501510 Bastard Sword
Unleash your inner warrior with this awe-inspiring Broad Sword, a true marvel of medieval design and craftsmanship. Imagine gripping this mighty blade on the fields of Bosworth in 1485, its razor-sharp edge cutting through the clamor of battle as Tudor armies clashed around you. Though it boasts an impressive 44¾” overall length, this sword moves with surprising agility—precisely balanced to deliver powerful, sweeping strikes without weighing you down.
At its heart lies a 34¾” high-carbon steel blade, painstakingly forged to combine legendary durability with a keen, enduring edge. The wide, straight profile promises authority in every swing, whether you’re reenacting historic duels, commanding the crowd at LARP events, or elevating your armor display. There’s nothing quite like the reassuring “thwack” as steel meets steel, and this sword delivers it with gratifying resonance.
Every detail has been treated to evoke centuries of storied battles. The pommel and cross-guard bear a rich, antiqued finish that whispers of darkened forge fires and long-gone smiths. Beneath your hand, a generous 7″ grip—wrapped in sumptuously soft black leather—invites both one- and two-handed techniques, ensuring comfort during extended use. A polished steel separator ring adds a touch of medieval authenticity, while reinforcing the hilt’s structure for precise handling.
Completing the package is a sturdy leather scabbard, ready to protect and display your sword in grand style. Whether standing guard over your study or strapped to your hip for festival revelry, this piece captures the romance and raw power of England’s tumultuous past. We’ve paired modern forging techniques with timeless design, granting you a sword that’s as functional as it is stunning.
Own more than a collectible—own a legacy. This Broad Sword isn’t just a weapon; it’s a bridge to an era of knights, kings, and epic clashes. Seize yours today and carry forward the spirit of those who once fought under banner and blade.
