Backswords, diverse and versatile, are imbued with a rich history that sparks intrigue. While some may classify them as a type of broadsword, others align them more with the sabre family. The one unifying feature among all backswords is their single-edged blade. These swords found favor among infantrymen, owing to their simplistic design and cost-effective manufacturing process. The cavalry style backsword, which emerged as the preferred variant by the 18th century, was admired for its straight, slender blade, tapered to a non-lethal point. Our backsword is designed in this classic cavalry style.
Crafted from pattern welded Damascus steel, our backsword is a testament to robust engineering. The blade is a product of 11 pieces of steel, folded five times to form a total of 352 layers. The steel is heat-treated and folded carbon steel, providing an ideal balance of hardness and durability, evident in its Rockwell hardness rating of 55 to 56 HRC. The blade is primarily composed of 1095 steel - the highest carbon-content steel utilized in sword-making. The fusion of these steel layers results in a formidable sword, capable of maintaining a razor-sharp edge and withstanding intense impacts - the embodiment of the perfect sword. This backsword comes with a sturdy leather sheath for protection.

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.
