Experience the power and elegance of the European Bastard sword, a symbol of medieval and Renaissance warfare. Distinguished by its cruciform hilt, one-handed grip, and straight double-edged blade, this exquisite weapon remains a testament to the valor of yesteryears. This bastard sword, also known as a “longsword” during the late medieval and Renaissance periods, extends 29in in length, complete with a 6in handle, offering optimal balance for its wielder.
Unyielding strength meets graceful design in the blade of this longsword, masterfully crafted from pattern welded Damascus steel. This high carbon steel, specifically 1095 steel, renowned for its superior hardness, undergoes heat treatment and five careful folds, resulting in an astounding 352 layers. This meticulous process provides the blade with a robust edge, while maintaining the flexibility necessary to withstand high impact. The result? A perfect blade for any sword, proudly bearing a Rockwell hardness rating of 55-56 HRC.
The handle, complementing the blade in both functionality and aesthetics, is made from sturdy wood, accented with Damascus steel bolsters. For safekeeping and ease of carrying, the longsword comes complete with a leather sheath.
