Ashdowm Viking Sword, Windlass

Ashdowm Viking Sword, Windlass

In 871 AD, the young Prince Alfred, later known as Alfred the Great, valiantly led the army of King Ethelred of Wessex in a glorious victory against a large invading Danish army. This sword signifies the main weapon used in this now decisive battle. The armourers of Windlass Steelcrafts have forged this sword from high carbon steel. The extra-wide fuller makes the blade lighter. The crossguard has been lavishly decorated with raised knot-work. Both quillons and pommel are made of steel and have been darkened to a forge finish. Soft worn leather covers the lamed wooden grip.

Includes matching leather scabbard with belt.

Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.
