Knives of the Avenger (1966) follows a mysterious warrior who arrives in a Viking village and vows to protect a woman and her child from a ruthless warlord, even as secrets from his past resurface. As revenge and redemption intertwine, his violent skill with the throwing knife becomes both weapon and fate. This Viking adventure-drama blends mythic heroism and tragic emotion in Mario Bava’s somber tale of honor, guilt, and sacrifice.
