Historical Inspiration
The longsword, also known as the hand-and-a-half sword, was a dominant weapon across Europe from the late 13th to the 17th century. Favored by knights, mercenaries, and duelists, the longsword was prized for its reach, versatility, and balance between cutting and thrusting capabilities. Its prominence in German and Italian martial traditions made it a cornerstone of historical European martial arts (HEMA), with masters like Johannes Liechtenauer and Fiore dei Liberi penning treatises on its use. This sword echoes those traditions with modern craftsmanship and an unexpected surprise—the inclusion of a hidden knife, ideal for utility or close combat scenarios.
