This is a simple battle sword of Norman descent (dating from 800 - 1600 A.D.), a style which was quite popular at the time. It features a full tang construction, and a high carbon double fullered blade that is flexible and strong. Also featured is a high polished straight steel cross guard and pommel to top it off. A leather scabbard is included.

The blade is 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang. We tested it on several 2"x4" standing up and split them with no marring on the blade. We then tested it on a 2"x4" cross ways resting on each side on a solid rest and came straight down. It did not cut all the way through but it did cut deep and again did not mar the blade or edge. We then went to the ultimate test Steel-to-SteelSM. We did 9 good blows, it nicked the blade but did not break the blade not break the tang or handle in either of these test.
