Medieval Knight's Sword with Wheel Pommel

Sword class C, NO WARRANTY!

Authentic Craftsmanship and Construction

This **knight's sword** is designed with historical authenticity in mind. Its long, straight, and double-edged blade is made from **high carbon steel** and features a traditional central fuller on both sides (the fuller is approximately 63.5 cm long), which reduces weight and improves the balance of the weapon. The blade tapers towards the tip but remains robust enough. Thanks to the rounded edge with a thickness of approximately 2.3 mm, the sword is safe for use in light combat.

The simple yet elegant crossguard and wheel pommel are made of **unhardened steel**. The handle consists of the blade's tang sheathed in wood and wrapped in **black leather**, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip. The entire construction is robustly joined by a full tang that is peened at the pommel, guaranteeing strength and longevity.

The sword comes with a **wooden scabbard** covered in black leather. The scabbard is equipped with a functional steel throat and chape, which protect the tip and mouth, and give the whole piece an elegant appearance.

Historical Context and Use

This type of sword with a wheel pommel and straight crossguard corresponds to **Oakeshott Type X** to **XIV** classifications, which were particularly popular in Europe from the 13th to the 15th centuries. They are typical of the late Middle Ages, when they were used by armored knights and as personal weapons for travel. Their simple and functional form was extremely effective in combat, whether for cutting blows against unarmored targets or for thrusting attacks into the weak points of plate armor.

An interesting fact is that the wheel pommel served not only as a counterweight to balance the sword but also as a practical striking tool. In close combat, the pommel could be used to stun an opponent or to break through their armor.

Safety and Maintenance

This sword is certified as Class C for stage combat, meaning it is suitable for **light-contact sparring** and historical training. The blade is tempered for greater durability but is delivered with a blunt edge for safety to prevent injuries.

Although the sword is designed for practical use, it is essential to follow safety guidelines. Never strike hard objects with it, even during training. Before each use, check the firmness of the pommel and handle connection. Also, regularly inspect the blade for cracks or other damage.

To maintain the quality of the sword, regular care is essential. Regularly clean the blade with a dry cloth and then treat it with a thin layer of oil (e.g., WD-40 or special gun oil) to prevent corrosion. Store the sword in a dry environment and do not leave it in the scabbard for extended periods, as moisture can accumulate inside and cause corrosion.
