Knights Templar Sword (Militaris Templi), Practical Blunt, SK-B

                                  Knights Templar Sword (Militaris Templi) with Sheath

                                           Battle-Ready (Practical Blunt), SK-B

This Templar sword features a hardened spring steel blade which has been tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-50 HRC and bears the engraved inscription MILITARIS TEMPLI on one side and three crosses pattée on the other side. The blade is full-tanged and riveted to the pommel. The distinctive broad fuller extends almost to the blade's point, which not only makes for high flexibility, but also reduces the one-handed knightly sword's weight.

The cross guard is forged out of steel and the leather-wrapped wooden grip is capped with a flat, disc-shaped steel pommel (or wheel pommel) engraved on both sides with a Templar cross motif. The scabbard with wooden core is covered in leather and comes complete with a carrying belt wound around it.

The blade's blunt, 2 mm thick edges and rounded tip makes this arming sword ideal for combat re-enactment, stage fighting or sparring.

Please Note:

Our swords referred to as battle-ready or practical are designed to suit the needs of historical re-enactment / stage fighting and to practice swordplay. The extremely brutal impact of cutting edge against cutting edge (or any other hard object) cannot be considered an appropriate use of these swords and may eventually lead to the breaking of the blade. The warranty we offer in such a case only covers material defects (e.g. hairline cracks in the blade or processing faults). It does not apply to damages resulting from a destructive or inappropriate handling of these swords. Please also bear in mind that a practical sword is basically and essentially an item subject to wear and tear.
