Gebur is right, Mike. :lol:
The black and bronze is really very striking. At first I was big into the Jelling style, but I've come to love the Urnes style of norse art. I like the shape of the guard as much as the elaborate pattern, and I probably would have bought the Knud if it weren't for my interest in the
Geibig type 4 blade. I like the clean simplicity of the Knud, but the Valkyrja is a looker for sure. The trouble now is that I have to get a scabbard that siuts her, and that can't be cheap.
I think I'm done with weapons for a while, it's high time I acquired a byrnie and helm. The helm I think I'll try to make myself, but I haven't the patience to rivet 40,000 rings together. No thanks, I'll be buying that. :eek:
