Ulfberht swords were among the most famous and desirable swords of the period, known for their association with high-status warriors, advanced blade-making, and the distinctive name traditionally found on historic examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"779\"\u003eThis version features a Damascus steel blade with a dark, layered pattern that gives the sword a forged, historically rooted appearance. The straight double-edged blade, simple crossguard, and compact grip reflect the practical form of early medieval Viking and Carolingian swords, while the etched wooden sheath adds a strong Norse presentation for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"1149\"\u003eThe blade is made from pattern-welded Damascus steel, valued for its visible layering and flowing surface grain. The dark pattern across the blade gives each sword a more individual look than a plain polished steel blade. Paired with the engraved wood sheath, this sword has the feel of a Viking-era collector piece with both blade craftsmanship and decorative detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1464\"\u003eAt 40\" overall, this Ulfberht-style Viking sword has strong display presence while still keeping the proportions of a traditional one-handed Viking sword. It is a good choice for collectors looking for a Damascus Viking sword, Norse sword, early medieval sword, or Ulfberht-style blade with an ornate wood sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"newm0p\" data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eBlade Craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pattern-welded Damascus steel, known for its flowing layered patterns, dark surface contrast, and strong collector appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1780\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1640\"\u003eLayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e This blade is made with 352 layers, created through a folding process that begins with 11 pieces of steel and is folded five times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"2014\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1782\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e A blend of 1095 high carbon steel, one of the highest-carbon steels commonly used in sword making, combined with #43 and #40 carbon steels to create contrast, structure, and the distinctive Damascus pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2171\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2029\"\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated approximately 55 to 56 HRC on the Rockwell Hardness scale, balancing edge retention, durability, and display-quality craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"i9r8lh\" data-start=\"2686\" data-end=\"2705\"\u003eFolding Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"2726\"\u003eStarting Stack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 pieces of steel\u003cbr data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2748\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2761\"\u003e1st Fold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 layers\u003cbr data-start=\"2771\" data-end=\"2774\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2774\" data-end=\"2787\"\u003e2nd Fold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44 layers\u003cbr data-start=\"2797\" data-end=\"2800\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2800\" data-end=\"2813\"\u003e3rd Fold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 layers\u003cbr data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"2826\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2826\" data-end=\"2839\"\u003e4th Fold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 layers\u003cbr data-start=\"2850\" data-end=\"2853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2853\" data-end=\"2866\"\u003e5th Fold:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352 layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"162vt1k\" data-start=\"2173\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003eSword Specifics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2223\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2213\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2225\" data-end=\"2316\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2225\" data-end=\"2241\"\u003eBlade Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight double-edged Viking sword blade with a patterned Damascus finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2396\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2329\"\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact one-handed grip with a traditional early medieval profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2398\" data-end=\"2499\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2398\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eGuard and Pommel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simple Viking-style fittings consistent with Norse and Carolingian sword forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2589\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2512\"\u003eSheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e Etched wooden sheath with Norse decorative artwork and metal fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46207590858924,"sku":"100002007W","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/63386-Done_5382b0ab-3e53-4588-8943-502defbae7e2.jpg?v=1777563829","url":"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/products\/ulfberht-style-viking-sword-damascus-steel-with-etched-wood-sheath-40","provider":"Battling Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
