The White Tower Sword from the Knights Collection is hand-forged medieval hand-and-a-half sword crafted to offer functional performance coupled with beautiful lines and elegant styling at an accessible price point. Forged from resilient 1065 high-carbon steel, it balances strength, cutting ability, and resilience—making it well suited for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts seeking a practical and visually commanding sword. Weighing 2 lbs 15 oz with a close point of balance at approximately 2 inches from the guard, the sword offers responsive handling and quick recovery and lends itself well to both one and two handed usage as befitting a proper “bastard” sword. The 40-inch blade provides superior reach and presence and has blade geometry suited for both powerful cuts and controlled thrusts. Heat treatment ensures a durable edge while maintaining the flexibility necessary to withstand impact during cutting practice. The blade’s full length tang extends through the hilt and is secured with a peened pommel, creating a sturdy and reliable construction built for long-term use. The grip measures almost 7 inches in length, providing ample space for secure one- or two-handed handling and improved leverage during strikes. Constructed over a solid core and wrapped in tight cord for a firm hold, the grip offers confident control whether used in practice cutting or display. Included is a wood-core scabbard which is bound in supple faux leather and completed with a metal chape for tip protection. Combining extended reach, agile balance, and durable construction, this hand-forged medieval sword delivers practical performance and historical character, making it an excellent addition to a collection or a capable entry point for those exploring functional European-style swords.
