How to Care for Your Viking Sword
Don't forget to maintain the edge and finish of your Viking sword with proper care. Learning how to look after your blade is essential — it supports the longevity and character of the steel. For example, regular oiling protects high-carbon and Damascus steel from moisture and oxidation, preserving the integrity of the blade. Keeping a proper cleaning cloth and blade oil on hand is great for tackling surface rust, fingerprints, and contaminants after handling. As a general rule, clean before you oil, and store in a dry environment away from humidity.
