Description

Crossed sword with octagonal knob, s. Xiii.
Crossed sword with octagonal knob, s. Xiii.
Reproduction of a sword of a high medieval hand, as it was carried, for example, crossed of various orders during the Holy Crusades. The appeal of this sword lies in its octagonal knob, which differs from the more widespread disc-shaped knob.
This sword is made exclusively by hand. The beautifully shaped protector and octagonal knob are made of thermally treated malleable cast iron. The oil-tempered spring steel blade is hand-riveted to the knob. The handle has leather straps. The blade has a distinctive fuller that offers great flexibility and lower weight. The edges of the blade are not sharp.
The beautiful wooden sheath is lined in leather and features a wooden belt loop (maximum belt width 5 cm), as well as a layer of steel.
