The word valknut is a modern word used to describe symbols found in eighth and ninth century Norse artifacts found in Scandinavia by archaeologists. The valknut symbol itself consists of three overlaid and perhaps interlocking equilateral triangles, used as a decoration, perhaps with religious significance, on pottery, bedposts, grave decorations and the like. The word valknut in a modern invention, not found in extant ancient texts or inscriptions. which nonetheless derive from the Old Norse words "valr" meaning "fallen warriors" and "knut" meaning "knot." It is not currently known what the symbol meant, though there are various modern speculative theories. Since the valknut symbol has been found on artifacts that might have been worn (such as a ring), and since textiles or skins bearing the valknut symbol would presumably have deteriorated or perished over the centuries, it is possible the people we now call Vikings might have worn some article of clothing or jewelry bearing the valknut. But until such an article -- or its contemporary graphic representation -- turns up, it will not be possible to state conclusively that Vikings did wear the valknut.
What are the different types of longboats?
According to the sagas and the archaeological evidence, there were basically four important types: The "knarr" was a sturdy trading vessel manned by a crew of +-20. The "Karven" could carry up to 30 people, including more goods, slaves and horses. The "snäcka" (= shell) was sturdier and slower than a longship, but a warship nonetheless. It had 20 benches for rowers, could carry horses and supplies, and was the most common warship. The "longship" is the most fabled of Viking warships. Sleek, narrow and short of draft it could, according to the sagas, carry 100 warriors, and often more.

The vikings were just a title or description used only for the people who went aviking. A farmer during the viking age was not a viking. He was a farmer. And most people during that time were farmers. a fletcher was a fletcher, a blacksmith a blacksmith, and if someone went aviking, they were a viking. To go aviking meant to go on raid expedition.
Vikings were of Scandinavian origins and the Scandinavians were collectively referred to as "normanni" (norsemen) by western chroniclers at the time. Eastern chroniclers called them "varangians". The scandinavians themselves were divided in many tribes. They collectively sometimes referred to themselves as "norroenir menn" (northern men).
