Knight’s Sidearm – 1095 Steel Medieval War Blade
A weapon of honor, faith, and close combat, the Knight’s Sidearm was an essential companion to the swords and shields of medieval warriors. This 20-inch blade, forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, is inspired by the secondary weapons carried by knights during the Crusades and the High Middle Ages. Featuring a double-edged design, a finely detailed crossguard, and a leather-wrapped grip, this sidearm was relied upon in close-quarters combat and finishing strikes.
A Blade of the Crusades and Medieval Warfare
Knights and warriors of the 12th–14th centuries carried a sidearm as part of their battlefield arsenal, used when their primary weapon was lost or when fighting in confined spaces. The broad, double-edged blade with a deep central fuller allowed for swift thrusts and precise cuts, making it a crucial tool in one-on-one duels and skirmishes.
The ornate engravings on the crossguard reflect the influence of religious orders such as the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights, whose warriors often bore weapons adorned with Christian symbols and battle inscriptions. The flared pommel ensures balance and control, allowing for effective handling and tactical strikes.
Expertly Forged in 1095 High-Carbon Steel
This Knight’s Sidearm is hand-forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, ensuring exceptional durability and sharpness. The full-tang construction guarantees strength and longevity, making it an excellent addition to any collection of medieval weaponry.
The handle is wrapped in high-quality leather, offering a secure grip for controlled movements, while the hand-forged steel guard and pommel enhance its historical accuracy.
