One-Handed Sword Oakeshott XIV, Copper Pommel, Practical Blunt, Class C

This replica features a full tang blade forged out of spring steel, hardened and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-50 HRC. The steel cross guard has bent ends and the leather-wrapped wooden grip is capped with a sturdy disc-shaped copper pommel (or wheel pommel) bearing the Latin inscription Sunt hic etiam sua praecuna laudi, a quotation from Vergil's Aeneid (book 1, line 461) which translates to Here too, virtue has its due reward. The gorgeous scabbard with wooden core is covered in leather and comes complete with a carrying belt wound around it.

The blade's blunt, 2 mm thick edges and rounded tip make this late medieval arming sword ideal for combat reenactment, stage fighting or sparring.

Please note:

Our swords referred to as battle-ready or practical are designed to suit the needs of historical re-enactment / stage fighting and to practice swordplay. The extremely brutal impact of cutting edge against cutting edge (or any other hard object) cannot be considered an appropriate use of these swords and may eventually lead to the breaking of the blade. The warranty we offer in such a case only covers material defects (e.g. hairline cracks in the blade or processing faults). It does not apply to damages resulting from a destructive or inappropriate handling of these swords. Please also bear in mind that a practical sword is basically and essentially an item subject to wear and tear.
