Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA plastic training swords) is this line of high-level replica historical swords. These swords are supplied with a leather scabbard and are crafted from high-quality steel, tempered to a hardness that renders them well-suited to intensive training.
The sword is a replica of a 13th-century historic bastard sword. It sits between a single-handed and a one-and-a-half-handed sword in size. The grip is slightly larger than that of a one-hander, so that when striking hard, a second hand may be placed on the grip for extra strength.
This bastard sword has a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather and a brown leather grip. The edge is 1–2 mm thick. The blade is tempered and constructed from 1075 carbon steel. It has a core with a steel hardness of 45 HRC, whilst the edges carry a hardness of 50 HRC. Owing to these two differing hardnesses, the sword is flexible and less brittle than comparable models. The sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
The sword lends itself best to slashing and is very durable.
