This hand and a half sword is crafted by Baltimore Knife & Sword specifically for the demands of stage and sport combat. Designed to absorb shock and withstand repeated impacts, it features tempered steel construction and blunt, rebated edges suitable for consistent edge-to-edge contact with other blunted weapons. The blade is forged from medium-carbon alloy steel and heat treated to a working hardness of approximately 48–50 HRC, balancing durability with flexibility for safe, reliable performance. Steel fittings form the guard and pommel, and the sword is assembled with a tang fully through the pommel and peened which is reinforced by welding the pommel and guard directly to the tang. This method creates a notably strong and resilient hilt assembly built to endure the rigors of frequent use. The grip is finished with a tightly spiraled wrap of soft black leather for a sure and comfortable handhold. This sword features a lifetime guarantee from Baltimore Knife & Sword. Should the sword break under normal stage combat use then it will be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer.
