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 a high-quality steel, hardened to a level that makes them well-suited to intensive training.
The sword is a replica of a 13th century historical one-and-a-half sword. It falls between a single-handed and a two-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 one-and-a-half-hander has a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather, with a brown leather grip. The edge is 3 mm thick, making the sword well-suited to re-enactment battles and HEMA. The blade is tempered and constructed from 1075 carbon steel. It has a core with a steel hardness of 45 HRC, whilst the edge carries a hardness of 50 HRC. Owing to these two different hardnesses, the sword is flexible and less brittle than comparable models. The sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
It lends itself particularly well to slashing, is durable, and may be employed very intensively for HEMA training.
