Functional 14th Century Arming Sword
Description:
In the quiet halls of the Musée de l'Armée in Paris, an elegant blade rests behind glass—a witness to centuries, once carried by a knight or well-equipped man-at-arms through the chaos of the late Middle Ages. This functional arming sword is born from that legacy. Forged from flexible high-carbon spring steel with a full tang construction, its oiled blade bears a deep fuller that balances thrust with surprisingly fast cuts. The steel cross guard and round pommel are welded directly to that wide tang, creating a nearly indestructible foundation for training and technique. Every detail has been considered—the grip finished in high-quality leather, the blade polished to a fine mirror finish, the distal taper executed with precision. Complete with a richly detailed matching scabbard and integrated leather sword belt, this blade offers the warrior not just a tool, but a connection to the men who stood their ground when the world was won with steel.
