Practice Bastard Sword

A reenactment version of our bastard sword. The blade is forged from 5160 high carbon steel, to minimise burrs, and the cross-sectional thickness of the guard has been increased, both to provide adequate strength for reenactment use and to present a safer profile at the ends of the guard. Another innovation is the provision of a full leather scabbard, unlike the rigid scabbards normally supplied with our practical swords - this is designed both to provide an extra margin of safety when combatants fall on the scabbard in combat and also to minimise the need for replacement scabbards. The sword is supplied with the hilt and scabbard in neutral coloured leather to allow customisation to the owner's taste.
