This longsword from the Knight’s Collection is surprisingly agile for its large and wide 36″ long blade due to its hollow ground cross section which effectively removes unneeded weight whilst keeping a strong central ridge and a keen cutting edge on the blade- it is also well tempered to a 52-54 HRc hardness. It is capable of powerful thrusts and sweeping cuts that will cut tatami and bottles with regularity in skilled hands. Ready for use right out of the box, the sword is a great starting point for a beginner or a good selection for a the enthusiast who wants to hone their cutting skills on an economically priced sword that cuts above its price class. The long grip that is over 9″ in length gives impressive cutting leverage and aids in giving the blade a lively balance of only 2.25″ above the hilt. The guard and pommel are stainless steel and the wood grip is tightly bound in cord and competed with a center steel ring. The full tang of the blade is peened over the pommel for a solid overall construction. Included is a wooden scabbard which is wrapped in stitched faux leather with etched heraldric embellishment and a stainless steel chape. A sword belt and hangers of matched faux leather completes the sword for a full and ready to use package.
