- Circa Mid 10th Century
The original Suontaka sword was found in a woman's grave in Finland. The grave dates from C 1100AD, however the sword form suggests a much earlier date of origin, possibly as early as mid 10th Century AD.
Our stunning version of this piece features a highly detailed knotwork pommel, guard, grip band and inserts. All have been lavishly plated in rich copper. The tough 1065 high carbon steel blade has a full tang and is fully tempered, then peened over the pommel. The sword comes complete with a rich leather scabbard and matching copper fittings and sports a baldric for wearing this powerful piece. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.
Can be sharpened and/or personalized with 3 Initials for additional fees.

I have this sword it’s beautiful! Amazing!
it is!
Really good quick review. The sword seems to be put together really well. I have a Windlass Dirk that's not all that great in fit and finish.
Thanks for watching!
instablaster...
i did not belong to the woman because she had a different set of grave goods right next to her this belonged someone else buried at another sight. she is also 100 years older than the sword. this sword belonged to someone who has not been uncovered
interesting
hey im considering buying this sword my only concern is the durability of it.
It is fully functional and durable but if you plan on heavy practice or heavy cutting use, I would recommend a Hanwei or Ronin Katana (for this price range).
Does it fall out of the scabbard?
I have one that did and I fixed it in few seconds- pretty easy. if u have access to vice- I just wrapped the entry of scabbard and carefuly tigthen it in vice, so it goes still nicely in/out, but holds in when turned upside down. pliers could do the job too. just be careful and take it slowly, rather less than more, maybe it could crack on overdoing
no
Suontaka means Back swamp.
Good to know thanks!
Don't think theres a single female grave with a sword in it. This surely belonged to a man but the handle is supposed to be way shorter because it is not a hammer grip sword. I don't like that so many lengthen it.
I hope I can remove the "windlass-made in india" with sandpaper. Thats just terrible on a replica of a finnish museum piece
I agree
