As I was looking for a period scabbard for a two handed Viking sword that Angus Trim forged for me, I came across a site called Hurstwic. It was very informative about all things Viking. If you enjoy Viking things I highly reccomend it.
I tried to post a link, but it did'nt take.

Here is one on Viking Ships.

Great site, Rick. Thanks. Here's the link:

The article on Viking honor is particularly insightful as well as inspiring. Growing up in the 40s in the Carolinas, I knew lots of white men with similar honor whose name and reputation meant everything to them - very much like the Vikings of old.
