Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon Sword

Our Stage Combat swords feature tempered, high carbon steel blades and are designed for light combat use. They have durable, thick edges, more than suitable for the rigours of stage combat and display fights. They also feature rounded tips for extra safety. Stage Combat swords are noticeably heavier than historical replicas due to the added weight afforded by the thicker edges. These swords are not designed for re-enactment use.

Our 3 Lobe Viking Sword is based on a late Viking design from around the 11th century and is contemporary with the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066. A similar sword was found on Canwick Common in Norfolk and is now held in the British Museum collection. It features a forged and fullered steel blade designed for hacking and slashing and is hilted with a short guard and 3 lobed pommel. The wooden scabbard is wrapped with brown leather to match that of the leather wrapped sword grip.
