The Henry V Sword is a faithful replica of the iconic sword used by the legendary English King Henry V, created by Windlass Steelcrafts . Inspired by one of the most beautiful and effective medieval swords, this piece is not only a historical work of art, but also a fully functional weapon, ideal for collectors and reenactors.
History and Design:
- Historical Inspiration: This sword is based on the original that belonged to King Henry V, who led his knights and archers to the historic victory at the Battle of Agincourt . The sword was described by renowned historian Ewart Oakeshott as "one of the most beautiful medieval swords", noting its exceptional balance and elegant design.
- Decorated Pommel: The large, hollow pommel is decorated with gold and red enamel crosses, replicating the design that was added during the king's funeral. Although it appears heavy, the pommel is hollowed out to improve balance and make the sword easier to handle. These features evoke the design of the original, which was found in Westminster Abbey in 1951.
Leaf Features:

- Type XVIII Design: According to Oakeshott's classification, this sword is labeled as Type XVIII, a typical medieval design of swords optimized for quick thrusts and precise attacks.
Balance and Functionality:
- Excellent Balance: Although the pommel appears bulky, its hollow design makes it lightweight, contributing to the sword's excellent balance. It is a short, well-balanced sword, designed to allow for agile and precise movements in combat.
- A Complete and Functional Replica: This sword is not only aesthetically accurate, but also functional. Like the original weapon, it is designed for real combat, but with the historical details intact, making it a perfect piece for display or reenactment.
Holster and Belt Included:
