Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA plastic training swords) is this line of high-quality historical sword replicas. These swords come with a leather scabbard and are made from high-quality steel with the right hardness, making them suitable for intensive training.
This sword is based on original Oakeshott Type XIV swords. These swords were very popular between 1270 and 1340, and although they are often depicted in period artwork and on monuments, relatively few examples of these swords have survived. According to Oakeshott's estimate, about 80% of English knight effigies from the period 1290-1330 feature Type XIV swords. Their popularity can likely be attributed to the increasing protection they were required to fight against. In the mid-thirteenth century, many developments in armor appeared on the battlefield. The older swords lost their effectiveness against these innovations, making swords with enhanced thrusting abilities, like the Type XIV, necessary.
This sword has a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather with a brown leather grip. The edge is 1 mm thick. The blade is tempered and made from EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC and the edge has a hardness of 50 HRC. The two different hardness levels make the sword flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
