Medieval Arming Swords

The Knightly Sword is the perfect accompaniment for any costume, whether it be for film, theatre or fancy dress. The non-sharp steel blade is polished and lightly oiled for protection. The guard and pommel are crafted from steel and are separated by a leather covered wood grip. The well-made scabbard is hand crafted from wood and leather.

Although this sword is constructed from high carbon steel and has a full tang, we would not recommend it for use as the blade has not been heat-treated.
