What the Vikings lacked in appearance, they more than made up for in quality and function: an example of this would be their weapons. Take, for example, the Viking Sword, by Marto: simple, rugged, undecorated, but wickedly effective. While swords among the Vikings were particularly rare, given that axes and spears were far easier to construct, a sword was, none the less, a valued weapon. This sword, particularly, is a reproduction from the 9th or 10th century, easily characterized by the large, broad blade with the fuller along the blades spine along the upper third. The bronze-plated cast-metal hilt features finely worked figures, both geometrical and abstract in nature. And like most Viking swords, the guard is a short elliptical, with a straight grip and a pommel that matches the guard. The Viking Sword, by Marto, is a true Viking weapon, through and through: the decorations are simple but appealing, but most importantly, the decorations dont interfere with the business end of the blade itself.
