There are very few swords in the world that are more versatile or effective than the "Hand-and-a-Half" or "Bastard" Sword.
The Hand and a Half Swords formidable 33 1/2" long blade is wide enough to produce amazingly deep shearing cuts, yet still stiff and pointed enough to be astonishingly effective in a thrusting attack. Its long wood-and-leather handle facilitates both one and two handed grips, and it's counter-balancing "scent stopper" pommel makes the sword very lively in-hand while serving as a potent impact weapon in its own right. To safely house the Hand and a Half Swords double edged blade, we have also included a very attractive wood and leather scabbard that is reinforced with a steel throat and chape.
Every one of our Hand-and-a-Half Swords reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials and comes combat sharp and ready for battle!
We are also proud to offer a companion dagger to compliment this exceptional historically significant sword. Made to the same exacting standards as its larger counterpart, the dagger is sharp enough to cut and slice with either of its twin edges, while being sturdy and stiff enough to stab and thrust as well as block, parry and pass an opposing weapon.
