iking warriors were adept at close-quarter combat and used all their weapons skillfully. Most Viking warriors could only afford the most basic weapons and armor. Shields were the most common defense mechanism; they could deflect weapons, but were also used to thrust at the enemy. Spears also had a double purpose, but Vikings preferred to use them to stab rather than throw at the enemy. Swords were crafted to be flexible and were more favored than axes, the tool most frequently shown with Viking warriors. But swords, as well as chain mail and helmets, were expensive and used only by the few who could afford them.
