Description
Details
Our Red Dragon swords feature high carbon EN42J Spring Steel blades that have been forged and tempered to perform like their historical counterparts. They have a core hardness of 45HRC approx. with an edge hardness of 50HRC approx. The hilts feature authentically styled forged guards and pommels constructed from steel, and wooden grips that are masterfully wrapped in leather cord for an aesthetic yet comfortable finish. They come complete with leather wrapped wooden scabbards and authentically styled integrated leather belts.
Our Red Dragon Combat “Hand and a Half Sword” is designed to replicate a 13th century longsword. The broad blade is designed for slashing and the long point of balance gives this sword a lot of cutting power. The 2mm edge makes this sword useable for HEMA (drilling not sparring) and stage combat. These thick edges make the sword heavier in the hand, but provider a much higher level of durability and safety than 1mm edged blades. The rounded tip adds further safety.

It's the first time i buy a steel blunt sword, i've been sparring with wooden and synthetic swords, but i really liked this sword, it's handling and balance is right for me, the blade flexibility is very good, not over stiff nor woobly. I recomend this without doubt (Posted on 08/08/2023)Value Quality Price - Excellent value swordReview by Neil

I bought mine at the beginning of he year and have been using it for HEMA practice drills since and held off submitting a review until now. It has held up very well - very little if any notching to the edge of the blade and pommel and handle are still nice and tight, In two handed mode it is very good, the forwards weighting is hardly noticeable. In single handed mode though the forward weight isquite noticeable. I am considering adding weight disks to the pommel to bring the weight back to a more manageable position. Overall a minor issue though - the sword is great value for money. (Posted on 17/08/2019)Quality Price Value - DecentReview by Guy

Got my Red Dragon Hand-and-a-Half Sword recently and it's all round a great purchase.Quality Price Value
My biggest issue with the sword is that the pommel need to be bigger to off set the high point of balance. Otherwise the sword handles fairly well in two hands considering. One handed it does feel heavy on the recovery.
I've been doing Re-enactments for 13 years and this for the money is a great beginners sword.
