I have been intrigued by the single edged Viking sword found on the Arhus Farm in Norway since I saw pictures of it in Ian Pierce’s “Swords of the Viking Age.” It may be the only single edge Viking sword ever found with a pattern welded blade. About six years ago I convinced Vladimir Cervenka into building a replica of this sword for me. This sword was not meant to be an exact replica of the Arhus Farm find. There are some differences, such as an H pommel instead of the C pommel on the original. If you have not seen this Cervenka sword, I have reviewed it here.
