Z-tyypin miekka viikinkiajan lopulta. Terä on taottu hiiliteräksestä, ja siinä on damaskoituna säiläkirjoitus "JNMEFECIT" sekä toisella puolen koristemerkit "IIXII". Säilämerkit erottuvat parhaiten valon käydessä tietystä suunnasta, ja siksi eivät kauempaa otetuissa kuvissa niin hyvin erotu. Kahvan osat ovat rautaa, ja kuumentamalla sinistetyt. Kourain on puuta ja päällystetty nahkanauhalla. Huotra on puuta, villakangasvuorauksella ja nahkapäällisellä.

Type Z sword, from late viking age. Blade is forged from high carbon steel, and it carries pattern welded inscriptions "JNMEFECIT" and "IIXII" Inscriptions can be seen best when the light comes from right angle, thats why they are not so well visible in upper photos. Hilt parts are plain iron, and blued by heating. In pommel there is twisted silver and copper wire between lobes. Grip is wooden with leather wire covering. Scabbard is also wooden, inside there is woolen lining and its covered with leather. Weight of the sword is 1340 g and lenght 93,5 cm. Balance point is 12 cm from the hilt.

I really love blueish shimmer and the grip :) looks like something directly out of a fantasynovel. I'm impressed.

Tää on kaunein työ minkä oot ikinä tehny. Tietysti se on vaan mun mielipide, mutta tässä kokonaisuudessa jotenki yhdistyy kaikki toimivaksi lopputulokseksi.
