Compact, powerful, and rooted in Norse tradition, this 24" Viking Short Sword is a faithful reinterpretation of the legendary Petersen Type H swords of the Viking Age. Though scaled down from the battlefield-length blades of the 9th to 10th centuries, this short sword retains the classic features that defined the warriors of the North: a robust, fullered blade, a curved guard, and the unmistakable three-lobed pommel.
Traditionally used by elite Norse warriors, Petersen Type H swords were both functional tools of war and treasured symbols of status. This 24" version, often referred to as a companion sword or sidearm, would have served as a backup weapon or utility blade—compact enough for close quarters, but deadly in the hands of a seasoned fighter.
Forged from high-quality steel and wrapped with a leather grip for secure handling, this piece is ideal for collectors, reenactors, or anyone seeking to honor the legacy of Viking craftsmanship in a more maneuverable form.

In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
