Renaissance Clothing and Weapons For Lords and Ladies

Viking
From the fury of the northmen, O Lord deliver us! The feared Vikings took to sea in their longships for many reasons; to explore, trade, and plunder. They were some of history's fiercest warriors and richest cultures. Enjoy our selection of fine Norse replicas from clothing and jewelry to weapons and clothing and know what it was like to go Viking!

Damascus Viking Sword
Often overlooked by modern sword lovers is the tremendous amount of stress placed on a sword blade during battle. Early Viking swords were forged from layers of iron interwoven with strands of steel to produce a very tough sword. Although iron was a tougher material than bronze it would frequently bend. Damascus, or pattern welded steel, was used to make the blade strong enough to withstand the rigors of combat. Excavations of a number of Circa 850-900 Viking swords turned up this lovely damascus specimen in Finland. It has the lobed pommel loved by the Norsemen, but the crossguard contrasts slightly with the typical downcurved versions. The early style blade is well-suited to the quick, slashing blows of the Viking warrior. Our version is made by Windlass Steelcrafts® of high carbon damascus steel. Blade is polished with the fuller etched to show the damascus construction of the blade. Pommel and crossguard are steel. Grip is leather wrapped wood. Scabbard is wood covered in leather with steel mounts. This is a true fighting sword, and one that any Viking would be proud to carry in battle. Overall-36". Blade-31 3/8" long, 1 3/4" wide. Wt.-2 lbs.

Sticklestad Viking Sword
The Battle of Sticklestad was the final battle of St. Olaf. This was warfare in the old school, with two hosts meeting face-to-face and sword-to-sword. It was a brutal, bloody and deadly fight, and in the end, the mighty Olaf fell. Gaining a lot of fame for his exploits, he was eventually canonized as St. Olaf. This attractive Viking sword is copied from a specimen that was quite involved in that kind of viscious encounter. Made from high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts®, the sword is a beautifully balanced and highly effective weapon. Capable of both cutting and thrusting, it is also a delight to the eye. Pommel and guard are tastefully decorated with copper. Leather covered wood grip. Complete with scabbard. Overall-37". Blade-31" long, 2" wide. Wt.-2 lbs. 12 oz.

Historical Excalibur
If King Arthur actually existed many historians place him as a war leader seeking to halt the invasion of the Saxons after the fall of Rome. There are many indications that Encland did, after a time of much strife, have a brief period of peace and prosperity in what is now called "the Dark Ages". this sword is of a type that was widely in use during this period and would be what a hard fiting warrior would prefer. Nicely balancd, well tempered high carbon steel blade offset with antiqued brass parts. Period scabbard included. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.
Overall 37"
Blade Length 31 1/4"
Blade Width 1 5/8"
Blade Thickness 3/16"
Weight 2 lbs 12 oz

Leuterit Sword
The British Museum has many fine Viking swords, but one of the most beautiful and deadly is the "Leuterit" sword. This sword has the name "Leuterit" engraved on the blade - believed to be the name of the smith that made it. We have not included this on our copy, as it is cost prohibitive. But, we have stayed true to the size and weight of the original, and to its deadly beauty. The Vikings were quite conscious of the need for a good sword, and when they found one, they took quite good care of it, so that many swords served several generations of warriors. Guard and pommel are silver, with copper lozenges. Grip is wood with silver pins. Made from high carbon steel by Windlass Steelcrafts®, complete with scabbard. You have only to draw and hold this sword to know why this type of blade was used from Micklegard to Ireland, and from Iceland to the inland sea of the Mediterrean. #500806. Overall-38 1/4" * Blade-31" long, 2 3/8" wide * Wt.-2 lbs. 8 oz.
