Hand-and-a-Half Sword with Slim Fuller

Hand-and-a-half swords earned their name from their versatile design, allowing use with either one or two hands depending on the situation. These early medieval weapons appeared before the rise of the classic longsword and often featured broader blades, making them more effective for cutting than thrusting.

This model represents that transitional era, featuring a long grip typically used with both hands, paired with a blade true to the hand-and-a-half style.

The blade is forged from 5160 spring steel, a highly durable alloy known for its flexibility and resistance to rust—ideal for both cutting practice and low-maintenance display.

The handle is made of rosewood, wrapped in leather for a secure and comfortable grip. The sword includes a custom leather scabbard for safe storage and presentation.
