    This 15th Century Hand and a Half Sword is a surprisingly agile sword for its size with a total weight of only about 3 lbs – this ensures the sword is swift on the strike and a fine sword for drills and use. Swords of this type had a steeply angled blade to ensure that they had excellent thrust and puncture potential, but the main cutting portion of the blade is still suitably wide for surprisingly strong cuts which altogether make for a sword that is ready to adapt to the situation. The blade is hand forged from C60 high carbon steel which is a steel with properties similar to 1060 high carbon steel. The guard and pommel are crafted from resilient steel and the wooden grip is tightly bound in high quality leather. The sword blade and tang are durably anchored into the hilt

    The sword is paired with a wood core scabbard which is tightly wrapped in genuine vegetable-tanned leather of high quality with stitched construction. Sword hangers are knotted onto the scabbard with strips of leather and they can be adjusted to fit and angle with a pair of brass screws.

      This is my very first sword, and I am impressed. The quality for cost you’re getting is well worth it if you’re looking for a usable sword on a tight budget.

      Pros:
      I received the sword in January 2024 and have been using it for 8 months as of this review, primarily cutting softer targets light water bottles, milk jugs, and fruit. I used KoA’s sharpening service and the edge is still good. If you hone the edge yourself, I’m certain it’d be even better. The crossguard and pommel haven’t loosened at all (despite me accidentally hitting my wooden cutting stand a few times). The blade feels nimble but doesn’t lack authority when cutting. Also I personally love the simple elegant shape of the sword and the gently upswept quillons.

      Neutral:
      The sword itself is pretty short and has a smaller hilt. I am a short person so it feels great to me, but someone with larger hands may find the grip a bit of a squeeze. The specifications say the pommel is nut constructed, but mine looks like it’s peened? The sword also comes with a free scabbard, which is a plus, but the scabbard is merely serviceable as a storage device. The sword rattles inside it, and the inside will leave wood dust on the blade unless you clean it.

      Cons:
      The blade isn’t perfect, which you would expect at this price range. In-use and from a couple feet away you wouldn’t notice it, but up-close you can see some rippling along the blade. It’s not enough to affect its performance though.

      Stats:
      8cm / 3 ⅛” POB from guard
      1.2kg / 2.6lbs weight
      19cm / 7 ½” guard length
      17cm / 6 ⅝” grip length
      22.5cm / 8 ⅞” functional grip length (top of grip to bottom of pommel)
      83.5cm / 32 ⅝” blade length
      107cm / 42” total length
