Type XVI swords were developed to make good use of an acute thrusting point, while still being dedicated to cutting. A wide base, a deep and well defined fuller and an outer third of the blade that gradually curves to an awl shaped point, makes the Albion Squire Sword into an efficient cut and thrust design. The gradual diminishing of the mass towards the point results in a sword with a very precise and agile point control. The Albion Squire has a hilt that is simple but very subtle in its shape. A straight cross of square section with gently swelling surfaces and trumpeting ends harmonizes well with a pommel of Oakeshott type K: a wheel pommel that is flat and wide with a small central hub. This is a hilt configuration that is typical for the period when this type of sword was at its most popular: 1300-1350.

The Squire Sword features a sharpened high carbon steel blade heat-treated to a fine temper in the Albion Forge Shop. The grip is of stabilized birch, wrapped with cord and covered with the highest grade vegetable-tanned calfskin. The guard and pommel are solid steel.

    Holy wow! Just got my Albion Squire today. I’ve owned MANY different makes and models of swords over the years. This is the finest historical European blade I have ever had the great fortune to get my hands on.
    I won’t go on a long diatribe about empirical measurements or prattle endlessly about nomenclature… instead, I will only say that this sword feels “alive”, as if it has its own soul.
    Absolute work of art.
