Legend
Have you ever dreamt of wielding a Viking sword with a historically authentic design? Then your saga is about to begin!
Description
As part of the Epic Armoury's Stronghold Master Collection, the EirikR Sword is a durable, high-quality LARP weapon that adheres to history without compromising safety. A perfect weapon for any Viking role player or historical reenactor, stalwartly standing within mead halls, aboard Viking ships or on the open battlefield. The eyes of the Allfather rest upon you!
Inspiration
The EirikR Sword is made as a collaboration between artisans of Epic Armoury and archaeologists from Lejre Land of Legends. It is designed to match the Osted Sword found in 1887 near the town of Osted in Lejre, Denmark. Due to its pattern-welded blade and the herringbone ornamentation with silver and copper on the cross-guard and pommel, archaeologists assess that the sword most likely belonged to a king or a highly esteemed housecarl.

Maintenance
This Stronghold weapon’s handle does not require any special maintenance. Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with a thin layer of silicone spray (available from any home improvement store), which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint. Store your weapon flat or on its pommel - NEVER on its tip. Keep your weapon in a cool, dry environment, wrapped in a towel or a sheet.
