Product description
The two-handed sword has been used since the fourteenth century in medieval Europe. It was a weapon of war for fully armored soldiers between 1350 and 1550. From the sixteenth century onwards the weapon remained in use for sporting fights and chivalrous duels. It was possible to use this sword with two hands for extra power behind a thrust.
This sword is a replica of original Oakeshott type XVIIIe swords. This type of swords was used from around the mid-fifteenth century to the beginning of the sixteenth century. Typical for this sword is that the blade starts narrow at the guard and then starts wide again and extends very narrow to the tip. The grip is suitable for one and a half hands and two hands.
This sword is made from a high quality spring steel with a hardness of 50-55 ° Rockwell. It has a wooden grip with steel fittings and a sharp blade and tip.

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.
