The 4 3/4-inch grip is sized for a firm one-handed hold, allowing the sword to be used effectively alongside a shield in the traditional Viking fighting style. The hilt features a straightforward guard and pommel typical of Viking swords, emphasizing functionality and durability. The wooden grip is wrapped in leather to provide a comfortable and secure hold during use while maintaining a historically appropriate appearance. With its durable spring-steel blade, traditional Viking proportions, and responsive handling, the VB Sven “light” sword is an excellent choice for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and reenactors seeking a functional representation of a classic Viking-Age weapon that is easier to wield than many other reproductions on the market.
