Longsword Description

The longsword, also known as the long sword or long-sword, is a traditional European weapon recognized for its cruciform hilt and straight, double-edged blade, designed for two-handed use. Predominantly used during the late medieval and Renaissance periods (circa 1350 to 1550), the longsword’s influence spanned from the 13th to the 17th century. The term "bastard sword" is often applied to the longsword of this era due to its versatility. Typically, longswords range between 33" and 45", but this particular longsword stands out with an impressive total length of 60". The handle is made of wood, wrapped in premium leather, and reinforced by Damascus steel bolsters, providing both durability and a refined appearance. This longsword comes complete with a handmade leather sheath for stylish protection.

Blade Materials

This longsword is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, a material known for its superior hardness and excellent edge retention. With a carbon content of 0.95%, 1095 steel ranks among the highest carbon steels used in swordsmithing, offering much greater hardness compared to the more common 1045 steel, which contains only 0.45% carbon. While 1095 steel is famed for its sharpness, its rigidity can make it vulnerable to breakage under high impact. To combat this, a traditional clay tempering process is used to enhance flexibility. Thick layers of clay are applied to the blade, except along the edge, insulating the parts intended to remain softer during the quenching process. This method creates a strong, razor-sharp edge while ensuring the rest of the blade is flexible enough to endure rigorous use, making this longsword both resilient and lethal.
