Overview
Windlass Battlecry! - Acre Sword - Blemished Grade
The Battlecry! Acre sword has a blade of sharpened and tempered 1065 high carbon steel - the tempering gives the blade a flexing hardness of 50-52 HRC. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from mild steel and the grip is overlaid in supple black leather and inlaid with bands of twisted steel wire. The thick blade tang is given a large peen on the pommel to ensure that the sword is robustly constructed.
The sword blade and hilt fittings are given a battle-worn and antiqued blued finish. This finish resists the onset of rust.
The scabbard is constructed from leather and is fitted with a steel chape and locket - these steel components are given a blued finish to match the sword. The scabbard belt loops are swivel-riveted to the scabbard body. This sword comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
The Acre sword is inspired by the knightly arming swords of the 11th-13th centuries. Often used from horseback, these swords were designed to have good reach coupled with decisive cutting power. The wide blade, which stays wide even to the tip gives the sword great chopping and hacking power. The wide blade fuller helps to reduce the weight of the wide blade without sacrificing any notable durability.
