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. Preserved in the mud of the bed of the River ouse for almost a Millenium, the sword has now found a permanent home in the Yorkshire Museum, where it is a leading attraction. What is almost certainly a "sister" sword was unearthed in norway in 1888, giving a valuable clue to the cawood sword's origin. 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. No details of the original scabbard are known, but the styling of hanwei's leather-covered version is typical of the period. Overall: 35 5/8" blade length: 29 5/8" handle length: 4" weight: 2 lb 7 oz blade steel: 5160
