Honor the age of chivalry with this 40" Knightly Sword, a majestic fusion of history and craftsmanship modeled after the renowned Oakeshott Type XVIa design. With roots in the high medieval period, this sword bridges the era of mailed knights and the rise of plate-armored combatants, built for both slashing power and armor-piercing thrusts.
Forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel, the blade boasts a mesmerizing wave-like grain—a visual testament to its layered construction. Combining the sharpness and durability of 1095 high carbon steel with the resilience of layered forging, this sword is both a beautiful showpiece and a formidable weapon.
The sword's gold-toned crossguard and scent-stopper pommel evoke the prestige of the nobility, while the leather-wrapped grip ensures secure handling in combat or ceremonial use.
Oakeshott Type XVIa swords rose to prominence in the 14th century as a knight’s response to evolving armor. With its elongated blade, reinforced point, and classic fuller, this type became favored for its versatility—cutting through lighter armor while maintaining the rigidity needed to thrust into gaps in plate.

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.
