Armory Replicas Knights of Malta Hand and A Half Bastard Sword
Description
Expertly crafted from a sword design prominent in medieval Europe and featured
in many battles, this particular sword is named after the Knights of Malta in
honor of the famous Siege of Malta in which 700 Knights Hospitaliers held off
a besieging Ottoman army of 40,000. Bearing Maltese cross engravings on the
pommel and the hilt, this sword is truly befitting such a fine heritage with a
finely constructed mirror polish stainless steel 33.5 inch blade that is
strong enough to strike a strong blow but still capable of quick, shearing
slashes. The leather grip offers a comfortable grip and the sword feels great
in the hand. A great sword to add to any collection, it comes with a FREE
leather sheath. A hand and a half- or bastard- sword is a straight-bladed
sword well known for being lightweight, yet powerful and able to pry open
plate armor. Prized for their versatility, hand and a half swords can be
equally effective wielded either with two hands or with one hand if a warrior
needed to fight using a shield. The bastard name derived from the fact that
the sword styles exact origin was of an unknown nature. Specifications: Mirror
