   The particular stones matter a lot less than the skill and care of the   
   sharpener.   
      
   If it is a real Viking sword then almost anything you do to it will   
   decrease it's value.   
      
   If it's a cheap fake then it probably won't sharpen.   
      
   If it's an expensive fake then I would practice on some old carving   
   knives first.
