WOW, these blades are awesome I would love to own any one of them . I do have a question on those swords that you have made with the two handed grips like that crimson one . Is it historically accurate . I would like to know of it is what time & culture.

Thank you for making such beautiful swords.

Aloha

@hux5150 Thanks for your kind words.

No don't believe there are any historical examples of two handed Viking swords. They were unwaveringly single handed swords, used with shield, and often had quite short grips to suit a handshake grip where the pommel nested in the base of the palm. Often the grips were only 80 to 90mm. A great book to get is Swords of the Viking Age by Ian Pierce. Lots of pictures :-)

Did the vikings have blades like Solveig? it looks like a Renessaince era falchion/messner or bowie knife

@mojothemigo Hi. It's certainly not an historical replica - just an artistic piece inspired by the Viking Langseax. If you search for Langseax/ langsax you can see the Viking / (Saxon and other Germanic) great knives. These evolved into sword length (30" +) single edged blades as classified in Geibig's Type 14.

Yay! I'm from Finland and I was surprised to see such good names on the Finnish-named swords.

@vampiraitti98

Thanks - I actually had some help from some of your countrymen on the translations. Finnish doesn't compare well to english grammar. :-)

@harumba2 Ah, thought so. Awsome sword though.
