Replica of a knife blade from the Viking Age.
Here you can buy a slim knife blade made of 1085 carbon steel that is based on a historical model from the Viking Age.
Narrow knife blades with a tang were widely used by Germanic and Viking peoples and were still common during the High Middle Ages. Therefore, this slim knife blade is perfectly suited for an authentic re-enactment of those times.
The Viking knife blade is equipped with a tang, which is inserted into the wooden or bone handle for attachment.
Like the historical models of the Viking Age, this blade has a very wide blade back and a deep hollow grind, which not only gives the knife blade an elegant appearance, but also predestines it for use on authentic knives.
Forged knife blades with a tang and a broad back are typical of Viking knives. Due to the often poorer quality of steel in the Viking Age, this was done to prevent the blade from bending during use.
Dimensions of the Viking knife blade:
Total length 18.5 cm
Cutting edge 9.5 cm
Blade width 2 cm
Blade back 5 mm
Handle tang 9 cm
The knife blade is sharpened. The hardness of the blade is 54 to 56 Rockwell.
