Brilliant don’t miss out! 0 people found this helpfulFantastic sword! Just what you want for a legit high quality sword! Price is defiantly worth the quality of this fine piece! Especially as you can choose for it to be sharpened (verrryyy sharp!) detail is amazing on the handle, and has a nice weight to it! Would recommend to anyone after a Viking sword!

Nice sword 0 people found this helpfulThis is a realy nice replica of the Suontaka sword,this is a nicely balanced sword and slices easily through a 2ltr water bottle, like everyone that has had a sword sharpened its never as sharp as you like but after 30 mins on my sharpening stone its to my likeing, ive heard a lot of people say that the price of this weapon is to low to make it any good i totaly disagree this is a beautiful weapon with a real sence of history, weather you intend just to display it or weather like me you want to use it to practice your sword skills it will bring a smile to your face. as for southern swords briliant as always and sue who deals with orders is the most helpful person ever ...give her a rise

A very special Viking sword 0 people found this helpfulSouthern Swords have delivered on their promise to supply an outstanding Windlass product with this replica. It has a history worthy of Thor and looks stunning from point to pommel. The artwork and craftsmanship in the details are amazing and accurate. The wood work beautifully recaptured as it have been originally. As a functional sword you can be confident it's strong and safe sandbar the end of the day hang it on show. As my first sword from Southern Swords and Windlass as well as being my first functional sword I am blown away. Such a great piece of history to be privileged to own. Also it is priced perfectly. I would highly recommend any Vikings out there get this sword.

Stunning replica 0 people found this helpfulWindlass have done a fantastic job of recreating this beautiful sword. The detail on the hilt is clear and very accurate. On other reviews of this sword, people have noted that the copper inlays on the grip, are not quite lined up perfectly, my response to this is - these swords are hand made, as was the original, and It is quite plausible that the inlays were not quite lined up on the original, so in my opinion such minor imperfections, actually, compliment the piece and add to its authenticity. I have also noted that people have said it appears to be 'a little blade heavy' - again Viking era swords were blade heavy, cutting / hacking weapons, why would you buy a Viking era sword and expect it to handle like a 16th century sword ? The only thing I can say, is that the grip 'may' be a little longer than the original, although I can not confirm this as I don't have the specs of the original. It has a solid construction, and I can tell by the peen that it has a full tang that is nice and thick. The blade is well formed and not too thin, with excellent tempering and flex. This is the best and most accurate replica of the Suontaka sword that I have seen anywhere, and it's value for money and quality are unrivalled.
