Product description

The blade is crafted from carbon steel with a hardness of HRC 50 – 53, and is fitted with a hard wooden grip covered in black leather. The sword has a total length of 119 cm, a blade of 88.90 cm, and weighs approximately 1 kg. The point of balance is situated approximately 8 cm below the cross-guard.
This sword is an Oakeshott type XVIIIa.
