Based on an amalgamation of 1600s originals, this nimble sidesword features a hollow pommel and a slender blade, keeping the weight low and creating a keen forward balance. The result is a sword that springs into action, eager to cut and thrust while maintaining a surprisingly strong presence in the bind.
As part of our Black Ribbon series, it features matte blackened furniture with flat-section bars and hand-carved scalloping to the quillons and diagonal ring. The hollow pommel features hand-carved segmented lines. The oak grip is wrapped in linen thread and oxblood-red kidskin.
Please note: this sword is sold as seen. If you are inspired to create your own design, please contact us to discuss a custom commission.
