The blade is handforged from high-quality springsteel and heat treated to an approx. hardness of around 48 Rockwell. The blade has got a distinctive fuller which offers both flexibility and a lesser weight. The edges of this medieval sword are blunt and the tip is rounded for safety. Both, pommel and guard are made of riveted sheets of brass, which surround an inner sheet of cow-horn. The hilt is made of wood, brass and horn.

4 star: I really liked this product it is very well made and looks amazing. The blade is nice and strong and flexible and very forward heavy as the pommel isn’t counter weighing it enough (still useable though just some getting used to). The guard and hilt feel strong and comfortable (the edges of the metal guard are a bit sharp and it has a certain way it needs to be held to use it). The sheath is very nice a bit loose and easy to slip out and doesn’t have a strap or anything to attach to but looks great. Would recommend.
