The Cawood Viking sword

The famous Cawood, named after the site where it was found near Cawood Castle in England, is considered to be the finest and best preserved example of an 11th century Viking sword.

It has been preserved in the mud of the Ouse River bed for almost a millennium and is now one of the main attractions at the Yorkshire Museum. in 1888, a sword was discovered in Norway, which is almost certainly a sister sword to the Cawood

of the Cawood and gives valuable clues to its origin. Hanwei's version of the sword almost perfectly reproduces the lobed pommel and the downward curved crossguard.

The blade has a wide blood groove and is made of high-quality 5160 carbon steel. The weight and balance make for a very easy-to-handle sword.

No details are known about the original scabbard, but the style of Hanwei's leather-wrapped version is typical of the Viking Age.
