Viking Short Sword – 17.5” | High Carbon 1095 Steel Blade

Steeped in the legacy of Norse warriors, this 17.5-inch Viking Short Sword is inspired by the legendary weapons of the Viking Age. Also known as the Ulfberht sword, this style was prevalent throughout Western and Northern Europe during the Early Middle Ages, originating in the 8th century from the Merovingian sword and evolving from the Roman gladius. This single-handed sword was a favored weapon among Viking raiders, valued for its versatility in both slashing and thrusting combat.

Though shorter in length, this compact design preserves the power, balance, and history of the original full-sized Viking swords. It’s ideal for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function.

Blade Material: 1095 High Carbon Steel

Forged from 1095 steel, this blade mirrors the hardness and edge retention of the best ancient Viking and early medieval swords. With a carbon content of 0.95%, 1095 steel stands above most modern sword materials in terms of hardness and sharpness. Its Rockwell Hardness of 56–58 HRC ensures a long-lasting edge, making it capable of withstanding high-impact blows while remaining easy to resharpen.

Specifications:

  • Sword Type: Viking Short Sword

  • Overall Length: 17.5"

  • Blade Material: High Carbon 1095 Steel

  • Rockwell Hardness: 56–58 HRC

  • Handle Material: Rope-wrapped grip for a rugged, traditional feel

  • Sheath: Genuine Leather Sheath Included

With its historic roots, superior steel, and compact power, this Viking Short Sword is a modern homage to the battlefield tools of the Norsemen. Whether displayed or wielded, it’s a blade that carries the spirit of the Viking age.

Beautiful Blade

I've purchased several swords from battling blades and this is my favorite. Perfect for everyday carry, arrived very sharp and very nice craftsmanship.

Best blade

This is, by far, my favorite short blade. Very straight, very sturdy. Nicely wrapped leather handle, well balanced. Only issue I had is the sheath is coming apart at the bottom, but for me that's an easy fix. Very well done. Perfect size for carry, and perfect thickness for my taste.
