Darksword Armory Two-Handed Danish Sword And Scabbard - 5160 High Carbon Steel Blade, Battle-Ready - Length 50”

Product Description

The history of Denmark is filled with tumultuous periods of war and strife, conflicts driven by the same political and religious factors that were widespread throughout Medieval and Post-Medieval Europe. Due to this fairly colorful history, the Danes became known for some distinctive weaponry, of which this Darksword Armory Two-Handed Danish Sword is an example. The unique and defining characteristic of this type of sword is its unusual narrowed ricasso. It features a long, stiff diamond shaped blade with an extremely long handle, making it suitable for cut and thrust swordplay as many other swords were in the later 15th Century. The 39” blade is handcrafted of 5160 high carbon steel dual-tempered to an HRC of 60 at the cutting edge and to 48-50 at the core. Light and well balanced, this two-handed battle-ready sword has excellent cutting and thrusting abilities. Guided and balanced with the decorated globe pommel, the pointed guard can be used as a weapon capable of stabbing under the gorget and helmet, effectively defeating the opponent. Scabbard belt is not included. Item will be shipped with scabbard only.
