Description
As a blacksmith who has spent countless hours at the forge, I can tell you that this Full Tang High Carbon Steel Longsword is built with both purpose and tradition in mind. Measuring 37.9 inches overall without the sheath, the blade itself stretches nearly 30 inches and is forged from high-carbon spring steel. This type of steel, tempered to a hardness of 54-55 HRC, strikes a fine balance between toughness and edge retention,critical for a blade meant to withstand the rigors of combat or rigorous training.
The blade’s satin finish not only protects it from rust but also reveals the subtle beauty of the steel grain. The fuller, treated with black oxide, isn’t just decorative; it lightens the blade while maintaining its strength, much like the medieval smiths intended. At 5.6mm thick, the blade is robust enough for cutting and thrusting without feeling unwieldy.
The handle, about 7.5 inches long, is crafted from hardwood and wrapped in black leather to provide a firm yet comfortable grip. The full tang construction means the blade’s steel runs the entire length of the handle, giving the sword balance and resilience under strain. The steel guard, measuring just over 6 inches, and the antiqued steel pommel are reminiscent of the medieval period, serving both as protection for the hand and as a counterweight for better handling.
This sword comes with a black leather sheath, complete with a snap closure and adjustable shoulder strap. Such a sheath would have been essential for warriors needing to carry their weapon securely yet access it quickly when called to battle or duty. Whether displayed in a hall or used in historical reenactments, this longsword carries the spirit of the forge and the battlefield alike.
