15th Century Battle of Nicopolis Longsword

Taking the 15th Century Battle of Nicopolis Longsword into battle, you await the onslaught of the enemy and the victory beyond. Made from C60 high-carbon steel, this functional arming sword takes its name and design inspiration from a 1396 battle involving a Crusader army and the Ottomans.

This medieval knight sword features a double-edged, unsharpened blade. It has a central ridge down half of its length with a pair of fullers along the other half. These fullers lighten the blade, making it easier to wield. In addition, the central ridge and a diamond cross-section close to the tip help to reinforce the blade for puncturing and thrusting.

The bastard sword continues with a cruciform crossguard. The quillons thin out at the ends. They are also slightly wider, creating a somewhat bow-shaped design. Cross cutouts adorn the guard.

The hilt continues with a wooden grip. Brown leather covers the grip. The hilt ends with a peened, disk-shaped pommel. Finally, this Crusader sword comes with a wooden scabbard. Brown leather covers the scabbard. It has a steel chape.

You can carry this sword into battle with a sword frog and either a ring belt or buckle belt, sold separately. It is perfect for any medieval knight or fantasy warrior to wield. It is especially ideal for a medieval reenactment.
