German longsword

German longsword

This high-quality longsword is ideal for discerning swordsmen and collectors. The modern interpretation of historical models has an expertly hardened blade made of 1060 carbon steel, tempered to spring hardness and offering excellent balance. It has been carefully polished and ground extremely sharp by hand.

The distinctive S-shaped crossguard with parrying ring offers excellent hand protection and is ideal for techniques such as binding, maintaining and winching, which play a central role in German fencing.

The leather-wrapped handle ends in a solid steel pommel, which not only contributes to the perfect balance of the sword, but can also be used as an effective weapon. Thanks to its spiral design, it sits securely in the hand - even when wearing gloves or armoured gauntlets.

The scope of delivery includes a hand-sewn leather sheath with reinforced ribs, an antique-designed steel scabbard and leather straps with brass buckles so that the sword can be worn comfortably on a belt or bandolier.
