A sword fit for a king - or a barbarian

[ChrisLAdams]

I'm sure there are some fellow sword nuts on here.  I've loved Viking swords for years now.  I recently added a Ulfberht to my collection of miscellaneous weapons and love it.

Here's an article that burned my biscuits so that I felt I had to make a comment after reading it.  But, it's really neat to see that these old Scandinavian swords are still finding the light of day.

Before anyone spills their mead, let me clarify.

I recently added a replica Ulfberht to my collection.

If I could afford a real Ulfberht , by Mitra, I would certainly have one filling my fist ere now!
