The Viking leather sheath with high-quality cast bronze fittings is in no way comparable with the widespread and low-quality sheaths with thin sheet brass from Pakistani production, but stands out from them pleasantly.
The historically correct suspension for the belt loop and the skilfully made open-work sheath fittings, which were made true to detail according to a historical model from grave 877 in Birka, deserve special attention. Link to the original sheath fitting....

The sheath is suitable for Viking knives with an overall length of approx. 20 cm.
