29 Apr 2004	Rachel B.	Loading... Wow, I get to be the first to comment..lol..I love how it looks, it looks like a real man's sword. I say that due to the handle looks kind of like a wrench and the threads of a bolt(very clever)..giggles Anyways, nice work!! Robert Jamerson replies: "hehe, thanks for stopping by, and that comment gives me another idea, hmmm, lol"
26 Feb 2006	J. D.	Loading... Blade is acceptable, hilt is a bit over- elaborate. Generally you're looking at short quillons for an authentic norse blade. Eighth- century blades are generally poorly made and of high cost. Swords were used exclusively for attack and shields for defence, parrying stood a very high chance of snapping the blade. Later, by the tenth century, imports from Germany had raised the standard, by competition and comparison.
20 May 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Ran across this by accident on a google image search. I do realize that you've stated that this is a FANTASY design. That being said, I thought I'd clue you in that there is absolutely nothing "viking" about this particular design with the one exception that the blade is straight. The vikings used a very specific type of sword with heavy pommels and very narrow crossguards. This is more 15th-century european.
