This hand-forged Norman longsword is a faithful representation of the swords carried by Norman knights during the Early Middle Ages. Forged from sturdy high-carbon steel, the sword features a broad, straight Type XI blade that offers the clean lines and sharp point typical of the period. Every detail has been carefully crafted by skilled blacksmiths to reflect traditional forging methods, from heat treatment to final polishing.

The crossguard is crafted in a classic straight style, offering reliable hand protection while maintaining a sleek silhouette. The disc-shaped pommel is firmly attached to the tang to ensure lasting structural strength, a hallmark of authentic medieval swords.

One of the most notable features of this sword is its leather-wrapped handle, designed to feel solid without being heavy. It offers excellent handling whether you're practicing or displaying it as part of your collection.

This sword comes complete with a premium scabbard, crafted with a sturdy hardwood core wrapped in brown leather and reinforced with polished steel veneer and throat. Multiple adjustable straps allow you to comfortably secure it to a belt for carrying or presentation.

Although the blade is unsharpened for safety, it is fully functional in the sense that it is forged and assembled for actual handling, not merely a decorative wall mount. It is suitable for controlled training, stage combat, and educational demonstration, although it is not intended for live cutting or test striking.

This Norman longsword with scabbard is an ideal piece for enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone inspired by the heritage of medieval Europe.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Clean and lightly oil the blade after each use to prevent rust.
• Do not use to cut hard targets or strike rigid surfaces.
• Store in a dry environment, avoiding prolonged wrapping
• Periodically check that the knob remains secure.
• Use a leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the scabbard ⭐
