Medieval European Functional Full Tang EN45 High Carbon Steel Knightly Arming Sword with Templar Cross

The Arming sword or “Knightly” sword was a standard military sword used throughout the 10^th-15^th centuries, developing from the 9^th Century Viking sword. The term “Arming Sword” was first used in the 15^th century after these swords ceased to serve as a main weapon and more of a side-sword. This replica arming sword is fully functional with a 31 ½ inch blade constructed of tempered EN45 high carbon steel that has been heat treated and quenched to perfection. The blade is well-balanced and offers a Degree of Flexibility around 30-45°. Though the double-sided blade is factory edged, it can easily be sharpened to your liking. The handle is wrapped in exquisite brown leather for a comfortable feel in your hand.

A blood red Templar cross accents the pommel on either side. This expertly crafted sword is a perfect fit for your arsenal, and comes with a FREE brown genuine leather-wrapped scabbard to house the blade when not in use. Overall Length: 38 inches, Blade Length: 31.5 inches
