[sandy4570]

I would like to know some expert opinion about the five lobes pommel Muesum replica viking sword . How it is stack up against Cold steel viking sword, Paul chen Godfred and other maker ? What is constitute a true Viking sword ? Did the viking cared about repercussion point of the blade and did they had specific weight and lenght of the blade ?

I don't know about the 'five lobes' sword. But you can see a good (and favorable) review of the Sticklestad sword also made by the Windlass and also sold at museum replicas. The page also reviews the cold steel and hanwei versions.

You might want to take a good look at the Gen 2 offerings as well. They are quite good. Quite possibly the best build in 'affordable' functional viking swords.
