Hand And A Half Bastard Sword

Our sparring swords have a dulled blade, but would otherwise function as a fully effective double edged sword of war.

This practice sword is hand forged from a single piece of 1060 high carbon steel and sharpened using refined techniques producing an excellent quality blade.

The blade is resilient, very strong and the sword as a whole glides through the air with ease. It’s a real pleasure to use and is perfect as a competition or sparring sword.

Note: We can deliver the sword sharp or dull as needed. Please advise us with your order.

Key Features:

• Full tang 1060 high carbon steel blade.
• Dual edged blade (facilitates fast counter attacks).
• Generous hand-and-a-half sword (generates good power and facilitates weapon manoeuvring).
