Overview
12th Century Holy Land Crusading Knight's Stage Combat Sword - Stage Combat Version - Deepeeka
This version of the 12th Century Holy Land sword has thick, blunted edges and a rounded tip to make it suitable for stage combat and its thicker edges are not only for safety, but also to allow the sword to stand up to repetitive blade on blade contact with a level of intensity and longevity that thin-bladed swords cannot match. The well tempered blade is crafted from C60 (similar to 1060) high carbon steel and its crossguard and pommel are of resilient mild steel. The grip is wood with a tight wrap of quality leather and the blade is securely mounted into the hilt with a robust peen over the pommel.
The sword comes with an well crafted and attractive traditional scabbard that is handcrafted from wood and wrapped in stitched high quality vegetable tanned leather to match the sword grip. It has a wooden scabbard slide secured with tight leather banding to allow for the sword to be slung from a baldric or belt.

Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is this sword designed for? Common Question
This is a 12th century Holy Land Crusader-style arming sword built specifically for stage combat. Its blunt edges and rounded tip, combined with thicker blade geometry than a cutting sword, let it hold up to repeated blade-on-blade contact in choreographed performance work.
Q What steel is the blade made from, and how durable is it? Common Question
The blade is C60 high carbon steel, similar to 1060, and is well tempered. That combination of carbon content and heat treatment gives the blade the toughness needed to take repeated impact during stage combat routines.
Q Is this sword full tang? Common Question
Yes, the tang runs the full length of the hilt in the same steel as the blade and is peened directly over the pommel, which is the traditional, durable construction method rather than a bolt-on grip. That peened connection is built to take the repeated shock of blade-on-blade contact in stage work.
Q Is this sword sharp, and is it safe to use in sparring? Common Question
The edges are blunt and the tip is rounded, so this is not a live-edged weapon. That said, a blunt sword is not automatically sparring-safe on its own; this piece is intended for trained stage combat performers working with choreography and appropriate protective gear, not for unstructured sparring.
Q What are the grip and pommel made of? Common Question
The grip is wood under a tight leather wrap, and the pommel and crossguard are mild steel. The photographs show the pommel as a faceted, polished octagonal piece with the peening pin visible at its center.
Q Where does the point of balance sit, and what does that mean for handling? Common Question
The point of balance is 5 1/4" out from the guard, which keeps the weight concentrated close to the hilt. That makes the sword responsive and easy to control through the kind of repeated, controlled strikes used in stage combat choreography.
Q What does the scabbard look like and how is it built? Common Question
The scabbard has a wood core wrapped in stitched, vegetable-tanned leather to match the grip, with a wooden scabbard slide secured by tight leather banding so it can be slung from a belt or baldric. The photographs show banded leather wrapping at intervals along its length and a chape at the tip.
Q How should I care for this sword? Common Question
Wipe the blade down after handling and keep a light coat of oil on it to prevent rust, since it's high carbon steel. The wood grip benefits from an occasional light oiling as well, and the leather-wrapped scabbard is best used for display or transport rather than long-term blade storage, since any scabbard can trap moisture against the steel over time.
