== Norse style blades [V] ==
''A long straight backed blade, usually from 27cm to 72cm long.''<br>
The knives associated with female burials are similar in form but are no longer than 20cm long with most being 16 to 17cm (including tang). Also the scabbard suspension rings are made from wire instead of cast rings [ARWIDSSON 1986: p.35]<br>
