Knightly Sword with Five-Lobe Pommel, 13th-14th Century, including Scabbard
A Faithful Replica from the High Middle Ages
This type of sword, often referred to as a "knightly sword," was typical for knights of the High Middle Ages. The design, with its straight crossguard and distinctive pommel, was widespread throughout Europe, especially in Western and Central Europe. The five-lobe (or "fluted") pommel is not just an aesthetic element; it served as a counterbalance to the blade, giving the sword better balance and manoeuvrability. The long, straight, double-edged blade was designed for both powerful cuts and precise thrusts.
Although these swords were primarily deadly weapons in battle, they often also represented the status of their owner. Today, this sword is the ideal choice for anyone wishing to portray a knight at historical festivals, LARP events, or as an impressive decorative piece for your collection.

Caring for Your New Sword
To ensure you enjoy this sword for as long as possible, it needs proper care. The carbon steel blade is susceptible to rust.
- Wipe the blade with a dry cloth after each use (even after just handling it).
- Regularly coat it with a thin layer of oil (e.g., WD-40 or a specialised gun/blade conservation oil).
- Store the sword in a dry place. Do not leave it in the leather scabbard for long periods, as it can retain moisture.
- The blade is not intended for chopping hard objects (wood, bones) or for contact fencing. Doing so could damage or break it.
Complete Your Knightly Look
A perfect knightly costume includes not only a sword but also the means to carry it. We recommend getting a quality leather belt (e.g., SKU 19211 or 19006) and a suitable sword frog (SKU 23156, 23157, or 12025) so your sword hangs at your hip just as it should. Don't forget a period-appropriate tunic or surcoat to perfect your appearance.
