Introducing another masterpiece from Swordier: a highly detailed yet remarkably sturdy, hollow-ground 65mn Spring Steel battle-ready longsword. This Oakeshott Type XVIIIb replica is more than just a sword—it’s a tribute to the martial sophistication of the late Middle Ages.

Type XVIIIb swords, as classified by historian Ewart Oakeshott, are known for their long, slender blades with a reinforced diamond cross-section and acute point. Designed primarily for thrusting, these swords excel in penetrating armor gaps while retaining enough edge presence for effective cuts. Favored by knights and warriors of the 15th century, the XVIIIb is a paragon of precision and reach.

This particular replica showcases Swordier’s dedication to authenticity and quality. The blade is crafted from monotempered, sharpened 65mn Spring Steel and hollow-ground for enhanced stiffness and reduced weight, ensuring it is both battle-ready and resilient. The ergonomic handle, measuring 11.81 inches, is wrapped in hand-stitched premium leather, providing a comfortable and secure grip for extended use.

The ornate yet practical stainless steel ring pommel and complex guard offer excellent hand protection and balance, enhancing control during thrusts and cuts. Accompanied by a wearable wood-core scabbard wrapped in genuine leather, this longsword is ready for display, martial practice, or historical reenactment.
