Individual Sword Parameters – Your Requirements, Our Execution!

We want your sword to perfectly meet your needs. That’s why we give you the opportunity to specify your preferred parameters when placing an order. If you have specific requests regarding weight, blade length, balance point, or other details, please indicate them.

After receiving your guidelines, our team will thoroughly analyze the possibilities of fulfilling them and will contact you to confirm whether we can meet your expectations.

Remember that each of our swords is a craftsman's work. The process of making and final finishing is done manually, which gives each piece a unique character. Therefore, the final parameters of the finished sword may differ slightly from those ordered. This is a natural feature of handmade production and attests to the authenticity of your weapon. However, we assure you that we will make every effort to ensure that the sword closely matches your original specifications.

Early Medieval Sword Type M (Petersen) – Simplicity and Effectiveness of the Viking Era!

Step into the heart of the Viking conquests and the early Middle Ages with our faithful reproduction of the sword featuring a characteristic hilt classified as Petersen type M. This practical and durable weapon, primarily dated to the 10th century, has been designed for history enthusiasts and reenactors seeking authentic and functional arms for training, demonstrations, and safe duels.

Authenticity and Solidarity in One:

Our sword stands out with its solid construction and attention to detail, in accordance with historical patterns. It features a long, straight blade (most often classified as type X in Oakeshott's typology), which provides an excellent balance between cutting power and thrusting capability. A key element that distinguishes this model is its hilt:

Straight guard: Provides solid hand protection and a secure grip.
Characteristic M-type pommel: It is flat, rectangular, often with distinctly outlined corners. Its simple form not only reflects a functional approach to weapon construction but also ensures stable balance, facilitating control of the sword in combat. Often made from a single piece of metal, it could be smooth or feature subtle embellishments.

This design was widely used in Northern Europe and beyond, and its effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat is undeniable.

Origins and Finds:

Swords with M-type pommels (Petersen) are among the most frequently found types of swords from the 10th century. Their wide geographical distribution attests to their popularity and utility during the Viking Age and in the early medieval states. Examples of such swords have been discovered throughout Scandinavia, the British Isles, Germany, and also across the vast territories of Eastern Europe, including Poland and Kievan Rus. They are often found in burial contexts, frequently as part of warriors' equipment, underscoring their significance as tools of combat and symbols of status. They are valuable testimonies to the art of blacksmithing and craftsmanship from the early Middle Ages.

Ideal for Reenactment and Duels:

This sword has been designed with durability and safety in mind, making it an excellent choice for reenactors wishing to recreate battles from the early Middle Ages. Its construction makes it suitable for controlled duels, providing both authentic experiences and required durability. With this sword, your historical recreations will gain even greater realism, allowing you to feel the spirit of the era in your hands.

Exceptional Quality of Materials – Guarantee of Durability and Safety!

At the heart of each of our swords lies carefully selected steel and a precise hardening process, which together ensure unparalleled quality and safety of use. Our swords are made from high-grade 50HF steel, which is valued in the industry for its excellent mechanical properties.

Each blade is precisely hardened to an optimal hardness of 48 HRC (on the Rockwell scale). This is the result of years of experience and testing. Over the years, we have experimented with various combinations of steel and hardness, seeking the ideal balance. We believe that the combination of 50HF steel with a hardness of 48 HRC represents the golden mean, making our swords exceptionally functional:

Flexibility and Resistance to Deformation: Thanks to this combination, the sword is appropriately flexible, allowing it to absorb impacts and vibrations during combat. Most importantly, despite this flexibility, it does not undergo permanent deformation, returning to its original shape.
Optimal Hardness without Brittleness: The blade is hard enough to maintain its edge and withstand intense use, yet it is not brittle. This minimizes the risk of sword breakage during dynamic duels, which is crucial for your safety.
