The Damoxus Single-Handed Viking Combat Sword is built for those who want more than decoration on their wall. Every element — blade, guard, pommel, handle — is chosen for historical authenticity and real-world durability.

Blade
The 5160 high-carbon steel blade is hand-forged and differentially tempered: HRC 60 at the cutting edge for lasting sharpness, HRC 48–50 at the core for flexibility under impact. This balance is the same principle used by Norse and Norman blacksmiths: hard enough to hold an edge, tough enough not to snap.

Guard & Pommel
The claw-style guard takes direct inspiration from Norse motifs found on excavated Viking-age weapons. The wheel pommel, a Norman design standard, sits 3.5 inches from the guard, counterbalancing the blade and making single-handed control natural even during extended use.

Handle
A solid wood core wrapped in full-grain leather gives a secure, non-slip grip. No synthetic filler, no shortcuts. The wrap is tight and consistent from ferrule to pommel.
