Ancient Aegean Naue II Sword with Wood Hilt

The Naue II is one of the most recognizable sword types of the ancient world—robust, long-bladed (for its time), and designed for serious warfare. This reproduction captures the classic profile and construction style with a modern twist for reliability: a tempered steel blade paired with a two-piece wooden hilt that’s pinned to the tang for a solid feel in hand.

Included is a tough leather sheath featuring a hand-embossed/tooled pattern and antiqued hanging rings so it can be worn vertically or at an angle with a baldric-style setup (belt not included). The edge is supplied unsharpened, making it a strong choice for educational use, costuming, and safe handling in a collection.

First appearing around 1450 BC, Naue II swords originated in the Bronze Age and spread widely—seen from northern Italy across the Mediterranean, with especially strong association in the Aegean. Early examples were typically cast in bronze, but the form endured and evolved, bridging the transition from bronze to iron. The hallmark construction—organic grip plates riveted or pinned to the tang—helped create a sturdy weapon design that remained relevant for over 700 years.
