Also called a hand and a
half sword due to its
lengthy handle, this
style of sword saw great
popularity in Europe
north of the Alps in the
second half of the 15th
century. This 27-inch
sword blade is quite
versatile and capable of
being wielded either one
handed to allow the
footman the use of the
second hand for a shield
or a second weapon, or
two handed for
tremendous power with
the capacity to rend
chain mail with great
ease. The solid steel
guard gives more than
adequate hand protection
while parrying sword and
axe blows and the wheel
pommel gives the whole
sword a well balanced
feel. Though not as fast
as lighter swords like
the Crecy Short Sword or
the Scottish Sword, what
the Bastard Sword lacks
in speed it makes up for
in shear power. (Leather
Scabbard Included)
