Viking weapons were made from either iron or carbon steel, with carbon steel being the superior material.  Your knife is individually forged using the same time-tested methods as the Vikings - a forge, a hammer, an anvil, and a great deal of skill.  The result is a high-quality knife ready for any situation when called upon.

The Viking Age lasted from approximately 780 AD to 1066 AD. During this time, people referred to them as Norsemen or Danes rather than Vikings. The term "Viking" does not appear in any historical texts until centuries later, long after the era had ended.

Vikings lived in what is now Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, and Sweden).  They were master shipbuilders, constructing vessels capable of crossing open seas while also navigating shallow rivers with only a few feet of water.

A unique aspect of Viking society was the relative equality between men and women. Women could own land and even serve as battle captains. Vikings were also remarkable explorers, reaching nearly every corner of the world.  Evidence of Viking settlements can be found in many places, including the eastern coast of North America.

Today, Viking culture continues to influence modern life.  For instance, Thursday is named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder, and many Christmas traditions have roots in Viking customs.
