Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA synthetic training swords) is this line of high-level historical replica swords. These swords come with a leather scabbard and are made from high-quality steel with excellent hardness, making them suitable for intensive training.
Oakeshott Type XIII swords were often carried by knights and crusaders and serve as an excellent example of the transition from classic knightly swords to later designs more focused on thrusting techniques.
This sword features a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather and a brown leather grip. The edge is 1.5 mm thick, and the blade is tempered and crafted from EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC, while the edge reaches 50 HRC. Thanks to these two different hardness levels, the sword is both flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a perfect fusion of expert craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
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.
