Cawood Sword

The Cawood Sword is based on the famous sword held in Yorkshire. Historians have dated the original and its sister sword to the early 12th century. Made from 5160 high-carbon steel, this functional sword features a double-edged blade with a fuller running down its length. The fuller takes up a third of the width of the blade.

Next, the sword continues with a curved crossguard. It curves towards the blade. The hilt has a wrapped grip. Light-brown leather wraps around the grip in a spiral. The hilt ends with a multi-lobed pommel. This almost-ridged design came from Norman interpretations of late Viking swords from a century or two earlier. Both the pommel and guard are steel.

Finally, this sword comes with a wooden scabbard. Light-brown leather covers the scabbard. It has a steel chape and throat. Along its length, there is a ridge and a raised circle in the middle. Near the throat, the scabbard has a loop for hanging the scabbard from a belt, not included. This medieval sword makes a great weapon to wield at a historical reenactment or battle.
