Saxon Sword with Scabbard

Enjoy Saxon Sword With Scabbard

Saxon sword with scabbard



Several preserved (or partially preserved) original examples from the 5th - 6th centuries AD (migration period) served as models for this beautiful reconstruction of a Saxon one-handed sword.



In terms of its design, this one-handed sword is a classic example of a Germanic weapon from the early Middle Ages.

It has a wooden handle, a short, strong guard, a generous pommel and a wide, straight, double-edged blade made of EN45 spring steel with a wide, long inlay. The cutting edges are not sharpened and the continuous blade tang is screwed into the end of the handle.
As with many originals from this period, the pommel here is composed of several parts riveted together. The guard features the same three-part construction, consisting of a wooden middle layer between two cast brass elements, providing beautiful contrasting accents.



This decorative and economical one-handed sword comes with a black leather/wood scabbard with brass mouthpiece and cap.



This sword is designed as a collector's item or decorative object and is also ideal as an accessory, for example to complete your costume.
