Hand-and-a-Half Sword

This very affordable piece features authentic hilt styling, with a fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blade, and is made to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today's re-enactment societies. The grip is permanently mounted and the tang is riveted for safety. The blade is fullered for balance and features 1/16" edges and a rounded tip. The scabbard is fabricated in a glass-filled resin, to provide great impact resistance, to eliminate swelling and to minimise blade corrosion problems. The wood grain finish is attractive, but is left unfinished for owner customization. The Practical Hand and Half Sword is based on the Albrecht sword a classic design from the early 15th century and is designed by well-know blacksmith Paul Chen.
