This crucial development achieved near-mythical status among warriors, making this one of the\u00a0<strong>most important sword<\/strong>s in the study of medieval weapons. Several of these blades from slightly different time periods exist, some engraved in gratitude and reverence with Ulfberht\u2019s hallowed name.<br \/>\nPrior to the Ulfberht swords, all European swords were of the pattern welded variety. Soft iron bars were welded together with strips of steel, forged into a blade shape, then a steel edge was welded onto the sword. But, the Ulfberht sword was a quantum leap in both technology and design. Made not of strips, but good carbon steel blades with enough carbon content to produce excellent swords. The design of the sword was also an improvement. This put the\u00a0<strong>balance<\/strong>\u00a0of the sword closer to the hand, making a sword that was faster on both the stroke and recovery than previous blades.<br \/>\nThe etchings on both sides of our\u00a0<strong>blade<\/strong>\u00a0are copied exactly so that our reproduction is identical, warts and all. Made of high carbon steel (actually better than the original) it is beautifully balanced. The\u00a0<strong>grip<\/strong>\u00a0is wood wrapped with leather. The stout crossguard is steel and the\u00a0<strong>pommel<\/strong>\u00a0is of the\u00a0<strong>Brazil<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>nut<\/strong>\u00a0shape that was quite popular at the time, both with Vikings and the rest of Europe.
