The backsword encompasses a diverse array of swords, some akin to broadswords and others more similar to sabres. This variability extends to the blade shapes, ranging from curved and pointed, akin to a sabre, to straight and blunt with basket hilts. The defining feature of all backswords is their single-edged blade. Originally popular among infantry for their ease and low cost of production, backswords evolved by the early 17th century to become a common secondary weapon for European cavalry, characterized by straight, slim blades with blunted tips. By the 18th century, this style had become predominant, with variations in weight and length reflecting the range of styles.
Blade Materials Our backsword is crafted from pattern-welded Damascus steel, known for its exceptional hardness and durability. The blade is made by folding 11 pieces of steel five times, resulting in 352 layers. The steel achieves a perfect balance of hardness and durability with a Rockwell hardness rating between 55 and 56 HRC. The high carbon steel used is 1095, the highest content carbon steel typically used in sword making. This meticulous process creates a sword that is resilient enough to maintain a sharp edge and withstand substantial impact. Each sword comes with a leather sheath.
Experience the formidable elegance and historical craftsmanship with our High Carbon Damascus Steel Sword, featuring a sophisticated silver handle and an overall length of 36 inches, making it a prized possession for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
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.
