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 make 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 opponent's 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. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts. Can be sharpened
for additional fee.
