Windlass Classic Medieval Mail Cutting Oakeshott

This product is a replica of the European double-edged sword prototype featuring a cruciform guard. Identified as an Oakeshott Type X by Ewart Oakeshott, a leading European double-edged sword researcher, these blades were predominantly waged for hacking and slashing through mail armor, owing to their slightly tapered, broad blades. Typically, they were used in conjunction with a shield in the alternate hand.

This specific sword is crafted from dependable 1065 high carbon steel, renowned for its superior cutting abilities. The handle boasts a simple wooden base beneath a smooth leather grip, accentuated by a steel pommel and a narrowed crossguard for protection. The blade is fitted with a fuller to lighten its weight and is honed, rendering it apt for any cutting practice. This Classic Medieval Sword is the perfect practical item to experience the prowess of the early European knight in action.
