Widely utilized from the 13th to the 17th centuries, its peak of popularity lay between 1350 and 1550. This particular blade, bearing a full length of 45 inches, is reminiscent of those wielded by knights and warriors of old.SpecificationsBlade: Crafted from high-carbon 1095 steel, renowned for its sharpness retention and impressive hardness of 56-58 HRC.Handle: An elegant combination of wood and Damascus steel bolsters.Overall Length: 45 inches, with a blade length of 37 inches and handle length of 8 inches.Sheath: Handmade from genuine leather, ensuring durability and a classic look.Highlight on 1095 SteelChampioned as one of the premier materials for sword-making, 1095 steel boasts a carbon content of 0.95%. This surpasses the 0.45% found in the more common 1045 steel, delivering a blade that's notably hard. However, 1095's challenge is its natural rigidity which can make it prone to brittleness. To counteract this, our longsword undergoes a clay tempering process. By strategically applying and insulating areas of the blade, except the edge, with clay during quenching, we achieve a blade that's not only sharp but also flexible. The outcome is a sword optimized for both strength and resilience.Quick SummaryLongsword/Bastard Sword: A 45" masterpiece made of high-carbon 1095 steel, enhanced with clay tempering.
