Product description

New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA plastic training swords) is this line of high-quality historical sword replicas. These swords come with a leather scabbard and are made from high-quality steel with the right hardness, making them suitable for intensive training.

This sword is based on original Oakeshott Type XIV swords. These swords were very popular between 1270 and 1340, and although they are often depicted in period artwork and on monuments, relatively few examples of these swords have survived. According to Oakeshott's estimate, about 80% of English knight effigies from the period 1290-1330 feature Type XIV swords. Their popularity can likely be attributed to the increasing protection they were required to fight against. In the mid-thirteenth century, many developments in armor appeared on the battlefield. The older swords lost their effectiveness against these innovations, making swords with enhanced thrusting abilities, like the Type XIV, necessary.

This sword has a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather with a brown leather grip. The edge is 1 mm thick. The blade is tempered and made from EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC and the edge has a hardness of 50 HRC. The two different hardness levels make the sword flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
