Hi Bud,
The old viking knife are from the late 700. The viking time started the year 795.
Yes, the blade in the picture are the real thing.
In Scandinavia we have found a lot of knifes from the viking time (795 - 1050), we also find spearheads, arrow heads, axes ans swords from the same time. We find axes and knifes from the stone age and from yhe bronze age also. Mostly we find those things in old graves - but sometimes also in other places.
When I was around 10-11 years old I clime a mountain on the westcoast of Sweden and 2-3 meters from the top I found a knifeblade from the viking time.
I am very interested in history, mostly Swedish history but also Scandinavian history - so perhaps can I give you some answers if you have any questions.
