Swiss Longsword – 44" Stainless Steel
The Swiss Longsword reflects the type of two-handed sword carried by professional infantry during the late medieval period, particularly among forces associated with the Swiss Confederacy. Swiss soldiers were widely recognized for their discipline and effectiveness, and their arms favored durability, reach, and practical handling over excessive ornamentation.
At 44 inches overall, this longsword falls within the established range for late medieval two-handed swords. The straight, double-edged blade provides reach and authority while remaining balanced for controlled use. Its long profile supports both cutting and thrusting actions typical of European longsword techniques, while the extended grip allows for secure two-handed handling.
The blade is crafted from stainless steel, offering long-term durability and resistance to corrosion. This material choice ensures a clean, polished appearance with minimal maintenance, making the sword well suited for collectors, display, and decorative use where longevity and visual consistency are priorities.
The hilt follows a traditional longsword layout, featuring a straight crossguard and a two-handed grip that emphasizes control and balance. The overall design remains restrained and functional, reflecting the practical nature of the swords carried by professional soldiers rather than ceremonial pieces.
