Product description
New from Red Dragon (known for their high-quality HEMA plastic training swords) is this line of high-level historical sword replicas. These swords come with a leather scabbard and are crafted from high-quality steel with excellent hardness, making them well-suited to intensive training.
The Oakeshott Type XIII swords were commonly worn by knights and Templars and are an excellent example of the transition between classical knightly swords and later swords that were more focused on thrusting.
The sword features a wooden scabbard wrapped in brown leather with a brown leather grip. The edge is 1.5 mm thick. The blade is tempered and constructed from EN42J spring steel. It has a core hardness of 45 HRC, whilst the edge has a hardness of 50 HRC. The combination of these two different hardness levels renders the sword flexible and less brittle than comparable models. This sword is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and years of HEMA experience.
