FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

The Witham Sverth is a Viking Age sword inspired by a find in River Witham opposite Monks Abbey in Lincoln, UK.  The double-edged blade is crafted in tempered high carbon EN45 steel, and it comes with a distinctive fuller. The guard and pommel are also made in steel. Included with the sword is a leather-wrapped scabbard and a belt. The belt can easily be adjusted so the sword can be worn on the right side of the hip. The sword can be used for costume dressing and reenactment purposes. It is, however, not fully blunted and thus not suitable for reenactment fighting.
