Steel Sword Replica with Leather-Wrapped Scabbard

Description

This steel sword replica draws inspiration from a legendary hunter known for wielding twin blades against both mortal enemies and otherworldly creatures. Crafted to mirror the form and function of such a weapon, it measures 48.8 inches overall, with a blade forged from stainless steel that has been ground and polished to a smooth finish. The blade features three blood grooves,sometimes called fullers,which lighten the blade without sacrificing strength, a technique used historically to improve balance and reduce weight. The blade spans 35.43 inches, with a width of 1.85 inches and a thickness of 4 millimeters, providing a solid yet agile edge. The handle, 10.6 inches long, is fashioned from wood and wrapped tightly in black waxed cord to ensure a firm grip during combat or display. A 7.87-inch guard offers protection for the hand while also contributing to the sword’s balance and handling characteristics. The accompanying scabbard is made from hardwood, wrapped in black leather for durability and a secure fit, and fitted with polished zinc alloy fittings that echo the craftsmanship seen in traditional armory. A black leather strap is affixed for ease of carrying, reflecting the practical needs of a warrior on the move.

Fun fact: The use of blood grooves in blades, often mistaken as channels to let blood flow out, actually serves to lighten the sword and improve its rigidity,an age-old technique that blacksmiths have employed for centuries to enhance a blade’s performance.
