None more so then the famous + ULFBERHT + branded ones.
This sword has a 32.5 Inches stainless steel blade with a thick fuller and the + ULFBERHT + engraving on both sides. The sword also features a steel full tang which is peened to the pommel for great durability. The guard and the pommel are made of steel as well. The handle is wooden with a leather wrapped grip.
Equal attention to detail is given to the leather wrapped scabbard. For a viking the scabbard is almost as important as the sword. In the Hardar's Saga, Indridi refused a sword as a form of payment as it did not have a scabbard. Also in Olaf's Saga it is mentioned:
"This sword of swords is my reward.
For him who knows to wield a sword,
And with his sword to serve his lord,
Yet wants a sword, his lot is hard.
I would I had my good lord's leave
For this good sword a sheath to choose:
I'm worth three swords when men use,
But for the sword-sheath now I grieve."
-King Olaf's Saga
