Oakeshott XVI Medieval Sword - The Archduke

A wide blade, balanced by twin fullers, with textured leather grip and burgundy brown leather scabbard. Definitely a stout blade, built for regal intimidation and raw cutting power.

All of our European swords are hand-forged (not stamped or CNC'ed) by the same craftsmen that make our Japanese arms. The fullers are carved and burnished by hand for crisp and accurate lines. Forging allows our smiths to control the cross-sectional geometry to provide the proper stiffness of a cut and thrust blade. European production weaponry gets the craftsmanship it deserves.
