This sword is an Oakeshott Type X with a Type I pommel and a Type VII crossguard. The long and wide fuller on this blade lightens the overall sword and makes it possible to deliver fast and shearing cuts capable of cutting through the mail and padding that were worn during the period. The long guard offers good protection from an opponents shield or blade while the classic wheel pommel brings the sword very nicely into balance. This type of sword was in service for a long period of time throughout all of Europe. This sword features full tang construction with a wood and leather wrapped grip.
Made by Windlass.

I found one of these in a magazine at 11 years old and it was THEE sword in my eyes from that time on. This was in 2005 mind you. When I happened across it again on here I couldn’t believe it-same sword being made by Windlass Steelcrafts. Just had to buy it! It’s awesome in the hand. The temper is flawless and it bends nicely over 12 inches out of line and returns to true. It has a few small earmarks of a hand made blade that add to my liking. All in all a classic to have and WELL worth the price.

I have been wanting to collect this sword for years but never got around to it. I am still in love with this sword after many years and am proud to finially get it, the blade is in much better quality condition than i thought it would be for being hand forged and polished, very straight, very clean and symmetrical. Scabbard is in high standard too and fits snuggly. all the metal parts came oiled and wrapped in plastic and was shipped very well protected in air bag belt thingies. Thanks Medieval Collectables!

Bought a couple of these for friends that are new to costuming. They are great “generic” swords that blend well with almost any medieval/fantasy attire. As always, Windlass Steel Crafts quality is superb. Well balanced, quality steel and attractive look.
