Longsword Bosworth, sharp

Product description

Wield the two-handed sword or longsword with both hands — an essential weapon for centuries. Soldiers used swords like these during the War of the Roses in the fifteenth century, and this one is named after the Battle of Bosworth. Two-handed swords excelled at delivering quick, fatal cuts to the enemy and cutting through leather armor. Warriors also valued them for the forceful thrusts they could land with this sword. In short, this is a fast, capable war sword. The ergonomically shaped grip sits comfortably in the hand, helped by its relatively light weight. See for yourself why opponents on the battlefield feared two-handed swords for centuries!

Windlass Steelcrafts developed the Battlecry line of historical swords, daggers, and axes in collaboration with John Clements. John brings unsurpassed knowledge of historical fencing and medieval and Renaissance fighting methods. Skilled smiths hand-forge every item from high-quality 1065 tempered carbon steel, making each piece strong and resilient. The swords feature an extra-wide full tang, and all weapons arrive sharp and ready for cutting tests.

Each model goes through rigorous physical testing to exceed industry standards. These battle-tested weapons carry a patinated finish that makes them look even more authentic and historical. Craftsmen individually inspect each weapon at every step of the manufacturing process. Only after passing inspection does a weapon receive the blacksmith's mark on the blade. Each weapon ships with a certificate signed by all the craftsmen who worked on it. A matching scabbard is also included, and a swordfrog where applicable.
