Five Lobe Viking Sword with Leather Scabbard – Collector’s Sword

History of the Five-Lobed Viking Sword

The five lobe viking sword draws inspiration from swords associated with the Viking Age. Five-lobed pommels are found among surviving Viking sword examples, with documented pieces dating to the 9th and 10th centuries. The British Museum, for example, houses a Viking sword with a five-lobed pommel dated to the 10th century.

The lobed pommel was an important visual feature of Viking sword design, giving the hilt a distinctive profile while contributing to the overall look and balance of the sword. This reproduction takes inspiration from that historical design and combines it with a steel blade, curved guard, leather-wrapped grip and matching scabbard.

Two Fitting Variations: Steel or Brass

This five lobe viking sword is available in two fitting variations, allowing collectors and costume enthusiasts to choose between a more understated steel look and a richer brass look.

Steel

The steel version has a steel cross guard and five-lobed pommel. The matching metal fittings create a darker, more restrained look that pairs naturally with the steel blade and black leather scabbard.

Brass

The brass version of the Norse sword features a solid brass cross guard and five-lobed pommel. The warm golden color of brass gives the hilt a more decorative and ceremonial appearance, making it striking as a display piece.

Brass has a natural tendency to darken and develop patina with age and use. This is a natural characteristic of brass. The surface can be gently polished when a brighter appearance is desired.

Blade, Grip & Genuine Leather Scabbard

The sword has a steel blade with a clean, refined finish. The leather-wrapped grip adds a traditional touch while making the hilt comfortable to hold during display or costume use.

A genuine leather scabbard is included with the sword. It is hand crafted and finished properly for a practical way to display and carry the sword as part of a costume.

The combination of steel, leather and metal fittings makes this Viking Age sword an eye-catching addition to a medieval collection.
