Towton Sword, Signature Series Collection by Windlass

The Towton Sword, from the Signature Series Collection by Windlass, pays homage to one of the most significant and bloodiest battles in English history: the Battle of Towton, fought in 1461 during the Wars of the Roses. This imposing sword, manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts®, has been enhanced with an optimized distal taper that makes it faster and more manageable, maintaining its effectiveness in both foot and mounted combat.

Its blade, sharpened and channeled for much of its length, allows for superior speed in movements. With a design that combines flexibility and proper tempering, the sword can be used two-handed when fighting on foot, and its balanced weight makes it an equally effective one-handed weapon when wielded on horseback. The narrow, sharp tip, along with the structure of the grip, provides great versatility on the battlefield.

The sword features an elegant wooden grip wrapped in leather, with a historically authentic wet-wrap design that not only ensures a firm grip but also adds an attractive texture. The scabbard, included with the sword, has a wooden core covered in leather, enhancing its durability and protection.

This design, true to the swords of the era, is a masterpiece for collectors and enthusiasts of medieval history.
