Backsword Description

The backsword is a versatile weapon that spans various styles and classifications. Often seen as a type of broadsword or sabre, backswords can feature both curved, pointed blades or straight, blunt blades with basket hilts. The defining characteristic of all backswords is their single-edged blade. Initially favored by infantry for their ease and low cost of production, backswords gained prominence in the early 17th century as a secondary weapon for European cavalry. These early versions typically had a straight, slim blade with a blunted tip. By the 18th century, this style had become the standard. The diverse designs of backswords result in a range of weights and lengths.

Blade Materials

Crafted from Pattern welded Damascus steel, this backsword combines the best in hardness and durability. The blade is made from 11 pieces of steel, folded five times to create 352 layers. This high-carbon Damascus steel, specifically using 1095 steel, is renowned for its superior strength and ability to hold a sharp edge. The combination of steel layers ensures the sword can withstand powerful collisions while maintaining flexibility. The handle is made of wood with brass bolsters, providing a firm and comfortable grip. The sword comes with a leather sheath for protection and ease of carrying.

Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.

In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.

Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.

Once an item ships, delivery time depends on the shipping method, carrier, and destination. If you need an item by a specific date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timeline is realistic.

In-stock items with no customizations can be returned free within 30 days, as long as they show no signs of use. Returns are handled through our return center.

Items that have any customization (such as engraving or etching) or that show signs of use cannot be returned. Custom and made-to-order items are produced specifically for your order and are not eligible for return.
