Covid-19 Update The shipment backlog from our shut down is pretty much caught up and we are essentially back to business as normal. The only exception is that we are not offering in person pick-up yet. We are also seeing some transit time delays with the shipping companies, especially internationally, so please keep that in mind. Otherwise we are working and ready to serve you. |

This Officer’s Courtly Smallsword has a triangular, fullered blade of EN45 high carbon steel. The filigree-embossed hilt is plated nickel over brass. The wooden grip is embellished with braided twists of brass wire. The sword is paired with a wood-core scabbard which has been overlaid in black leather and finished with a plated nickel over brass protective chape and locket. This sword with its triangular cross-section of a blade is optimized specifically for thrusting and quick, first-strike action in a duel. The clamshell guard able protects the hand and especially the finger that can be secured into the ring above the guard - this accomodation for fingering the guard gives the hand much better control of the tip of the blade. Though the sword looks delicate, the thickened and stiffened triangular cross-section makes for a robust blade that can inflict wounds that are deceptively deadly. A stab wound from such a weapon may not look as visually impressive as the sweeping cut from a saber, but vital organs lie mere inches beneath the skin of the torso and a sword such as this could have reached them with ease. A true duelist’s sword, the triangular blade could even grievously wound a foe even should it only strike flesh - triangular stab wounds are very difficult to treat and suture, much more so than standard, thinner stab wounds.
