Product Overview
The Viking Sword, Type Petersen H is inspired by sword designs categorized under the well-known Petersen typology, widely used across Scandinavia during the Viking Age. Type H swords are recognized for their distinctive hilt structure and balanced blade profile, reflecting weapons commonly carried by Viking warriors between the 9th and 10th centuries. These swords were valued for their versatility, combining effective cutting capability with controlled maneuverability in close combat.
This reproduction maintains the traditional visual characteristics associated with Petersen Type H swords while incorporating durable modern materials. Designed for collectors, reenactment enthusiasts, and historical displays, the sword preserves the authentic Viking aesthetic while ensuring reliability for controlled demonstrations and reenactment environments.
Materials & Construction
The blade of the Viking Sword, Type Petersen H is forged from 1080 high carbon steel, a material widely used in sword production due to its strength, toughness, and durability. This steel composition provides an effective balance between hardness and flexibility, helping the blade maintain structural integrity while resisting damage from repeated handling.
Controlled heat treatment strengthens the steel and improves its ability to withstand stress during use. The blade follows traditional Viking sword geometry, featuring a wide cutting surface that enhances cutting efficiency while maintaining manageable weight and balance.
The hilt assembly reflects the characteristic form of Petersen Type H swords, where the guard and pommel create a distinctive Viking silhouette. The structure ensures stable alignment between the blade, guard, grip, and pommel, contributing to balanced handling and improved control.
The sword is available in two size variations, allowing reenactors and collectors to select a configuration that best suits their display or practical use requirements. The grip section is designed to support a comfortable single-handed hold, ensuring the sword remains easy to maneuver while preserving historically inspired proportions.
Attention is given to maintaining consistent blade geometry and clean finishing across the entire sword. These construction practices help ensure long-term durability while preserving the historical character associated with Viking weapons.
