In
the first quarter of the 15th century fully articulated plate armor
started becoming common place on the battle field requiring sword smiths
to evolve the knightly weapon to counter this growing trend. Men of arms
used swords such as this two handed piece through out Europe to great
effect against armored opponents. With a 34-1/2 inch tapered blade
designed to act both as a thrusting tool for penetrating the joints in
plate armor and chain mail, and as a heavy duty hacking tool for
splitting skulls and helms alike. With its long leather wrapped hard
wood handle and heavy steel pommel to counter the lengthy blade this
sword is easily swung with either one or two hands. A no nonsense piece
of battle gear made to get its point across despite the odds, this sword
would be a welcomed piece to any serious armory. (Leather
Scabbard Included)
