Product description

This is a reproduction of an early 15th century knightly longsword, believed to have been found in the River Thames before finding its way into the Tower of London Collection. The original hand-and-a-half sword dates to around 1400–1430 and is on display in the Royal Armouries Collection, Object Number IX.16. This is the type of sword English knights would have carried at the Battle of Agincourt.

The stiff, acutely tapered blade ends in a robust but slender point. Use this sword in one or two hands. In combat, grip the blade in half swording to better drive the point into the gaps of an armored opponent, or bring the crossguard and pommel into play for wrestling and striking. The blade has three transitions: from a hollow-ground blunt ricasso next to the guard, to a hexagonal cross-section, and finally to the flattened diamond section point. It's a relatively nimble sword, but with more blade presence than you might expect.

This replica features a hand-forged blade by a skilled blacksmith, made from modern 1080 high-carbon steel — fully tempered and distally tapered for proper weight distribution. The scabbard is built around a wooden core and covered in leather. A brass chape with a traditional cut-out reinforces the tip. At the throat, the leather extends upward and covers part of the guard at the ricasso. Includes a certificate of authenticity and a polishing cloth.
