Practical Bastard Sword – Dark Brown

Step into the age of swords, castles, and chivalry wielding the Practical Bastard Sword. Now crafted with a dark brown finish, this blade is excellent for anyone passionate about swords and making a bold statement in their gear.

Medieval History With Excellent Craftsmanship

Inspired by the hand-and-a-half swords of the late medieval period and the Renaissance, this bastard sword brings that heritage to life in your hands. Forged from 5160 high carbon steel, this medieval sword features a safe-to-wield design and a full tang for sparring and reenactment alike. Having a full tang means the metal blade extends into the handle as one piece, giving the weapon strength and balance. High carbon steel means this historical sword replica is forged from a steel and chromium alloy that blends strength with flexibility, making it tough and able to withstand impacts from other swords.

Starting with the silver blade, it has a blunted edge with a wide fuller down the length. The unsharpened, double-edged blade resembles medieval European longswords and bastard swords. The fuller not only removes excess weight from the blade, it also bolsters the edges to help them withstand blade-on-blade contact better. At the end, the tip of the blade is round for added safety. The blade has a constant gradual taper, meaning both edges remain straight while gradually narrowing to the rounded tip.

Moving down to the hilt, it has a steel crossguard and a steel pommel. On each end, the quillons of the crossguard are designed to bolster the hilt for a safer profile, protecting your grip while staying durable enough to deflect other blades. Both quillons are grooved for intricate detail, curling toward the blade slightly. As for the pommel, it’s peened over the handle. This means the tang is extended into the pommel and hammered over it to lock it in place. This bolsters the pommel, handle, and blade at the same time.

Just underneath the crossguard is a wooden handle wrapped in genuine leather. It boasts a dark brown finish for rustic, yet refined charm. This handle accommodates your hand-and-a-half grip, meaning you can wield it with one or both hands. This makes the Practical Bastard Sword highly versatile on the battlefield, allowing you to wield it one-handed along with your shield or two-handed like a longsword. The handle is embossed with three rings along the length for added detail, further reinforcing your grip.

This HEMA bastard sword comes with a genuine leather scabbard. The body of the scabbard is all leather, making it safer for sparring and medieval combat. This leather scabbard won’t break or shatter like a wooden one if you fall on it in battle. This scabbard is also dark brown, matching the leather-wrapped hilt. The topmount, also known as the throat, is steel. At the bottom, the endmount has a scalloped border for added detail and ends in a round tip. Please note this scabbard does not come with straps or a sword belt.
