This is the sharp sword that corresponds to the rebated 'Practical series' arming sword. Based on an original carried by Sir William Marshall, who served under England's Henry II, Richard the Lionhearted, and Duke John Lackland. Blade is distally tapered forged high carbon steel tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 52. The blade features a strong central ridge that is fullered for most of the blade's length, making for a very strong but very light and fast moving blade. Both edges are sharpened from tip to guard, and the tip is reinforced for strength in thrusting through the maille armor of the time. The grip is wrapped with braided leather, the guard and pommel are brush finish nickel steel. The scabbard is wood covered leather with steel fittings. A very impressive and well made sword!
