Late Medieval One-Handed Sword with Sheath, 14th Century, Royal Armouries
This beautiful single-handed sword is a reproduction of a late medieval one-hander dated around 1310 A.D. The original was classified as a Type XVIIIa according to Oakeshott’s typology and is on display at the Royal Armouries.
This replica features a hardened spring steel blade which was tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 49-51 HRC. It is full-tanged and riveted to the pommel. The steel cross guard has bent ends and the leather-wrapped wooden grip is capped with a sturdy disc-shaped steel pommel (or wheel pommel). The sword’s gorgeous scabbard is crafted from vegetable tanned, dyed leather and comes complete with a carrying belt wound around it.
The blade’s blunt, 2 mm thick edges and rounded tip make this medieval sword ideal for combat reenactment, stage fighting or sparring.
