One weapon cost less than a cow and killed more warriors than every sword on every Viking battlefield combined. Another let a single man hold a bridge against an entire army, 40 kills, before anyone figured out how to stop him. From rocks grabbed off the ground in desperation to a blade so terrifying enemies adopted it after it kept killing their horses, every Viking weapon ranked from completely useless to absolutely devastating. Discover why Odin himself chose the common man's weapon, and what the Ulfberht sword's impossible steel reveals about Viking trade routes spanning 3,000 miles.
