As far as I know, there is no such thing. I went through the brf files just to check out all the new stuff added to the game, but didnt notice such a sword. (the only thing should be the letters on the blade, right?) so I'd guess there is no ingame sword named such. Nothing a quick retexture mod wouldnt fix tough. Plenty of variation in the norse swords otherwise, alltough I highly doubt its really that accurate historically that the people only used the classic viking style swords.

Sounds like you didn't look hard enough, in the vc_swords.brf there's not one but three ulfberhts, at the bottom.

I do know how to find Ulfberth, but i'm not sure about his sword. Read below if you don't mind be spoiled
Construct a Refuge and improve it until you get to hire a Smith. Ulfberth will be the swordsmith and you will have the option to make special request to him, but only if you have more than 600 renown. I'm still in 527 myself, so i don't know if he is going to make me a +Ulfberth+ sword yet

swing 37
thrust 16
widow maker
swing 35
thrust 20
Bot have 90 and 95 speed and reach, same as Nad.
a spear called Rak IIRC
21
31
88 speed
220 reach
The rest of his items are elite items you can find in normal stores, but are improved to Rich standard, which is the second tier improvement level.

Look on the side of the Nad's blade. I only even noticed because it is one of the only special swords with a blade that doesn't look dirty as hell.
Done.
Nad is an Ulfberht.
Ulfberht just is the name of the weaponsmith you get at your refuge.

You can get over 40 dmg for just 40k
How exactly do you do that? All I ever see is option to repair damaged weapons.

thats it. IIRC you will pay like 20k for first upgrade (balanced weapon) and 20k for last.
First upgrade gives more dmg/speed. Second gives more dmg and removes the spd buff.
Just remember to have your weapon in your hand before talking to the npc.

Thanks for the tip, 750 days in game and never figured out that you need to unsheathe the sword in order for this to work
Tempered Nad is sweet.
I watched this last night,
amazing video showing historians, a modern day blacksmith, weapon specialists and engineers talking about what we know about Ulfberht sword... and..
the blacksmith makes one using ancient techniques and tools (if anyone still wonders why its soo complicate to make a sword, watch this!)

I found it. If you capture a norse lord, you can take equipment from them, the sword being one of the possible items. I've just about finished getting the vikings out of the North of England, I captured a few in a huge battle when I was after a wolf lorica for myself, and after stealing the wolf lorica I noticed the sword is there too. I decided against taking it after seeing the huge relations drop the wolf lorica got me, but after a day or two of consideration and now Northymbre is on the edge of collapse I'm going to go hunt for it, might be a bit better than my nad.

there is in fact an sword named an Ulfberht sword. I picked one up off a captured noble, it has the letters on the side and does 35 swing damage and 26 thrust damage in the tempered state as opposed to the widow maker ulfberht which does 37 swing and 22 thrust. I have also found false ulfberht swords.
