Embrace a piece of history with the Knightly Arming Sword, a weapon that defined the code of chivalry during the High Middle Ages. Known for its straight double-edged blade and a single-handed grip, the Arming Sword presents a perfect balance of strength and grace, designed for both cutting and thrusting maneuvers on the battlefield.
Our Arming Sword blade is meticulously forged from Pattern-welded Damascus steel, a process involving intricate heat-treating and folding of carbon steel. The sword boasts 11 pieces of steel, folded five times, creating a durable and layered structure of 352 unique layers. This formidable arrangement results in an impressively tough blade that is also strikingly beautiful, akin to the medieval knights it represents.
The sword's hardness is unrivaled, scoring between 55 and 56 on the Rockwell hardness scale, indicating an exceptional degree of durability and edge retention. This resilience is provided by the high carbon Damascus steel, specifically the 1095 variant, which is known for its superior carbon content, the highest used in sword craftsmanship. This blend delivers a sword that holds a keen edge and exhibits the strength and flexibility necessary to endure powerful blows.
The handle of the sword, constructed from traditionally styled wood, offers a comfortable and firm grip, harmonizing with the striking Damascus steel blade. Each Arming Sword is accompanied by a well-crafted leather sheath for safe storage and transport.
