The hilt is simple, with a textured grip that enables a solid hold on the weapon, without any frills or designs that would interfere with a proper hand position. The pommel is cast-brass; a cylindrical form, topped with a spike, that numerous detailed etchings. The guard is also cast-brass, formed into a helmet reminiscent of what one might expect to see a fantastical warrior wearing'not a far stretch, given the wicked horns that adorn the helmet and serve as the guard's crossbar. The blade is equally simple, with a moderately sized fuller and a slightly slant-edged blade that gives the sword a decent point. A content medium between modern style and antiquated function? Yes, the Horned Helmet Sword is just that.
