Description
Details
The longsword, often called a hand-and-half, saw a great deal of service as a weapon of war, but was also employed a great deal as a civilian weapon of self-defence. Coupled with a dagger, the longsword was an excellent defence against robbers, thieves, footpads, assassins and even some of the robber bands that might roam the countryside. A good serviceable point allowed it to be used for thrusting, and a medium weight allowed it to be used easily and carried with equal ease. This weight also allowed it to be used with one hand with a dagger in the other. But when needed, it could be gripped with both hands for a very powerful cut. This is a beautiful and very functional sword with steel pommel and guard. The grip is wood wrapped with leather and wire. Includes Scabbard.

- Beautiful sword, amazing price, all round excellent serviceReview by Maxwell

This sword is beautiful! I'd read a few reviews calling it a bit whippy and was worried the blade would have too much flex, but as soon as I took it out of the box all my worries were put to rest. I love this sword, having eyed it for months I finally took the plunge and couldn't be happier! Cheers (Posted on 05/10/2023)Quality Price Value
