Product description
The longsword was often employed as a weapon of war, but also as a means of self-defence in times of peace. In combination with a dagger, it proved an excellent defence against robbers, thieves, infantry, assassins, and even against bands of marauders roaming the land. Its sharp point permitted it to be used as a stabbing weapon, whilst its moderate weight made it easy to handle and carry. This weight also allowed it to be wielded with one hand whilst a dagger was held in the other. When necessary, it could also be used with both hands for a powerful strike. The longsword is a handsome and functional sword, constructed from steel at the pommel and crossguard. The grip is crafted from wood and wrapped in leather and steel wire.
