Pre-Owned – Vision – The Exeter Longsword with Scabbard – Brown – Collaboratively Crafted by Angus Trim and Valiant Armoury

This Pre-Owned Vision Exeter Longsword with Scabbard is in very good condition overall. The blade has light to moderate small scratches and scuffs, mostly concentrated near the base of the blade (likely from contact with scabbard) and then in patches throughout the blade. These don't show up well in the photos but are present and visible when the light hits the blade right. It appears that the blade has been used for a moderate amount of target cutting. Blade is still sharp. All components are still solidly fitted and there is no evidence of loosening or shifting. On the guard and pommel are small spots and small concentrations of light pitting from some light rust which was chemically halted. Also on the guard are some scratches and scuff marks. Scabbard and sword belt are likewise in very good condition with light to moderate cosmetic blemishing from general light wear on leather and also including a small patch of scuffed leather on the tip of a riser on a single side (visible in photo).

The Valiant Armoury X Angus Trim Vision Line is a collaborative effort between famed swordmakers Angus Trim and Valiant Armoury released in limited batches.

Vision creates premium, entirely made in the USA swords that meld Trim’s magnificently optimized performance blades with the hilt design, robust construction and superior leatherwork that is the hallmark of Sonny and Zach Suttles at Valiant Armoury. The final product preserves the ideal blade harmonics and balance needed for each sword to perform to its fullest potential and is a heirloom-tier sword.

The blade of the Exeter Longsword is well suited to swift and decisive cutting and is crafted from 5160 high carbon steel with a spring-tempered hardness of 51-53 HRc. The edge is finished with appleseed edge geometry which gives the edge some mass right behind the edge to impart greater durability to the edge. The hot-peen construction that melds the blade and hilt together at the pommel gives this sword a very strong and lasting hilt construction. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from steel with an antiqued finish and the grip is carved from Poplar and tightly bound in leather to complete the sword.

The matching scabbard for the Exeter is a wood-core scabbard that is wrapped in top-grain leather and paired with a sword belt of thick leather. The chape and other metal fittings are of metal and the buckles are reinforced with steel tongues for durability.
