Classic Medieval Long Sword
$221.65
As swords evolved from the Middle Ages to the High and Late Middle Ages, they became longer and stronger. This Classic Medieval Long Sword, for instance, is a perfect example of a Late Middle Age sword, made for use with either one or two hands. Essentially similar to a bastard sword or a hand and a half sword, this weapon was a versatile one that echoed the necessary change in style, as heavier armor needed heavier, more powerful blades. This sword does not disappoint, featuring a diamond shaped cross-section for stiffness and strength, and a powerful point that would have allowed a sword like this to pierce mail, if need-be. The sword-blade is crafted entirely in fine steel, and its edge is left completely unsharpened. The pommel and guard are both made entirely in cast steel as well, and the quillons of the guard are ornately decorated with cross cut-outs at the terminals. The hilt is wrapped in leather, and the large wheel pommel offers a good counter-weight to the blades length. Each version includes a wooden, leather wrapped scabbard. The versatile design and traditional look of this Classic Medieval Long Sword makes it a prime arm for any warrior to wield, as well as a great historic piece to have as a collectible in your home, too.

I knew the minute I had her out of the box and unwrapped, that she would be among my most favored of swords! This sword is the quintessential longsword of the High Middle Ages. It has many of the era’s best longsword elements. The EN45 high-carbon blade tapers from wide at the ricasso, like a broadsword; then sleekly narrows to a wicked point. The cross guard is brushed steel, falling from a high point in the center of the cross guard, the quillons flatten toward the outer edge as they splay out to the softly curved edge. There is a single, simple, cross-shaped, cut out in each quillon. The handle is of the versatile ‘Bastard Sword’ or ‘Hand-and-a-Half’ length. The surprisingly comfortable handle is wood (of two different shapes) and Leather clad in two different fashions; the top half of the handle, nearest the blade, is tightly leather cord wrapped. The bottom half of the handle, towards the pommel, is covered with a single seam sewn piece of leather. The wood of the bottom half of the handle has two raised ridges which encircle the haft a couple of inches apart. These are excellent for a solid, comfortable, grip. Lastly, is the brushed steel disc pommel, with an elevated center ring. Full-tang, of course, appears cold-peened without my glasses on, in a shady room, upon a cursory examination…so I am not 100% certain of that method used; however, the sword is fully peened. That is 100% certain. She’s solid, rugged, with beautiful Gothic design overtones; her classically shaped blade is both elegant and quick; deadly with cut, or with thrust. I am very, very, well pleased with this beautiful, fully functional, very well balanced, comfortable to wield, classical weapon.
I think I shall name her “Annie-Li”, shortened from the Latin; “Animarum Liberius” (Freer of Souls). Kinda’ Goth; it suits her. 5-bloody stars in every way!
