Battlecry Maldon Viking Sword
The Maldon Viking of the Battlecry collection is a light, agile and resilient blade that captures nearly everything that made this style a formidable and near legendary design. Created to deal with shields, mail, and thick fur or leather armor, it was more than a match for any hand-weapon of its day. The semi-rounded point was capable of forcefully biting into targets without snagging or catching, while its well-honed edge, neither too wide nor too narrow, enabled the widest possible array of single-hand combination blows. Its snub-hilt with distinct lobed-pommel gave the wielder a firm grip facilitating a quick center-of-rotation easily manipulated for exceptionally versatile action. With its capacity for delivering rapid single-handed strikes, it was ideal for fighting armed with a shield but also highly effective when matched with a seax or even a hand-axe. This a sword well-suited to any hand.
Given a unique shadowed hue, one can well imagine a blade like the Maldon purposely darkened for a Northern nighttime skirmish. Serving a pivotal part in Norse martial heritage, it's easy to see why this style was so feared and so influential. Includes a matching scabbard with belt loops, custom packaging and certificate of authenticity signed by each smith that touched your blade through every step of the forging process. The blade is sharpened.
