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 sheath and are made from high-quality steel with excellent hardness.

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 artworks and on effigial 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 protections they had to combat. In the mid-13th century, many developments in battlefield armor were made. The older swords began to lose their effectiveness against these innovations, making swords with improved thrusting capabilities, like the Type XIV, necessary. The crossguard of this sword features a leather flap decorated with a cross. This prevented moisture or rain from getting between the sword and the scabbard when it was worn for extended periods.

This sword has a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather with a brown leather grip. The edge is 1.25 mm thick. The blade is tempered and made of EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC and the edge has a hardness of 50 HRC. The combination of the two different hardnesses makes the sword flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a blend of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
