Product Description
Conquer Your Collection with Authentic Medieval Design.
Step back into the age of chivalry with this 37.5-inch Medieval Hand-and-a-Half Sword (Model 901158). Designed for the collector and enthusiast who appreciates the balance between a one-handed arming sword and a heavy two-hander, this "bastard sword" offers the best of both worlds.
The blade is crafted from spring steel with a classic satin finish, offering the resilience and flexibility historically required of a knight's sidearm. The handle features a distinctive ribbed grip wrapped in genuine black leather, providing superior traction and a comfortable hold whether you are wielding it with one hand or two. Finished with a sleek steel crossguard and a flared scent-stopper pommel, this piece is as striking on display as it is in the hand.

Frequently Asked Question
Q: What is a "Hand-and-a-Half" or "Bastard" sword?
A: This type of sword falls between a standard one-handed arming sword and a large two-handed greatsword. The grip is long enough to accommodate two hands for extra leverage but light enough to be used with a single hand if needed.
Q: Is the blade sharp or dull?
A: This model typically comes with a factory edge, which may be sharp but not razor-honed. It is primarily designed for collection, costume, and display purposes. We recommend caution when handling.
Q: Does it come with a way to carry it?
A: Yes, the sword includes a durable black leather scabbard with a belt loop, allowing you to easily wear it at events or hang it for storage.
