Not every Norse blade was a full length sword, and most people never owned one. A short sword sits between the seax and the arming sword: long enough to reach past a shield rim, short enough to draw sitting down in a longhouse, and considerably cheaper to make. It is the honest middle of the Norse range.
Lengths, pommels and etching
Grimtide is the shortest at twenty one inches overall with a triple fullered blade, a ribbed leather grip and a brown leather scabbard. Silverhilt and Knotlobe are both twenty six inches, the first with an engraved knotwork hilt and a black scabbard, the second with a five lobe pommel, etched knotwork and a triquetra leather scabbard. Trinelobe is the Damascus one at twenty eight inches with a triquetra lobed pommel and a fitted scabbard. Trinecrown is the longest at thirty one inches with a triquetra engraved disc pommel and a cream cord grip. Sawglade adds a sawback spine with a stacked leather grip, and Grimleaf is the dagger of the group at seventeen inches with a knotwork cut guard.
They sit in short swords and Viking swords. Below this length, the single edged blades are in Viking seax.
