Longsword - 37" High Carbon Damascus Steel
The longsword, also known as the long sword or long-sword, is a traditional European weapon recognized for its cruciform hilt and straight, double-edged blade, designed for two-handed use. Predominantly used during the late medieval and Renaissance periods (circa 1350 to 1550), the longsword’s influence spanned from the 13th to the 17th century. The term "bastard sword" is often applied to the longsword of this era due to its versatility. Typically, longswords range between 33" and 45", but this particular longsword measures 37", offering a well-balanced length for both combat and display. The handle is made of wood, wrapped in premium leather, and reinforced by Damascus steel bolsters, providing both durability and a refined appearance. This longsword comes complete with a handmade leather sheath for stylish protection.
Blade Materials:
This longsword is forged from high carbon Damascus steel, a material renowned for its unique wave-like patterns and exceptional strength. Damascus steel is highly valued in swordsmithing for its hardness and edge retention, combining beauty and performance. The layering process used in creating Damascus steel enhances flexibility, reducing the risk of breakage under heavy impact. This makes the longsword not only a visually striking piece but also a functional and durable weapon.
