Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA plastic training swords) is this line of high-level replica historical swords. These swords are supplied with a leather sheath with belt and are made of high quality steel and hardness so that they are suitable for intensive training.
This sword is a replica of a 13th century historic bastard sword. It has a size between a single-handed and a one-and-a-half sword. The grip is slightly larger than that of a one-hander, so that when you hit hard, you can put a hand on the grip for extra strength.
This bastard sword has a wooden scabbard wrapped with brown leather and a brown leather grip. The edge is 2 mm thick. In addition, the blade is tempered and made from EN42J spring steel. It has a core with a steel hardness of 45 HRC and the edges have a hardness of 50 HRC. Because of the two different hardnesses, the sword is flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
The sword lends itself best for slashing and is very durable.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
