

I'm pleased. It came earlier than expected. It's in good condition. It has good weight. There is a brace pommel (that's the counterbalance to the blade) The blade is pretty straight with a fuller most of the length. There are some flaws but I'm not troubled by them. The brass guard is lop-sided and there are some swells longwise along the blade. All-in-all, it's a great buy and a great foundation for a project. I'm happy to have it. I would like to have a little bit more information on the metallurgy of the blade. Thanks BudK :D

Don't by if you want to use it I snapped the blade off after three hits but it's good decoration

Quality, Weight and Balance is amazing at this price, just that the handle can add more cushion as it a little uncomfortable swing due to the weight and thin side of the handle. Also will be better if seller will sharpen it more

What a great value! couldn't have ask for a better sword. exactly as described

This sword came a day earlier than scheduled and even the amount of time I waited beforehand was worth it! The sword is nice, heavy and sturdy just how I wanted it. And even though it had a rounded edge, I tested its cutting power by using it on the package it came in, bubble wrap and all, and it cleaved right through! A barbaric yet effective cut if there ever was one! My Nordic Ancestors would be proud! Thanks budk for an amazing product. Well worth the money! As previous reviews indicated, this is the best sword under $100. If you got the money and you're thinking of buying it, buy it! You won't be disappointed!

This sword,in a word,is NICE. Oddly it was the only sword I have ever recieved by US Mail rather than by UPS,but I guess it doesn't matter. The sword itself was sturdy, had a good feel, looked neat, but was heavier than I expected. Since it is carbon steel I expect it will probably start rusting after a year but a little rust remover will take care of that. Only problem is the picture has three bumps on the handel that were no where on the actual sword. I don't really mind but the product should come as pictured in my opinion!
