  • The Christus Imperat Rapier

    2 Review(s)

    A rapier of this identical form and proportions is currently housed in The Royal Armouries (formerly the Tower of London).

    The flamboyantly formed hilt is both beautiful and functional. It’s forward plates are pierced and show lavish birds among foliage, while the bars of the guard are slender both defending the hand and having an upward loop to catch an opponent’s blade. The heavy pommel allows for a more balanced feel for fighting. The blade is etched on both sides of the ricasso with the Latin phrase CHRISTUS IMPERAT which means “Christ Commands.”

    Total Length: 119cm
    Blade Length: 103cm
    Blade Width: 2.5cm

  • Medieval Bastard Sword

    1 Review(s)

    Brought back by popular demand, we are pleased to offer this Windlass Classic bastard sword. This massive broad sword could have easily been used at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, cutting and slashing its way through the Tudor ranks. As large as this sword is, it is still amazingly light and well balanced.

    The wide blade is forged of high carbon steel, while the pommel and cross guard have been antiqued with a darkened, aged finish. The large 7" handle is wrapped in soft black leather with a steel separator ring and can easily accommodate two hands. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

    Total Length: 113cm
    Blade Length: 88.5cm
    Blade Width5.3cm
    Blade Thickness: 0.5cm
    Weight: 1640g
    Grip Length: 16.5cm
    Blade: 1065 High Carbon Steel
    Edge: Blunt
    Pommel: Peened

  • Bosworth Longsword

    5 Review(s)

    A beautifully proportioned weapon with dynamic handling qualities, it is a harmony of mass and dimension. With a long, semi-tapered diamond cross-section fitted to a round ergonomic pommel on a double-handed grip, this is a fine example of the perfection that was achieved in this popular design. Against any opposing arms or armour it was capable of quick deadly cuts as well as accurate and forceful thrusts. Aptly named for the bloody late 15th-century battle during the War of the Roses, the Bosworth is a fast and capable warsword adeptly able to execute the deadly “Mastercut” techniques so closely associated with double-handed blades of the period. With a slim handle that virtually begs to be gripped in the diverse and effective winding actions that this kind of sword ideally allowed, it features a surprisingly small heft for its size.

    This ebony-toned “queen of weapons” is perfectly suited to foot-combat in war, judicial duel or knightly challenge. This is a substantial and graceful weapon that will leave the wielder every confidence it could readily defend life if called upon. Discover with it just why this form of longsword was respected for centuries and celebrated against whatever it encountered.

    Total Length: 120cm
    Blade Length: 92cm
    Blade Width: 4cm
    Weight: 1304g
    Point of Balance: 10cm Below Hilt
    Blade: 1065 High Carbon Steel
    Edge: Sharp
    Pommel: Peened
    Scabbard: Wood, Leather & Steel
