kk16 - Viking swords in Finland (in finnish)

What was the Viking Age sword like? Who carried the sword? What did a sword mean to a person in the Viking Age? How was the sword made and how was it used?

The Viking sword was a feared and effective weapon. The sword was considered the most valuable of weapons and was associated with mysticism and supernatural properties. As an object, it reflects trends in fashion and styles, changes in combat techniques and the development of metalworking methods.

Archaeologist Mikko Moilanen's research has revealed that Finland is one of the great powers of Viking swords. A huge number of Viking swords have been found in Finland, which challenges the perception of our country as a poor remote region of the Viking Age. The impressively illustrated Viking Swords in Finland tells the story of the swords of the Viking Age, from the blacksmith's workshop to the moment when the sword falls to the ground for future generations to find.
