12th Century Holy Land Crusading Knight’s Sword – Stage Combat Version
Designed specifically for sport and stage combat, this Crusader sword emphasizes safety and longevity without sacrificing period style. The well-tempered C60 blade is purposefully left blunt with a thick edge and a rounded tip so it can endure repeated blade-on-blade contact. The waisted crossguard and faceted octagonal pommel are forged from resilient mild steel, and the tang is securely peened over the pommel for a robust, rattle-free build. A leather-wrapped wooden grip completes the hilt for a confident hold.
Each sword ships with a traditional scabbard: wood core, hand-stitched vegetable-tanned leather wrap, and a wooden scabbard slide bound with leather so you can suspend it historically from a baldric or belt.
Arming swords of the 12th century accompanied Crusading knights across the Holy Land. Characterized by straight double-edged blades, simple crossguards, and wheel or faceted pommels, these versatile sidearms balanced cut and thrust for battlefield and daily carry alike. This stage-combat reproduction captures that classic form while tailoring the build for modern training and performance use.
