Royal Armouries collection 501835 single-edged sword

The Single-Edged Arming Sword is a faithful replica of a 15th century single-edged sword from the Royal Armouries collection (#IX.2638). This sword has exceptional historical significance, having been found near the site of the Battle of Castillon , where over 80 swords were recovered by the River Garonne. This hand-forged replica by Windlass Steelcrafts is an authentic representation of the original sword, notable for its unique design and impeccable balance.

Sword Features:

• Single-Edged Blade: The sword's blade has a single edge with a wedge-shaped cross-section, providing a sharp and precise geometry. Additionally, it features a false edge on the back of the blade near the tip, which improves its cutting ability and precision. The blade is remarkably wide and thin, giving it great agility and an extremely sharp edge.
• Distal Taper for Perfect Balance: The blade has been forged with a distal taper, allowing for proper weight distribution and a nimble feel in the hand. This design not only increases the sword's maneuverability, but also makes it deceptively light in comparison to its size and width.

Guard and Grip Design:

• Cross-Shaped Guard with Curled Tips: The spurs of the cross-shaped guard end in curled tips, a functional design that helps retain and deflect enemy blades during combat.
• Asymmetrical Handle and Scent Stopper Pommel: The asymmetrical handle is offset towards the back edge, improving grip and comfort in the hand. The scent stopper shaped pommel ensures a firm and comfortable hold, optimizing the handling of the sword in combat situations.

Materials and Construction:

• 1080 High Carbon Steel: The sword is forged from 1080 high carbon steel, fully tempered to ensure strength and durability. The tempered steel and distal taper ensure the sword maintains its edge and perfect balance during use.
• Wooden Scabbard with Leather Covering: The sword comes with a scabbard made of a wooden body, covered in leather to protect the blade. The tip of the scabbard is reinforced with a brass ferrule with traditional cutouts, and the leather at the mouth of the scabbard extends into the guard, providing additional protection.
