Manganese Steel Medieval Bastard Sword

Bastard swords like the Manganese Steel Medieval Bastard Sword are famed for their battlefield versatility and ability to push the boundaries of sword craft. This blade, forged for the modern crusader, is an excellent example of that.

Destined for Your Arsenal

Forged from durable manganese steel, this bastard sword is ready for battle. The manganese steel construction gives this sword a dark, forged finish for added style. You can wield this hand-and-a-half sword with one or both hands, allowing you the advantage of reach and control without sacrificing strength or cutting power.

Starting with the darkened blade, it has a fuller and a distal taper. Fullers remove excess material from the blade without compromising its strength. The distal taper means it’s slightly wider at the forte and gradually narrows into the foible. The forte is the stronger side of the blade closest to the hilt and the foible contains the tip. The stainless steel, cruciform crossguard has an angled chappe in the center. The straightened quillons have a diamond-shaped cross section.

Beneath the crossguard is a black leather-wrapped handle. It accommodates a secure hand-and-a-half grip with embossed rings throughout. This handle tapers slightly toward the pommel, placing the balance and the weight further forward to emphasize the cut. At the bottom, the stainless steel pommel provides a great counterbalance to the design. The wheel-shaped pommel has a raised disk in the middle. The disk has an intricately carved crusader cross for historical detail.

This medieval steel sword comes with a black leather-wrapped scabbard. There is a notch and a felt tab at the throat for accommodating the chappe in the crossguard. For added convenience, there is a sword frog already attached to the top of the scabbard. It can easily attach to your sword belt. Simply slide it on and adjust to your preference. The sword frog is black to match the scabbard and is designed to hold your sword at an angle for historical detail. There is a stainless steel chappe at the bottom that ends in a round finial to ensure the tip doesn’t poke through.
