Viking Swords 

Blades Built for Legends

You can hear it, can’t you?
The ring of steel, the thunder of boots, the distant roar of the sea. When you pick up a Viking sword, you’re not just holding a weapon — you’re stepping into a saga.

For Viking warriors, the sword was more than a tool for battle. It was a badge of honor. A companion in war. A symbol of power and pride. And that hasn’t changed much. Whether you’re charging into a LARP skirmish, leading a reenactment, or suiting up for a photoshoot, a Viking sword still says one thing loud and clear: this character means business.

At Epic Armoury, we craft Viking swords that feel real in your hand, look stunning on your belt, and stand up to the demands of adventure.

Ready to write your own saga? It starts with the right Viking sword.

Viking Swords Through History

Born for Battle, Built to Endure

Back in the Viking Age, not everyone got to carry a sword. It was a status symbol — forged with care, often passed down through generations. The best Viking swords were balanced, broad-bladed, and made to deliver devastating slashes in close quarters.

Names like Ulfberht have become the stuff of legend. These blades weren’t just practical — they were beautiful. Etched with runes, wrapped in fine leather, and topped with unique pommels that spoke to their owner’s wealth and status.

To hold a Viking sword back then? It meant you were someone to be reckoned with.

Still Iconic After a Thousand Years

Fast-forward to now, and Viking swords are still some of the most beloved blades in the world of LARP, cosplay, and historical reenactment. There’s something about that iconic silhouette — wide blade, short guard, solid grip — that just feels right in your hand.

And thanks to modern materials, today’s Viking swords are safer, lighter, and more versatile than ever. Whether you’re swinging one in a full-contact LARP or displaying it at a convention, it’s a weapon that makes a statement.

The EirikR Sword — History in Your Hands

Some Viking swords are built with more than just materials — they’re made with meaning. That’s exactly what the EirikR Sword brings to the table.

Developed in collaboration with Sagnlandet Lejre, a world-renowned Danish Viking museum, the EirikR Sword is packed with historical DNA. Its hilt is based on real archaeological finds, while the blade is constructed with durable PU foam for full safety during LARP combat.

It’s equal parts artifact and adventure tool.
This Viking sword doesn’t just look authentic — it feels like something that belongs in the Viking Age.

Carry the EirikR Sword, and you're not just playing a role — you're channeling a legacy.

Built for Combat, Styled for Story

Foam Viking Swords That Can Take a Hit

Every Viking sword we make is ready for battle. Reinforced cores, flexible foam blades, and hand-painted finishes mean you can fight hard and look great doing it.

Whether you’re blocking, parrying, or posing, these swords keep their shape and keep you safe. They're lightweight enough for long events but strong enough to feel solid in your grip.

You’ll find details like leather-textured grips, Norse-style crossguards, and subtle weathering that make each Viking sword stand out.

A Viking Sword for Every Kind of Warrior

LARP, Reenactment, Cosplay — You Name It

These swords are made to fit right in, no matter the setting.

In LARP combat, a Viking sword gives you range, weight, and control — all without sacrificing safety. In cosplay, the historical details and texture make your whole look pop. And in reenactments? The shape, balance, and realism help bring the past to life.

Imagine leading your clan into the fray, sword in hand, shield at your side.
Or standing still on a hilltop, the wind pulling at your cloak, sword resting at your hip — the very image of a Viking hero.

A Viking sword doesn’t just complete the outfit. It completes the moment.

Choosing the Right Viking Sword

It's All About Fit and Feel

Not all Viking swords are created equal — and that’s a good thing.

Maybe you’re playing a fast-moving rogue or scout. In that case, a short seax-style Viking sword gives you agility and precision.
Prefer to play a chieftain, shieldmaiden, or frontline tank? Then you’ll want a full-length Viking sword with presence and weight.

We offer both. Some are sleek and simple, others richly detailed with engraved pommels and painted hilts. Some look fresh off the forge, while others have that weathered, battle-worn vibe.

And material matters too.
Foam Viking swords are ideal for active combat. Want something more decorative for a photoshoot or display? Choose a piece with intricate detailing and a bold finish.

The right Viking sword isn’t just one you like — it’s one that feels right for your story.

Taking Care of Your Viking Sword

Keep It Sharp — Even If It’s Foam

Your sword might be made of foam, but it still deserves respect.
Here’s how to keep it in top form:

  • Clean after use with a damp cloth. Dirt and sweat can wear down detailing.

  • Store it smart — away from heat, sunlight, or heavy pressure.

  • Check for wear regularly. A little TLC can keep your Viking sword going strong for years.

Got a sheath or wall hook? Even better. Your sword deserves a place of honor when it’s not in your hand.

Treat it like a real weapon, and it’ll keep playing the part for many future adventures.

Step Into the Saga

A Viking sword is more than a prop. It's a promise. A signal that you’re not just playing a role — you’re stepping into something bigger. A moment. A memory. A myth.

At Epic Armoury, we build Viking swords to help you cross that threshold. To turn a costume into a character. A fight into a story. A blade into a legend.
