Knights Sword - Atrim Design Type XVIII by Kingston Arms
Price:
$385.00
This Type XVIII sword features a classic diamond cross-section blade, characteristic of short swords used by knights and men-at-arms in the 15th century. Its stiff blade and acute point are designed for precise thrusting, capable of finding gaps in armor, while the slow tapering curve allows for effective cutting against unarmored opponents. The sword's exceptional balance and handling are the result of Gus Trim's expertise in harmonic balance, creating a weapon that feels like an extension of the wielder's arm.
The Type XVIII sword is based on Ewart Oakeshott's typology of medieval swords. This particular design represents the culmination of sword evolution during the late medieval period, when armor became increasingly effective and swords needed to adapt. Gus Trim, a pioneer in incorporating harmonic balance into sword design, has brought his decades of experience to create this historically informed, performance-oriented weapon.
