The Two handed Norman Sword, Known for its crucifix form, is the quintessential medieval sword. Presented in the Bayeux Tapestry: an embroidery that depicts the Norman Conquest, the Norman Sword, classified as type XI with elements of type XIIa, is elegant in its simplicity. The Normans (also called Northmen or Norsemen) were the descendants of the Scandinavian Vikings who raided the European coastal settlements at the outset of the 8th century. Under the leadership of Rollo, a Viking raider, the Norsemen established control over an area of what would one day be known as France. Their control over this area was so absolute that they were granted ownership by Frankish King Charles III, called Charles the Simple, in 911 CE. The Scandinavian Vikings who raided the European coastal settlements at the outset of the 8th century had become not only landed immigrants, but title-holding nobility.
Working on the Two Handed Norman Sword was a Challenging endeavor. Given the historical significance and popularity of Norman swords, we opted to recreate a Two handed version of the traditional single handed Norman swords depicted in the Bayeux tapestry. The Guard, being very symbolic, served not only as a cross for praying prior to battles and ceremonies, but also as a counter block in combat. The Guard, individually crafted from mild steel and finely shaped with smooth octagonal lines, is further accentuated by the decorated leather wrapped Oak handle. The two handed Norman sword is not only one of our best sellers, it is one of the top “Staff picks” in our collection. Hand crafted and properly engineered for durability in combat, the Two Handed Norman sword, is a very solid, responsive, and perfectly balanced weapon. The blade, hand forged with 5160 High Carbon Steel, is skillfully Dual Hardened for precise cutting while remaining flexible for enduring combat. In a nutshell, the Two handed Norman Sword is a finely crafted sword that is built to last!

Having waited for a while, I finally got mine. I Love it! I can see why it is the top pick. It feels like it’s hand and half more then a two handed sword, but I would not due to the blades length. My one nit pick, maybe this is because I lack the experence of holding a true twohanded sword, whe I hold the sword out flat, I notice a small flex of the last five-ten inches, the tip is flexing to the groiund, but whe held straight up, it goes but to being straight. Minus that which I think is because of the 35.5 in. blade legth, I highly recommend you buy one of these!

I bought the Norman Two Handed sword. It is well built with excellent balance. Also the scabbard is well made. It is a thing of beauty.

I just received my Norman two handed sword and all I have to say is that it is amazing. The quality is really good. You have a loyal customer, I will be buying more very soon. Thanks again darksword armory is awesome!

This is one serious 2 hander and deserves immediate respect on unsheathing. A mighty blade that comes with a expertly crafted wooden core leather covered sheath with high quality leather belt is sure to impress. This is a blade for splitting helms with a point of balance that commands a very powerful blade indeed. The Norman is best suited for 2 hand wielding and with this being the sharpened version you really don’t need to swing hard with this bad boy. Nothing but reverence for DSA in their execution of a historical legend just superb in every way.
