Viking Swords: Blades of Legend

The sharp clang of steel meeting steel. The weight of a hilt in your hand, balanced and ready for the next strike. A Viking sword is more than a weapon—it is a symbol of bravery, honor, and the untamed spirit of the north. For centuries, these blades carved their way into history, wielded by daring warriors in pursuit of glory and conquest.

Today, the Viking sword remains an iconic choice for LARPers, cosplayers, and historical reenactors alike. Whether you’re stepping into the shoes of a legendary Jarl or crafting a new saga of your own, these blades are the ultimate tool to bring your story to life.

The History Behind the Sword

The Viking sword is steeped in history, mythology, and craftsmanship. It reflects the culture of its time and the legends it inspired.

A Warrior’s Legacy

In the hands of Norse warriors, the sword was both a status symbol and a weapon of choice. Forged with precision and adorned with intricate patterns, Viking swords were crafted to last through countless battles. Blades such as Ulfberht, with its near-mythical strength, are legendary testaments to the ingenuity of early smiths.

Myths and Modern Fantasy

Viking swords have earned their place in the popular imagination. From the heroic tales of Beowulf to the modern epics of Vikings and The Northman, these weapons remain synonymous with courage and adventure. For today’s enthusiasts, a Viking sword is more than a replica—it connects to the stories of old and the heroes who shaped them.

At Epic Armoury, we believe every piece of gear should carry a story—and some stories are forged through extraordinary partnerships. We collaborated with Sagnlandet Lejre, a Danish museum renowned for its Viking and Iron Age history expertise, to create the EirikR Sword. This sword embodies the spirit of Viking craftsmanship while reflecting the insights of historians and artisans who bring the Viking Age to life.
