Renaissance steel, reborn. Swiss-German lineage, fish-tail pommel, and battlefield elegance—crafted for the elite collector.
Forged in the crucible of Renaissance warfare, this hand and a half sword channels the transitional power of the mid-to-late 1500s—when gunpowder changed the battlefield, and swordsmiths answered with innovation.
Inspired by Swiss and German typology XVIII designs, this weapon reflects the shift from full plate armor to agile combat. Its fish-tail or faceted pommel options evoke the martial artistry of the era, while the antiqued low-carbon steel guard and knuckle protection nod to the rise of complex hilts.
The blade is hand-forged from tempered 5160 carbon steel—sharp, functional, and historically faithful. The grip blends tradition and tactility: leather-wrapped below, wire-wrapped above, offering control and comfort in both single-handed and two-handed use. A custom wood scabbard with premium leather fittings completes the ensemble.
This is not just a sword—it’s a Renaissance statement. Whether displayed, wielded, or worn with the exclusive Kingdom of Arms suspension belt, it belongs in the hands of those who honor legacy and precision.
