Viking Short Sword – 24" Companion Blade | Petersen Type H

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.
