Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA synthetic training swords) is this line of high-level historical replica swords. These swords come with a leather scabbard and are crafted from high-quality steel with excellent hardness, making them well-suited to intensive training.
Oakeshott Type XIII swords were often carried by knights and crusaders and serve as an excellent example of the transition from classic knightly swords to later designs more focused on thrusting techniques.
The sword features a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather and a brown leather grip. The edge is 1.5 mm thick, and the blade is tempered and crafted from EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC, whilst the edge reaches 50 HRC. Thanks to these two different hardness levels, the sword is both flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a particularly fine fusion of expert craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
