Design and Construction

  • Blade Style: Broad, flat, double-edged blades optimized for cutting.
  • Pattern Welding: Many blades used twisted iron and steel strips hammered together to add strength and create visible swirling patterns.
  • The Hilts: Classified by archaeologists using the Petersen typology based on distinct multi-lobed or disc pommel shapes.
  • Materials: Elite hilts featured decorations using silver, copper, gold, bone, or antler.
