Norman One Handed Sword, Practical Blunt SK-B
This hand crafted reconstruction of a Norman one handed sword stands in the tradition of this dynamic sword type. Typologically the sword is clearly an Oakeshott Type X, the guard is of type no. 6 and the pommel a type A.
The hand-forged spring-steel blade is oil hardened and well tempered to a Rockwell hardness of approx. 48-50 HRC. It is forged up to the tang and peened with the pommel. The wooden grip is wrapped with leather lacing. The guard is forged from mild-steel. The blade has got a distinctive fuller which offers both flexibility and a lighter weight.
The edges are blunt and the tip is rounded for safety.

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.
