This traditionally hand-forged medieval sword is inspired by the Gothic swords wielded by 15th-century European knights. Every detail—from the gently curved crossguard to the iconic wheel pommel—has been faithfully reproduced to evoke the weapons used on battlefields and in tournaments.

Forged from quality carbon steel and polished to a brilliant shine, the broad blade balances cutting presence with a thrusting profile. Its tang and solid weight provide a realistic feel appreciated by enthusiasts. Although unsharpened for safety, the blade retains the authentic silhouette of a battle-ready sword, making it equally attractive for historical displays and costumes.

The included stitched leather scabbard, fitted with an adjustable belt, offers a comfortable and secure way to carry or present your sword. Whether you're preparing for a live-action role-playing game, outfitting your gear for a Renaissance fair, or adding to your medieval weapons collection, this Gothic knight's sword is designed to stand out.

Historical Inspiration: Gothic swords like this one became widespread in the late Middle Ages as armor advanced and warfare evolved. The combination of a sharp blade, flared guard, and pronounced pommel allowed knights to fight effectively against the defenses of chain mail and breastplate.

Important note on use: All swords in this collection are unsharpened and intended for safe, controlled, choreographic combat. They are not intended for live-blade combat or cutting practice. Definitions of "functional sword" may vary; please handle responsibly and adhere to safety guidelines at all times.

This hand-forged Gothic knight's sword brings the spirit of medieval Europe to life, whether hanging on a wall, displaying at events, or using in theatrical performances.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Storage: Store your sword in a dry place to prevent rust. Keep it in its scabbard, but remove it occasionally to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
• Cleaning: After handling, wipe the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and oils.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of mineral oil or sword oil to the blade regularly to protect it from corrosion.
• Leather Care: Treat the scabbard and belt with leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
• Handling: Always handle with care. Although unsharpened, the sword has a solid steel edge that can still cause injury or damage if mishandled.
