I have actually been approached to partake in an according research project, yet this is a long term venture and will thus take some years. But, yes, I will of course make a video then!
I have that same wire rope deco around the pummel of my Viking sword as well, good to see it is correct. My sword was made by a man named Paul Binns out of England
Great video! I'm interested in making a viking age scabbard soon and I was wondering if you could show how you wrapped the tip of the scabbard and X pattern?
Die Frage die sich mir dabei stellt, ist ob alle Scheiden mit Leder bezogen waren. Aus meiner Erfahrung eignet sich zb. Leinen genau so gut zur Abdichtung und Stabilisierung der Scheide wie Leder und Stoffe ja wahrscheinlich günstiger waren als Leder.
I just found your videos, and they are quite good and informative. I really liked the multi-part series on making the Viking Shield. Here I have a question: where did you find the silver beads decorating your scabbard? Are they glued into place or do they have rivet studs for securing them? Keep up the videos.
Very interesting, I didn’t know the scabbards where lined, was this the case for all if not most scabbards ?. I assumed that the wood would have been treated with some plant based oil or wax. This type of construction for the scabbard would make it quite robust, how long would it last with normal wear and tear ? Before being replaced ?
The archaeological record and text sources indicate that lined scabbards was the standard in the Early Middle Ages. However, according to Nadolski, an 11th century scabbard from Gdansk was not lined. There is no information on how long a scabbard would last, and like with any item, this would depend on many aspects and factors.
Hi, awesome work, this is, so far, the only place where scabbards from this period are discussed. I was wondering how the reinforcing strips are attached, they seem to be sewn together and glued down with an adhesive. Is that correct? I'm making a scabbard myself and wish to be as historically accurate as possible..
The buttom of the scarbbard, the textile wrapped around the buttom point, is that material wool? It kind of looks like either tablet-wowen bands or just diamond-twill wool? I kind of wanna construct it myself, just dont get what material it is. It looks ridiculousy beutiful!
Das ist Seide, angeblich pflanzengefärbt, die ich vor 20 Jahren von ein paar russischen Re-enactmentfreunden geschenkt bekommen habe. mehr kann ich dir dazu leider nicht sagen.
@@swordandshield danke für's schnelle Antworten. Ich werde im Sommer wohl noch ein wenig mit Leinen und Nesselstoffen (Seide hab ich derzeit nicht), sowie Pflanzenfärbungen experimentieren. Bin gespannt ob ich ein so hübsches Rot erreichen kann.
Am not sure if you still look at old video comments but if you do, Did you make a video on how you built the scabbard? Like the construction of the viking Shield.
im curious, the leather strap + linkage seems to be 3 connection points. Any idea why this is a thing instead of a 2 point connection? Seems like one strap is redundant to its function?
I am a little late finding this video, very informative. For clarity, when you mention textiles, you're basically referring to woven fabric that one could get at any sewing shop, right? Or did you weave your own? Did you make your own brass pins/beads?

Very nice work, I’m glad I found your page, GREAT INFO!
I am delighted you find it useful.
Very exciting
Would you consider a video on viking ship to ship tactics?
I have actually been approached to partake in an according research project, yet this is a long term venture and will thus take some years. But, yes, I will of course make a video then!
I have a sterling silver chape that is a reproduction of the one with the raven heads. At 1:45 in the video.
Great video man. Keep up the good work.
Wonderfully informative. Thanks

Paul is an ole Viking pal of mine.
Beautiful work! Thank you!

Beautiful sword
Incredible, so great!
What a beauty!

Notker Bambulus beschreibt die Scheide Karls des Großen als mit Leder und Leinen bezogen. Das außenliegende Leinen wurde mit Bienenwachs poliert.
Thank you
Cooles Video Dankeschön👍🤘
Bitteschön!
Hope the book is going well sounds very interesting
It does, yet still a lot of work ahead.
Very good work, Roland! What about your book?
Still in the works. Previews are available on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/Dimicator/overview
This is just awesome. Cant wait for the book. Are those scabbard illustrations in your book?
They sure are.

that grip looks like Yggdrasil tree
Interesting suggestion. Thanks.
Interesting.
Wasn't X in Viking culture a simplified form of yggdrasil (tree of life) symbol?
Interesting suggestion.
Like I'm not 100% sure of it but different depictions of this symbol seems like it's based of X shape and could be simplified to it

Wunderschöne Arbeit! Und das für ein Trainingsschwert.
Darf ich fragen mit welcher Technik das rote Leinen für den Überzug gefärbt wurde?
Das ist Seide, angeblich pflanzengefärbt, die ich vor 20 Jahren von ein paar russischen Re-enactmentfreunden geschenkt bekommen habe. mehr kann ich dir dazu leider nicht sagen.

@@geoschorsch1875 nesselstoffe? Interessant!! Gibts dazu ein Video wie du sowas machst?

Hey, did you continue the suspension system explanation in any other video?
Can you draw the sword and put it away with just one hand with the suspension system?
Yes. For images and video of drawing the sword from the scabbard, please refer to the link I provide in my pinned comment above.
@@swordandshield thanks!

Beautiful work. Your book sounds very interesting. Is it only available through Patrion?
It is still in the works, but you can access previews as a patron of mine. www.patreon.com/Dimicator/overview
Where can I get your book????
I am a little late finding this video, very informative. For clarity, when you mention textiles, you're basically referring to woven fabric that one could get at any sewing shop, right? Or did you weave your own? Did you make your own brass pins/beads?
Are any of these strips tablet weaved ?
How did you source the textile bands that you used for this scabbard? Thank you
The pins too, if you wouldn't mind saying. Thank you

Roland Warzecha Good evening Roland, could you please tell me title of the book at 7:20? Thank you so much! :)
Rune IXIXIXI. It is.
Hello Sir I was wondering what do you know about the Suontaka Viking sword. is it a viking era or sword?
Where can one find middle age paintings on the Internet?
This is a great resource: manuscriptminiatures.com/
Or you can go to the library?
Roland - great content as always! Thanks. Any estimate on when the book will come out?
My pleasure. No estimates on book completion, but certainly not this year. Still too many artefacts to examine and to document.
I'm sorry, can you tell me what sword was used as the basis for your replica? Where was it found?
I have authentic viking age scabs
