Mortuary Sword

Used by cavalry during the English Civil War, the name of the mortuary sword derived after the execution of the well loved King Charles I. This Mortuary Sword features a similar ornate design to those used in seventeenth century Europe. This broadsword is crafted from 1065 high carbon steel that is hardened and unsharpened so it is useful in stage combat. A deep fuller near the hilt helps to lighten the blade.

The handle is contoured for a comfortable grip as this sword flows swiftly through the air. A black scabbard with steel mountings comes with the sword that is designed to prevent corrosion of the blade.
