The longsword, also known as long sword or long-sword, is a type of European sword characterized by a cruciform hilt with a two handed with a straight double-edged blade.Ā The longsword was prevalent during the late medieval and Renaissance periods (approximately 1350 to 1550), with early and late use reaching the 13th and 17th centuries.Ā The term bastard sword is used to identify the longsword during the late medieval and Renaissance period. The handle is wood wrapped in leather withĀ Damascus steelĀ bolsters.Ā It is finished with a handmade leather sheath.
The sword is made from 1095 steel.Ā 1095 steel is the highest carbon steel commonly used in swords.Ā It has a carbon level of .95% which is one of the highest carbon levels for any type of steel.Ā The most common high carbon swords are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel.Ā 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel.Ā 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC.Ā The problem with 1095 steel is that it isĀ lacks flexibility.Ā Flexibility is critical to sword making so the sword doesn't break on high impact collisions.Ā ToĀ increase the flexibilityĀ ofĀ thisĀ steel, clay tempering is used to soften the steel.Ā Ā The clay is thickly painted on the blade to insulates the parts of theĀ bladeĀ thatĀ weĀ want softened soĀ theyĀ cool more slowly during the quenching process.Ā In this case, the clay is painted everywhere except the edge.Ā Ā This clay tempering process keeps the strong and sharp edge of the blade while allowing the rest of the blade to be more flexible.Ā This process optimizes the strength of the blade and maximizes its sharpness creating an incredible strong blade and sharp edge.
