This versatile, hand-forged arming sword features good blade authority and a dextrous tip, helping you to deliver forceful cuts. Designed for a wielder with larger hands, it has a long grip, capable of accommodating padded gloves.
It features a short, straight hexagonal-section crossguard, and a classic wheel pommel, both of which have an antique finish. The oak grip is bound with linen thread and rich blue kidskin.
It is optimised for ambidextrous use with large-sized hands, i.e. a palm size of approximately 10cm across.
