Tourney Hand &-A-Half Knightly Sword - Blunt SM36040

A powerful and captivating sight on the battlefield, the Tourney Series Medieval Sparring Swords from Kingston Arms offer a close recreation of the famous Oakeshott Type XVIIIa.4 sword from Records of the Medieval Sword, with some liberties taken to make it safe for reenactment and stage use. These swords prove to be the perfect accompaniment for a 14th to mid 15th Century man of war.

Boasting a range of impressive features, the Tourney Series swords set a new standard in this price point of re-enactment weaponry. The blades are forged from 9260 high carbon spring steel, tempered to around 50 Hrc, ensuring a long-lasting and durable sword. The thru-tang handle construction, peened thru-tang stainless steel pommel and guard, and 2mm rounded edge thickness contribute to the brutality of these weapons on the battlefield.

The cord-wrapped leather grip provides an exceptional feel in the hand, with an oval cross-section and slight barrel shape to reduce hand fatigue. The grip is large enough to accommodate armoured hands, adding to the versatility of these swords.

The blades feature a respectable fuller that runs the length, lightening the sword and providing better counter-balance overall. Each sword comes with a wood-core and leather-wrapped scabbard, tipped with a stainless chape, adding to the authenticity and practicality of the set.

The Tourney Series further includes Viking Swords and Single-hand Swords, catering to a wider range of reenactment and historical enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of these swords is the innovative "King-Peen" system used in the guard. This system features a steel tab on the guard, under the grip, that is pinned through the tang of the sword. This process ensures the guard remains secure and tight, even after extended use, without compromising the strength of the hilt.

The pommel is also expertly constructed, being pressed into place and hot peened, resulting in a sword that rings like a bell when struck.

The overall dimensions of the Tourney Series Medieval Sparring Swords are as follows: Overall Length: 41 1/4" Blade Length: 32 3/4" Handle Length: 6" Weight: 3lb 7oz Point of Balance: 4" Point of Harmonics: 21 1/2" Blade Steel: 9260

In conclusion, the Tourney Series Medieval Sparring Swords from Kingston Arms offer a remarkable blend of historical accuracy, innovation, and practical functionality, making them the perfect choice for reenactment enthusiasts and stage performers alike.
