Description
Circa 1350
This sword carries more than the weight of steel; it bears the spirit of the knight who wielded it. The wheel pommel, balanced and heavy, works together with the straight crossguard to form the classic Cruciform shape,a design steeped in meaning, reminding the bearer of their sacred vows and the solemn duty to uphold honor and faith. On the pommel, an engraved shield and cross serve as a constant emblem of protection and devotion. The grip, made from wood and wrapped tightly in leather, offers a secure hold that would not falter in the heat of battle. The blade is forged from fully tempered high carbon steel, struck to achieve a balance of strength and agility for one-handed use. This sword was as much a companion in the quiet moments of prayer as in the clash of combat, embodying the knight’s code through both form and function. A scabbard accompanies the blade, designed for safe and ready transport.
