Italian One-Hand-and-a-Half Sword w. scabbard, practical blunt

Italian One-Hand-and-a-Half Sword w. scabbard, practical blunt

Even in late medieval times, sword production was work-sharing manufacturing: the blade originates from a blade-smithy in Passau, South- Germany and was mounted with the typical hilt parts of the Italian fashion of that time. Typologically this sword can be classified as Oakeshott type XVIIIa, maybe type XVIa.

Our blunt reconstruction of this late medieval sword is forged by hands. The guard and the octagonal pommel are made of heat-treated malleable cast iron. The spring steel blade is oil-tempered up to 48-50° Rockwell, forged to the hilt and screwed with the pommel. The wooden gip is leather covered. The blade has got a distinctive fuller measuring approximately one third of the blade length, which offers both flexibility and a lesser weight. The edges of this one-and-a-half-handed medieval sword are blunt and the tip is rounded for safety. The sword comes with a nice leather-wrapped wooden scabbard.

This is the practical blunt version of this sword. The same sword is also available in the regular version (product no. 0116341918).
