There is no questioning where this Type XII Medieval Sword with Scabbard and Belt falls in Oakeshott typology. What really sets this sword apart is the unique combination of blade, guard, and pommel, which together form a truly distinctive weapon. Patterned loosely on the battle swords of the late 13th century, this sword features blade geometry designed to deliver both effective cutting and thrusting while also staying well-balanced and mobile. The sword blade is forged entirely form dual hardened 5160 high carbon steel and features a subtle profile taper. This gives the broad, powerful blade both cutting ability and a sharp tip for thrusting. The fuller helps reduce the blades weight and improves control without decreasing durability. The straight guard provides ideal defense and a secondary striking point for clever wielders, while the brazil nut pommel adds weight to counterbalance the blade. The wooden hilt is wrapped in leather and hides a full -length tang, which is peened to the pommel for added durability. This medieval sword comes with a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard with an attached, interlaced sword belt, perfectly suiting the rugged design of the weapon. If you want a classic and iconic sword to help you dominate the field of battle or durable weapon to take to the training grounds, then you could not ask for a better blade than this Type XII Medieval Sword with Scabbard and Belt.
