Product description
A beautiful replica sword, made after historical swords from the sixteenth century. This late medieval-Renaissance sword was used by the Knights of St John during the Siege of Malta in 1565. The Knights of St John defeated the Ottomans. This knight's sword is based on the swords used by the Knighthood of St John during this period. A cross can be seen on the pommel: the symbol of the Knighthood. The Order of St John, also known as Knight Hospitallers, had been located in Malta since 1530. That is why they are also called Maltese Order. This sword is made of 1085 carbon steel with a hardness of 52 HRC. The edge is semi-sharp. You can use it as a decorative sword with a costume or for your sword collection, but you can also blunten the blade to use it for sword training and reenactment battles. It is delivered including a sword scabbard with steel belt loops, so you can wear it on your belt

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.
