One-handed 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 Single Hand Sword is based on the Marshall Sword, so named for one of Englands finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century, who loyally served the English crown under Henry II, Richard Lionheart and Jack Lackland.
