$385.00
The Arming Sword - Atrim Design Type XIV by Kingston Arms is the second in a series of performance-oriented swords designed by Angus Trim. This early 13th-century style arming sword features a slightly forward balance, making it quick in the hand and devastating in the cut. The sword's design is based on Oakeshott's Type XIV specification, which was used during the transitional period from mail armor to full plate armor. The sword is optimized for both cutting and thrusting, making it ideal for use with a shield or buckler.
The Type XIV arming sword was popular during the 13th to early 14th centuries, a time when knights and soldiers were transitioning from mail armor to full plate armor. This period required swords that could effectively cut through mail while still being capable of thrusting. Angus Trim, a pioneering sword maker known for his emphasis on harmonic balance, designed this sword to replicate the historical accuracy and performance of the original Type XIV swords. Kingston Arms collaborated with Trim to produce this sword, ensuring that the design, weight, balance, and harmonics were meticulously crafted.
