Nice! I have that sword too! Cheesy

Here's a pic of mine next to another Viking sword I used to own. The other sword is a replica of the River Witham Viking sword. I ended up trading the River Witham because I didn't like this reproduction. They made it way to heavy (over 4 lb.) and it felt like holding a crowbar. It looked really nice though so I was disappointed it wasn't something I wanted to hang on to.

I still have the Ulfberht though!

There are a strange lot of them in Finland. Sharpening is to be expected. There is so much material removal. The Joe has two Viking swords! You could use this:

Very, very polite. Check out a couple of YouTube videos of sword dancing from his part of the world.
