English hunting, 15th century



The original of this late 15th century English infantry scimitar or sword has been in the collection of the Royal Armouries since 1916 (object number ix.144.). Its exact origins before this time are unknown.



This type of short sword was a popular weapon among hipsters and archers during the Wars of the Roses and early Tudor period. Thousands of this type of sword were used in battles such as Towton, Barnet, Tewkesbury and Bosworth.



This model has a single-edged blade with smooth transitions in cross-section, an ingenious hollow grind and a groove. The elegant blade features a slender yet strong tip and spine that could withstand the rigors of combat against opponents armored with gambesons, chain mail and plate.



The blade of this replica was handcrafted by a skilled blacksmith. It is made of 1080 carbon steel, hardened and tapered distally for optimal weight distribution.



The wooden core scabbard is covered with leather. The tip is reinforced with a brass plate. At the muzzle, the leather covers part of the crossguard.



A certificate of authenticity and cleaning cloth are included.
