Kingston Arms Tourney Hand &-A-Half Knightly Sword – Blunt SM36040
Description
A close recreation of the famous Oakeshott Type XVIIIa.4 sword from Records of
the Medieval Sword with some liberties taken to make it safe for reenactment
and stage use. This sword proves to be a powerful sight on the field of battle
and is a perfect accompinament for a 14th to mid 15th Century man of war. Our
Tourney Series Medieval Sparring Swords from Kingston Arms will set a new
standard in this price point of re-enactment weaponry. Features like thru-tang
handle construction, peened thru-tang stainless steel pommel and guard, 2mm
rounded edge thickness make these brutal weapons on the battle field. The cord
wrapped leather grip feels exceptional in the hand with an oval cross section
and slight barrel shape to keep fatigue at bay. The grip is large enough to
accomodate armoured hands. A respectable fuller runs the length of the blade
to lighten and counter balance the sword overall. A wood core and leather
wrapped scabbard tipped with a stainless chape comes with each sword. Further
Tourney Series models are the Viking Sword and Single-hand Swords. The blade
is forged from 9260 high carbon spring steel and is tempered to about 50 Hrc,
providing a long lasting sword. The guard needs special mention, featuring the
King-Peen system. King-Peen is essentially a steel tab on the guard under the
grip that is pinned through the tang of the sword. This process keeps the
guard from going loose after a lengthy campaign without compromising the
strength of the hilt. The pommel is pressed into place and hot peened. Combine
these two processes and you get a sword that rings like a bell when struck.
