Product description
The two-handed sword has been in use since the fourteenth century in medieval Europe. Fully armored soldiers carried it as a weapon of war between 1350 and 1550. From the sixteenth century onward, it remained in use for sporting fights and chivalrous duels. Use it with two hands for extra power behind a thrust.
This sword is a replica of original Oakeshott type XVIIIe swords. This sword type was used from around the mid-fifteenth century to the beginning of the sixteenth century. What makes it distinctive: the blade starts narrow at the guard, widens, then tapers to a very narrow tip. The grip accommodates one and a half hands or two hands.
Made from carbon steel with a hardness of 50–55 HRC, it features a wooden grip with steel fittings and a sharp blade and tip.
