Product Code: VB.Viking.VN01.LR

Quantity:

Steel Viking Trainer Light, made by Viktor Berbekucz in Hungary.

The light version was developed for Codex Belli, with 3 mm (vs. 4mm) blade thickness and narrow fuller. Used for Western style fighting, where little armour is used, so the light weight allows greater control than the renactment level sword.

Pommel type: II

Used by the International army of Jomsborg and used at Moesgaard in Denmark.

Good Quality in a hard-to-find style for HEMA

I've looked all over for a viking-era sword that I can use during HEMA practice. When Purpleheart finally got some in stock, I jumped on ordering two. I am very pleased with the quality of the swords. Shipping was fast (only 3 days to get to Ohio!) and my order arrived well-packaged and free of damage.
