Functional 1566 Steel Great Sword
Designed to break through enemy lines during confrontations, this Kingston Arms greatsword offers a contemporary interpretation of a classic European greatsword. Its long, double-edged blade, combined with its parrying hooks and two-handed grip, makes it a weapon that is as impressive to display as it is effective for cutting and advanced fencing practices.
