Nowadays, it is popular to find faithful and inexpensive replicas of historical weapons on the market. One such weapon is the Irish ring-knob broadsword, incl. scabbard 0116329200.

This weapon is characterized by a wide blade and a typical ring-knob that is recognizable throughout Ireland.

The blade is made of EN45 spring steel, which is sharpened for about two-thirds of its length. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade is screwed into the pommel. The handle consists of an S-shaped parry bar about 19 cm long, a wooden handle covered with sad leather and a solid ring pommel. The sword is also delivered with a full-length wooden and sad leather cuff and tongue plate and sword circumference band.

The largest part of the blade is approximately 4.5 cm and the centre of weight is located approximately 18 cm in front of the handle. The ring pommel measures approximately 5.5 cm in diameter and 8 mm in height. The weight of the sword without the handle is approximately 1.15 kg.
