Legacy Arms Irish Hand and Half Sword with Historic Ringed Pommel

Modeled after a late 15th to early 16th century Irish hand-and-a-half sword associated with the Galloglaigh mercenaries, this piece is designed as a fully functional cutting sword with a practical, undecorated presentation. Its clean, workmanlike design emphasizes historical character and everyday usability for collection, display, and controlled training.

Crafted from 5160 high carbon steel, the double-edged straight blade features a diamond cross-section and a pronounced point. The profile does not include a gradual taper, giving the sword a combination of rigidity and flexibility while maintaining a lively, slender appearance. Performance is suited to cutting practice and general test cutting.

Built for either one- or two-handed use, the grip has a wooden core wrapped in smooth leather for a secure, comfortable hold. An authentic Irish ring pommel reinforces the historical style, while the large cruciform crossguard adds visual presence and helps establish a balanced feel in hand.

Graceful in profile yet substantial in construction, this sword is well suited to historical collections, display, and controlled cutting practice. A leather sheath is included for storage and transport.
