My pillaging gear is almost complete. Next I need to carve a wooden dragon head and mount it on my canoe.:D

This should show the difference between a 22" haft and a 25" haft.

ULF = wolf

I'm leaving the long one plain for now until I see how the handle fares against the usual small degree of shrinkage I expect, especially in winter.

But the 22" one, some interlaced knotwork celtic/norse designs are coming soon.
 
The sword is a River Witham viking sword repro by Generation2. It's a nicely well-tempered piece of 5160 steel. No, it's not as cool and awesome and perfect as those high priced Albions but I've tested it thoroughly and it's built like a tank. I have absolute confidence in it.

The Seax is by Himalayan Imports (made by Kami Dil). Again, very tough (probably 5160) and it took a surgical quality edge. I'm hoping the shop back in Nepal will make a longer Langeseax version about 20" long. This one is 14.5" long.

The next acquisitions I need are a good viking shield and a spangenhelm.

I already have a viking dog, Thor, who is 1/2 Norwegian Elkhound and 1/2 German Shepherd.

He suggests we sail our canoe along the beach at the local lake and run ashore to raid peoples' picnics.

Great dog.

Dude, you seriously need to make a scale dragonship with say 3 shields on each side, and get a helm for your dog.

Damn,now I really want to do one. . .
 
You know fellas...it aint a proper rampage without a burning ship funeral at the end.
 
Nice assortment of weaponry. Useful tools for back in the day when the way to meet girls was by attacking their village
