Overview
Viktor Berbekucz - Cedric Longsword with 35" Blade - Black
The Cedric Longsword is a meticulously crafted Medieval-style longsword from VB Swordshop of Hungary designed for sport combat, reenactment, and stage use. Built with a focus on durability and performance it combines a high-quality spring steel blade with a reinforced hilt to ensure the sword is fully capable of handling intensive blade-on-blade contact while remaining visually authentic.
Measuring 35.5 inches in blade length, the high-carbon spring steel blade is blunted for safety, with an edge thickness of approximately 2–3 mm and a rounded spatulate tip. The blade is tempered to a hardness of 50–54 HRc, giving it resilience for repeated impact without sacrificing balance or control. Both crossguard and pommel are made from steel, and the blade is securely mounted with a wide peen over the pommel. Additional reinforcement comes from welding the blade tang to the crossguard and pommel, creating a solid, dependable construction. Even the gap between the blade and crossguard in the guard slot is shimmed with steel to further secure and reinforce the blade at a critical junction.
The 9 and 3/8 inch beechwood grip is wrapped in leather, providing a secure, comfortable hold for one or two hands. Despite the sword’s robust construction and thick blade, it remains surprisingly easy to wield, weighing approximately 3 lbs 6 oz with a point of balance roughly 3.5 inches above the guard. The Cedric Longsword is a versatile and reliable choice for armored fighting practitioners, reenactors, and anyone seeking a sport-ready, historically inspired longsword.

The Maker
VB Swordshop
I am Viktor Berbekucz, weaponsmith.
Ever since childhoold, I’ve been drawn in by daggers and swords. Already at 14 years old I’ve been collecting tomes detailing the subject, and around this time I started to take part in medieval reenactments. My first swords have been made for personal use, and then I truly understood what sort of stress a weapon has to endure when I wield them.
To increase their quality, I’ve contacted experts. I can thank much to the help of the Hungarian National Museum’s specialist, Temesváry Ferenc, who expanded my tehoretical knowledge. As well as to Jeges András, restorator and my mentor, who introduced me to the basics of swordsmithing.
At 21 years old, I’ve began working on the idea of my very own workshop. It surprised me that there was a demand for my swords and armours. Since then I’ve been holding the improvement of quality as my most important task. Since my three decades taught me that bladesmithing is never a concluded thing; there is always more to learn. The greatest teacher is the work itself, and the strictest quality inspector is the customer. To me, the greatest acknowledgment is that my clients always return – this gives me certainty that I am on the right path. I honestly believe that my creations help discover the past, and give joy to those who take them in hand.
Story of VB Swordshop and the webshop
More than twenty years ago I’ve become more close-knit with reenactment. As reenactor of the Salamon Historic Club and the Order of Saint George (of the Kingdom of Hungary). During this time I’ve met with many mediveal reenactors, collectors, craftsmen, and craftswomen. Which is how I experienced the needs of the customer side. Parallel to mediveal reenactment, I’ve started smithing. First as a sole proprietor, then with two employees.
Without my wife Andrea, none of this would have become possible. She worked administration, orders, and correspondence with customers. So I could fully focus on the smithing. We’ve been touring Europe’s Renaissance and Medieval fairs, where we presented our products.
The number of orders have continuosuly grown, not just from individuals, but also from the Hungarian Defence Forces. The number of people in the worshop also have risen. The Andrea’s suggestion we’ve switched to a company, and that’s how VB Swordshop came to be, and she created the webshop too.
Our company’s motto: “Tradition, Quality, Guarantee” – which expresses our creed.
