48" Practical Longsword & ScabbardBlunt (Re-enactment, Stage Combat, Training)Historically Accurate Oakeshott XVII*, Late 14th to Mid 15th CFullered Blade, Wheel Pommel with Embossed Cross ⚔️ 4/23/23 sold out. Added $1,000 to price so that eBay won't delete the listing, purchase history and watchers until I can get them back in stock. Hopefully soon ⚔️ 6/3/23 field tested, not intended for steel fighting. Still working on this listing but photos are mine & stats are accurate to best of my ability. I only ordered one each of the two styles available for evaluation (see eBay item for the 40" knightly Crusader sword) but initial impressions are good, especially at this price point. The Hanwei, Kingston Arms and Tinker swords are about 2.5 to 3 times more expensive and I'm hoping to find a reasonably priced alternative, even if not intended for such demanding applications as steel fighting. The sword is substantial and appears well made. The manufacturer advertises it as 'combat ready' but in my Adria group that would mean full contact with steel blades and armored opponents and I'm skeptical, but only time will tell. Full tang (encapsulated, as are most Medieval swords), think edges and rounded tip for safe sparring, thick blade with very good spring to it. Any questions please ask. Shipping may be high, especially cross country, but if you chose UPS I can usually refund 25-30% I'm a re-enactor, active in local groups and Renaissance Fair. I sell what I own and can recommend. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence. Plus I ship fast!

A versatile blade type that was good at both cutting and thrusting, though probably slightly more efficient at the latter, and very effective against armored opponents. Used primarily in the early 14th Century at the height of the Medieval arms race of swords vs armor. 1065 Carbon Steel - With its simple composition, the 1065 is not considered as a super steel. It doesn’t contain high levels of specific elements that make other steel grades more special and expensive. Instead, it’s more of a basic steel that is meant to get the job done without too much fuss. A key characteristic of this metal is the fact that it’s heat treatable. This means that the way it’s tempered will have a huge impact on the quality and performance of its finished product.
