The celebrated Cawood Sword, named after its discovery location near Cawood Castle in England, is regarded as one of the finest and best-preserved examples of an 11th century Viking sword in existence. Hanwei’s version of the sword replicates the lobated pommel and steeply down-curved quillons of the hilt perfectly, while the wide-fullered blade is reproduced in 5160 high-carbon steel. The weight and balance provide for a very usable sword. The hard-core grip is overlaid with brown leather and has a steel throat and chape. No details of the original scabbard are known, but the styling of Hanwei’s matching leather-covered version is typical of the period. The beautiful scabbard is made from wood then wrapped in leather which features decorative elements and a solid steel end cap.
- Preserved in the muddy bed of the River Ouse for almost a millenium, the original sword has now found a permanent home in the Yorkshire Museum.
