Medieval-Renaissance long sword with ring and sheath with a design inspired by the models used during the XV century. The long, wide, double-edged blade of the medieval sword offered here tapers slightly towards the point. It is forged from EN45 spring steel and has multiple fullers on each side (a main fuller framed by two short ones, a feature common to many Oakeshott Type XX swords). The edges are not sharp and the full tang of the blade is screwed to the pommel. The cruciform hilt sports a generously sized inverted scent stopper pommel and an approx. Slightly curved down cross fender 19cm long with D-shaped stop rings, all made of steel. The handle is made up of a wood core covered in leather and steel: while the first half adjacent to the guard is covered in black leather, the rest of the handle is wrapped in braided steel wire.
This late medieval two-handed knight's sword is complete with a black wood and leather scabbard with steel throat, cape, center band and hinged suspension rings.
This good value two-handed sword is a beautiful example of a late European Middle Ages and early Renaissance longsword. Although not a one-to-one replica of an original historical piece, it displays some of the typical features of two-handed swords wielded by 15th-century Gothic knights in full armour.
This type of ring-hilted longsword differs from others of the same period by its side rings placed on either side of the crosspiece (eventually leading to the development of more complex hilt designs). On medieval battlefields and tournaments, these rings provided much greater protection for the hands without greatly increasing the overall weight of the weapon.
