Product description
This sword is a replica of an original from the second half of the 13th century. The original is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, New York. A comparable original is the sword of Sancho IV of Castile. Swords of this type were made more pointed than their predecessors. This made it easier for them to be used for stabbing in addition to cutting. This sword has a blade of EN45 carbon steel, tempered with a hardness of 50-55 HRC. The tang construction runs through the entire grip and the pommel is peened onto the tang construction. This sword has a wooden grip that is wrapped in leather. It is supplied with a leather scabbard.

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.
