Gunnar Damascus Sword with Fullered Blade and Carved Vegvisir Scabbard

The Gunnar Damascus Sword sheathes into a scabbard carved with Norse marks. A vegvisir compass circle sits burned into the wood. Knotwork runs around it across the scabbard face. Brass fittings close both the throat and the tip.

The blade opens into twenty-six inches of pattern-welded steel. Wavy Damascus bands run the full length. A central fuller cuts down the middle of the blade. That groove trims weight without thinning the spine.

A straight brass crossguard separates blade from grip. Dark wood fills the hand in a single-handed length. An ornate lobed pommel closes the end. Divine Knives forges each blade and fits each mount by hand. Wood grain and carving depth differ from piece to piece. No two scabbards read exactly alike.

The History Behind This Gunnar Damascus Sword

Gunnar stands among the best-known names in the Icelandic sagas. Viking-age smiths built swords exactly this way, with pattern-welded bars. That forging showed both skill and the strength of the finished blade. Carved scabbards protected the steel and marked the owner at once. Divine Knives builds this piece in that saga tradition.

Pattern Welded Viking Sword Performance

The fuller keeps the blade lighter than its length suggests. Balance sits close to the hand for easy display handling. Pattern welded steel shows its layers clearly under room light. Wipe the blade dry after handling and apply a light coat of oil. Store it sheathed to keep dust off the etched surface.

Damascus Viking Blade Construction

The grip seats between the crossguard and the lobed pommel. A through tang runs the length under the wood. Brass fittings cap the scabbard at the throat and tip. Carved lines are burned into the scabbard rather than printed on. Dry storage keeps the wood and brass sound over the years.
