Viking Knife from Gotland

Viking Knife based on a historical find from Gotland

This high-quality, hand-made Viking Age knife is modeled after an original find from Gotland (Sweden, ca. 9th/10th century). The hand-forged high carbon steel blade was sharpened, and the oxide scale layer was left on the flats, lending the knife a rustic appearance. Like many typical Gotlandic knives form the Viking period, the top part of the walnut wood handle terminates in a bone ring and a brass collar. The grip’s butt with convenient eyelet (for threading a lanyard or drawing the knife from its sheath) is also made of brass. The beautiful tanned leather sheath with ornate brass fittings is equipped with a suspension ring and a belt loop allowing for comfortable belt carry (max. belt width approx. 5 cm).

This knife with functional blade is designed as a collector’s or decoration piece.
