Bastard sword Agincourt, sharp

Product description

The Agincourt hand-and-a-half sword is an agile, light, fast and slender weapon. The weight and length make the sword effective enough on its own, but in combination with a buckler or shield it is even more dangerous. Originally, swords like this were used by English longbowmen and knights during the Battle of Agincourt (1415). The agility and versatility of this hand-and-a-half sword combined with utility make it a great combat sword, and suitable for cutting tests. With a blued patina of 1065 carbon steel, it is well protected against rust and stains that are so common from exposure to the elements. It has an extra wide tang and is tempered to a hardness of approx. 50 HRC.

The Battlecry line of historical swords, daggers and axes was designed in collaboration with John Clements. John has unsurpassed knowledge of historical fencing and medieval and Renaissance fighting methods. All items are hand-forged by the forgery of Windlass Steelcrafts of high quality 1065 tempered carbon steel and are strong and resilient. The swords have an extra wide full tang and all weapons are sharp and suitable for cutting tests.

Each model has been put through rigorous physical testing to exceed industry standards. These battle tested weapons have a patinated finish which makes them look even more authentic and historical. Each weapon is individually inspected at every step of the manufacturing process, and only after passing the inspection do they receive the blacksmith's mark on the blade. Each weapon is delivered including a certificate, signed by all craftsmen who have worked on the weapon. Also included is a matching scabbard and, if applicable, a swordfrog.
