This well-balanced bastard sword features a hardened spring steel blade with a hardness of approximately 48–50 HRC. The tang runs through the entire handle and is riveted to the pommel. A distinctive broad fuller extends almost to the tip of the blade, increasing its flexibility while reducing the overall weight of the sword.
The crossguard is forged from steel. The wooden grip is wrapped in leather and finished with a sturdy disc-shaped steel pommel. The sword also comes with a well-crafted scabbard with a wooden core, covered in leather and fitted with a carrying belt.
The blade has blunt edges and a rounded tip.
