Based roughly on the historical Oakeshott Type Xa blades from the 11th to the 14th century, these swords evolved from earlier Viking and migration period designs - with a long and thin central fuller optimized for use from horseback. A popular sword for over 300 years attests to its deadly effectiveness. This particular version is decorated in a manner suitable for a late period Viking or Norman mounted warrior, with a classic type B pommel and type 6 guard.

ABOUT SPARKFOAM

Sparkfoam swords are made to be able to be used by performers both live and recorded. A bendable inner core is used to keep the sword shape, and we use a special layer of material surrounding the blade that gives it a realistic metallic look.

Sparkfoam swords can also be used as costume pieces, for play fighting, display, demonstrations, practicing the sword arts, and anything you can imagine. The product is fun, completely unique in the world, and was created by a unique artist who is very proud of Sparkfoam swords.
