Finally, someone who knows swords and history, who can model decently. Very good- ubt you should label it a falchion.

Amazing mate, love it - it makes it better because its realistic, not like a sword which is overly fancy, even your fanstasy viking sword still could work.

And although double edged is much more common in most types, single edge appear predominantly in types C, F and G but are also common with B,H and M. the sword you see here is modelled after a example single edged type-H (C24550 currently in the Nationalmuseet, Copenhagen) the only difference is my blade is much shorter to match the proportions of chivalry the sword itself is about a third longer in life. Thanks again for the comments and I linked some material you might like below (also watch Skarll :axesword: keep being awesome dude!)

Thanks for the reply Zarg30! Always love to see your comments. Yeah Single edged interestingly enough might not have been as uncommon as you think, especially in early Viking swords, later yes much rarer. but Particularly finds in Norway suggest that Single Edge was more popular in certain types for example Type-C which range from 9th century - 10th (C-being the type which I believe Albion’s Berserker is modelled on) these swords are more commonly found with a single edge and are thought to be something that evolved locally in between the migration period and the Viking age. As of Petersons research he knew of 40 examples of type C with double edged blades and 67 with single edged blades.

looks like the single edged Norse sword from Albion (single edged Nose swords did exist, but were very rare. You can go watch the video Skallagrim did on it here: https://youtu.be/sm_IYVftXEI
Good work btw. I am a medieval reenactor with my own set of armor, as well as two friends of mine, so yes lol.
