Individual Sword Parameters – Your Requirements, Our Execution!

We want your sword to perfectly meet your needs. That’s why we give you the opportunity to specify your preferred parameters when placing an order. If you have specific requests regarding weight, blade length, balance point, or other details, please indicate them.

After receiving your guidelines, our team will thoroughly analyze the possibilities of fulfilling them and will contact you to confirm whether we can meet your expectations.

Remember that each of our swords is a craftsman's work. The process of making and final finishing is done manually, which gives each piece a unique character. Therefore, the final parameters of the finished sword may differ slightly from those ordered. This is a natural feature of handmade production and attests to the authenticity of your weapon. However, we assure you that we will make every effort to ensure that the sword closely matches your original specifications.

Variant with a Larger, Heavier Head: This option features a more massive head, which results in a slightly greater overall weight of the sword. However, due to the proper weight distribution, this variant provides exceptional balance, making it incredibly dynamic and precise in use. Ideal for those who value realistic sensations and excellent control during fencing.

This variant is easier to maneuver and less taxing, which can be crucial during prolonged training sessions or performances. An excellent choice for those seeking agility and less fatigue.

Early Medieval Sword with Peterson Type C Pommel – A Reliable Weapon for Warriors!

Step into the world of early medieval warriors with our faithful reproduction of a sword featuring a characteristic pommel classified as Peterson Type C. This solid and functional weapon, primarily dated to the 9th century, has been created for history enthusiasts and reenactors seeking an authentic and effective weapon for training, demonstrations, and safe duels.

Authenticity and Ergonomics in One:

Our sword stands out for its solid craftsmanship and attention to detail, in accordance with historical patterns. The long, straight blade (often classified as Type X in Oakeshott's typology), combined with a simple crossguard and an extremely functional Type C pommel, provides excellent balance and control. This pommel, with its characteristic diamond or flattened prism shape, is ergonomically designed not to injure or irritate the wrist during intense fights and maneuvers. Its flat sides and gently rounded edges ensure that the sword fits comfortably in the hand, minimizing the risk of abrasions and increasing user comfort.

Origin and Discoveries:

Swords with Type C pommels (Peterson) are a significant element of the early medieval weapon catalog, although they are less commonly found than, for example, Type H. Their occurrence is mainly concentrated in the 9th century, making them a valuable testament to the evolution of weaponry during this period. They have been found across a wide area of Europe, including Scandinavia, the British Isles, Germany, and Eastern Europe. Although they are not as numerous as some other types, their presence in archaeological finds confirms their role as a reliable weapon in the hands of contemporary warriors. They are often examples of solid, utilitarian construction, indicative of their combat purpose.

Ideal for Reenactments and Duels:

This sword has been designed with durability and safety in mind, making it an excellent choice for reenactors wishing to recreate battles from the early Middle Ages. Its ergonomic design makes it suitable for controlled duels, providing both authentic experience and the necessary comfort of use. With it, your historical recreations will gain even greater realism and allow you to focus on the dynamics of the fight without worrying about discomfort.

Exceptional Quality of Materials – A Guarantee of Durability and Safety!

At the heart of each of our swords lies carefully selected steel and a precise hardening process, which together ensure unmatched quality and safety of use. Our swords are made from high-quality 50HF steel, which is valued in the industry for its excellent mechanical properties.

Each blade is precisely hardened to an optimal hardness of 48 HRC (on the Rockwell scale). This is the result of years of experience and testing. Over the years, we have experimented with various combinations of steel and hardness, searching for the ideal balance. We believe that the combination of 50HF steel with a hardness of 48 HRC is the golden mean that makes our swords exceptionally functional:

  • Flexibility and Resistance to Deformation: Thanks to this combination, the sword is appropriately flexible, allowing it to absorb impacts and vibrations during combat. Most importantly, despite this flexibility, it does not undergo permanent deformation, returning to its original shape.

  • Optimal Hardness without Brittleness: The blade is hard enough to maintain its edge and withstand intense use, yet it is not brittle. This minimizes the risk of the sword breaking during dynamic duels, which is crucial for your safety.
