Product description
Looking for a high-quality yet good value sword for combat re-enactment? With this two-handed medieval sword, we offer discerning fencers the ideal weapon - a sturdy yet light, well-balanced battle-ready sword that’s easy on the wallet. The sword features the typical characteristics of a traditional two-handed sword from the European late Middle Ages, and represents, so to speak, an archetype of the late medieval longsword. This classic example of a cut-and-thrust long sword is patterned after the arming swords wielded by 15th century knights. The long, double-edged high carbon steel blade with flattened diamond cross-section sports both a gentle profile and distal taper towards the point. It is full-tanged and riveted to the pommel. The blunt edges are approx. 2.5 mm / 1.5 mm thick, and the tip is rounded to 3,6 mm. The cruciform hilt is composed of a long wooden core grip with brown leather overlay, a straight steel cross guard, and an elongated octagonal scent-stopper pommel, also made of steel, with concave facets and rounded top.
All in all, this two-handed medieval sword combines optimum weight distribution, agility, and secure hold with elegant simplicity. This late medieval knightly sword comes complete with a gorgeous scabbard made of wood and covered with brown leather. The tip is reinforced with a blued steel chape, and at the throat, the leather extends upward and covers part of the guard at the ricasso. The scabbard is also equipped with an adjustable carrying belt (shoulder belt). Of course, this two-hander is not only ideal for combat re-enactment, stage fighting or sparring, but also as a collectible, decoration/display piece or prop, e.g. to complete your costume. Well-thought-out design and top quality at an affordable price - with such a great value for money, there’s no need to hesitate! So order this first-class sword now and see for yourself! The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain the blade on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.Details:

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.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
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.
