Practical Hand-and-a-Half Sword
| The "Practical" broadswords are all based
on authentically styled sword in collections but they are tailored
to meet the needs of re-enactment and stage combat. These very popular
and affordable weapons feature authentic hilt styling, with fully
tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades. They are designed to withstand
rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of
today's re-enactment societies. The blades are crafted from 1065
high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching
to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against
brittleness. While the blades are substantial, they are fullered
to provide balance and good handling characteristics. They feature
1/16" wide edges and rounded tips for safety. The tangs are also
substantial, with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no
welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel, which both
eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly and provides
a traditional means of tightening a loose hilt. The hardwood grips
are leather-covered. The scabbards are fabricated in glass-filled
resin, to provide great impact resistance, to eliminate swelling
and to minimize blade corrosion problems. The wood-grain finish is
attractive, but most re-enactors will decorate the scabbard to match
their persona. |
