Gothic Two-Handed Sword Krušina with Triple Fuller and Scabbard

Gothic Two-Handed Sword Krušina with Triple Fuller and Scabbard

Premium Construction and Refined Details

This longsword has been engineered with the highest regard for historical accuracy and structural durability. The blade is hand-forged from premium 65Mn spring steel and arrives fully sharpened, making it an excellent tool for target cutting tests (tameshigiri) on soft mediums. The defining characteristic of the blade is the set of three precisely ground parallel fullers. These grooves effectively lighten the blade profile, shifting the point of balance closer to the hand, while maintaining exceptional structural rigidity against bending forces.

The hilt offers ample real estate for a secure, two-handed grip. The anatomically shaped wooden core is divided into two distinct aesthetic zones: the upper section is wrapped in premium brown leather with a rich texture, while the lower section features a fine steel wire wrap, ensuring absolute weapon control even when wearing heavy gauntlets. The straight steel crossguard is adorned with subtle cross-hatched geometric engravings. The solid disc pommel features a contrasting central brass medallion with a fine relief texture, perfectly counterbalancing the long blade.

Historical Legacy and Context

This sword is inspired by the great "War Swords" that dominated European battlefields during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The Oakeshott Type XX blade with multiple fullers was a technological answer by medieval bladesmiths to the ever-improving plate armour – a weapon with extensive reach was required, light enough for fast transitions, yet capable of delivering crushing cleaving blows from horseback. This weapon is crafted in honour of Hynek Krušina of Lichtenburg, a powerful East Bohemian nobleman, feared warrior, and capable tactician during the Hussite Wars. A weapon of this caliber would perfectly suit the hands of such a high-ranking magnate or a commander of elite mercenary forces.

Maintenance, Care, and Safety Guidelines

To ensure this sword serves you reliably for generations and maintains its brilliant appearance, it requires regular care. The spring steel used excels in mechanical performance but is not stainless. After every use or handling, carefully wipe the blade with a dry cloth and apply a thin layer of mineral gun oil (such as Ballistol) or specialized microcrystalline wax. We recommend treating the leather scabbard and grip occasionally with a natural leather balm. Store the sword in a dry environment, ideally outside of the scabbard, to prevent any trapped moisture from causing corrosion.

Important Safety Warning:

This sword is supplied with a fully sharp edge and a functional point. For safety reasons, it is under no circumstances intended for contact historical fencing (HEMA, stage combat), reenactment battles, or any form of sparring against another person! It is designed exclusively for collecting, historical attire (side-carry), form practice, and non-contact cutting tests on soft targets. Exercise extreme caution during handling; there is a serious risk of injury. Use of this weapon is entirely at your own risk.

Recommended Accessories

For an authentic 15th-century experience, we recommend pairing this sword with a sturdy leather sword belt featuring a historical buckle for proper scabbard suspension. To display it safely and prominently in your hall, a wooden tabletop or wall stand and a professional carbon steel maintenance kit are highly recommended additions.
