Sir William Marshal Sword

£125.00

Sir William Marshal was one of England's most famous knights and described by the Archbishop of Canterbury as the "best knight that ever lived". He served 4 kings including Richard the Lionheart and was one of the most powerful men in Europe. By the time of his death in 1219 he was referred to throughout Europe as "The Marshal".

The Sir William Marshal Sword is inspired by the one that he is holding in his tomb effigy at Temple Church, London. It features a hand-forged high carbon steel blade, steel pommel and guard, and a waisted leather grip. It comes complete with a well made leather and wood scabbard with brass belt loops (for attaching to a sword belt). This item has a blunt blade and is manufactured for display only.

Probably Deepeeka's best workReview by Alex

If you're familiar with Deepeeka's swords you probably know the quality isn't usually the best. Well, they've certainly made some amazing improvements with their stage combat line.
The scabbard is surprisingly high quality and holds the blade well. The pommel is peened (a massive improvement on previous Deepeeka blades) albeit slightly underweight. However the sword still feels relatively well balanced, although not perfect when used as a one handed arming sword. With your second hand on the pommel the sword handles beautifully.

The blade itself is a good shape for living history/stage combat/handling, however the point and edge of the blade is not rounded enough to be used safely in reenactment.

All in all an excellent sword for display or handling, and a brilliant price for people looking to get into the hobby. (Posted on 12/08/2022)

The sword resembles an early medieval sword if you don't really care about sir William marshal. It looks and is very accurate, has protective foam in the scabbard, brass rings for the belt mount, very good centre of balance. Fantastic for display, a good all round sword. Recommended highly!!
