The Medieval Great Sword of War was one of the most powerful sword forms of the High Middle Ages. Larger than the typical single-handed knightly sword, these weapons were built for reach, authority, and devastating cutting power. As battlefield combat evolved during the 13th and 14th centuries, swords with longer grips and broader blades became increasingly important for warriors who needed greater leverage and control.
This 48-inch Medieval Great Sword of War is inspired by the Oakeshott Type XIIIa, a historical sword classification known for its broad blade, long grip, and strong cutting profile. Type XIIIa swords were not delicate thrusting weapons. They were large war swords designed for sweeping cuts, battlefield presence, and two-handed use. This style is often associated with the great swords carried by medieval knights and men-at-arms during the age of mail and transitional armor.
The blade is made from 1095 high carbon steel, a respected blade steel known for its hardness, edge retention, and traditional use in functional swords. Its full tang construction gives the sword strength through the entire handle, creating a solid and substantial feel in hand.
The long two-handed grip provides control and leverage, while the classic medieval profile gives the sword an authentic historical character. A wrapped wood scabbard is included to protect the blade and complete the traditional appearance of the piece.
