Viking scissors with decorated sheath, Gotland. Decorative

This hand-forged scissor was one of the favorite weapons of the Scandinavian Vikings and has a period-typical handmade leather scabbard with brass fittings. The model is based on several finds of this type of long single-edged combat knives. Above all, many variants are found on Gotland. Roller (grip) in polished ash. Handle, button and ring in brass. The scabbard is typical of Scandinavia and has two loops for the belt, the knife then hangs horizontally on the front of the body and acts as both a weapon and a status symbol.

The blade is hand forged in carbon steel and hardened with oil. The blade is marked with the Nordlys™ "blacksmith's mark" so you can be sure that the scissors come from our forge.

Please note that the blade on this model is delivered hardened and semi-sharp, the blade and can also be sharpened. The model is therefore only intended for collectors and decorative or ceremonial use. We do not recommend using this model for historical combat.
