Ulfberht Viking Sword
An old legend has it that a Nordic smith named Ulfberht developed the first all steel blade. This crucial development achieved near-mythical status among warriors, making this one of the most important swords in the study of medieval weapons. Several of these blades from slightly different time periods exist, some engraved in gratitude and reverence with Ulfberht’s hallowed name.

The stout crossguard is steel and the pommel is of the Brazil nut shape that was quite popular at the time, both with Vikings and the rest of Europe. A beautiful and important sword.

Scarlet Dream Dress
This velveteen dress is done up in majestic, deep wine red with a square Renaissance neckline. A great deal of 100 percent cotton velveteen went into this dress, but the generously cut, floor-length skirt still allows you to move boldly and with grace. The long sleeves open up into a trumpet shape below the elbows and are trimmed with black lace. Black piping creates graceful lines from the neckline to the hem, and the distinctive lacing at the front is also black. You can adjust this lace-up velveteen dress to fit your figure perfectly – with the lace-up front panel and the lacing with modesty panel at the back.

This fine sabre has a 1065 high carbon steel blade with full tang and is well tempered. Grip is black leather wrapped and twisted brass wire. A rare chance to own a unique piece of US wartime history. An authentic replica of the highest calibre. Prior to the Civil War Messrs.

This sword has a cast brass guard, with both CSA and Nashville Plow Works also cast in block letters on the underside of the guard. The pommel and back strap are of one piece and of brass. The scabbard is blackened steel with brass mounts. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

Hispanic Falcata (Kopis)
The Greeks or Etruscans were probably the first to use a falcata, but they were also popular with the tribes that lived on the Iberian peninsula. The unusual shape of our Hispanic falcata makes it ideal for delivering serious cuts, which is why the Romans feared the weapon.

The single-edged blade is curved inward, has two fullers that meet in the middle and echo the shape of the blade, and a wide back. The engraving on the distinctive grip depicts a primitive bird of prey. This falcata includes a scabbard.

Stage Combat Arming Sword
Stage combat swords have to meet different requirements than battle-ready swords do. In order to minimize the risk of injury from cuts and thrusts during stage combat with swords, this one-handed stage combat sword has back edges that are at least 3.5 mm thick everywhere and it even has a rounded point.
Learn More
The thick blade of our one-handed stage combat sword makes it somewhat more top-heavy than a comparable battle-ready sword would be. The grip is ridged in three places and is wrapped in genuine leather for increased control and comfort. Our one-handed stage combat sword has a riveted wheel pommel typical of swords that were made between the 10th and 15th centuries, but the curved crossguard places it firmly in the 14th/15th century. This one-handed stage combat sword includes a scabbard made of genuine leather with a mount and chape.
