Overview
Bronze Hilt Danish Viking Sword with Damascus Blade - Deepeeka Primus
This recreation of a 9th - 10th Century Danish Viking sword has a hilt of finely cast and detailed bronze which is matched with a forged blade of Damascus steel. The blade is vibrantly patterned with ripple and whorl designs created by the folding and melding of the different steels used to create the blade. The hilt is in the form of the Petersen Type D Viking sword typology and is based on a historical example. It is cast in bronze and finished with an antiqued finish to bring out its intricate detailing. Like originals, the pommel is a two-part pommel with the blade tang durably mounted to the pommel base and then concealed with a riveted cap piece.
The sword is matched with a scabbard of wood which is wrapped in tight leather and completed with matched antiqued bronze fittings and scabbard slide for wear.

The Maker
Deepeeka
Deepeeka creates an astonishing variety of replica weapons, armor, and re-enactment accessories that range from Classical Antiquity to the 20th Century. Deepeeka has been crafting replicas since the 1980s and their products are essential gear for many re-enactment groups. Many swords, daggers and other weapons made by Deepeeka are durably crafted and budget-friendly offerings. The steel is good and well-tempered and their leathercraft and woodworking are of excellent quality. Deepeeka’s products are handcrafted and (in the case of blades, hand-hammered) are a good deal for those who want a quality item at a good price.

Often paired together
For the first time ever, I have been disappointed with a purchase from Kult of Athena. This sword is exactly as described, the size weight and shape are as advertised. I must admit, based on my previous Deepeeka swords and the pictures in the KoA catalog… and the price, I was expecting… more. The sword is mechanically perfect, whi is to say that it looks machined, rather than forged, and despite the absolutely beautiful Damascus pattern welded blade, does not look, feel or handle like a real Viking sword of the age. Everything about it looks and feels machine made. It is heavy and uncomfortable to grip, and swings like a leaden baseball bat, rather than a sword for cleaving. The scabbard also does not look very much like a period scabard, more like a modern interpretation of “Viking”; it was also so tight that the sword had to be forced into the scabbard with much effort. All that said, both sword and scabbard are solid and put together well; they just does not look, feel or handle like a real sword (and scabbard)of the Viking age. For your money, I think you can do better.
