This is a battle ready, mythical longsword based loosely on the Italian longswords of the 13th Century. The 36-inch blade was hand-forged from 5160 spring steel and hand-polished to a satin finish. The guard and pommel were hand-forged from mild steel and displayed hand-inlayed copper designs around the borders. The handle is made from kiln-dried teak wood and the hilt's overall length is 12-inches. Overall, the sword is 48 inches in length. This sword is a one-of-a-kind work of art and someone would be hard-pressed to find its equal.
