A pattern‑welded partially fullered 65Mn spring steel blade, a hand‑stitched leather grip, and a richly embossed genuine‑leather scabbard elevate this Type XXa longsword into a masterpiece of late‑medieval design. Fast, powerful and beautifully detailed, it’s a battle‑ready blade worthy of any knight.
This Swordier Type XXa longsword is a refined, battle‑ready tribute to one of the High Middle Ages’ most elegant and effective blade forms. With its partial fuller, double‑ring guard, and pattern‑welded steel, it captures the artistry and martial purpose that defined the knightly weapons of the 14th–16th centuries.
A Blade Born From History
Oakeshott’s Type XXa is celebrated for its long, slender profile made it exceptionally agile in both cut‑and‑thrust combat. Knights favored these swords for their versatility: light enough for swift, controlled movements, yet strong enough to deliver decisive blows. This modern recreation honors that legacy, build with modern sensibilities in mind.
Craftsmanship That Stands Apart
Every element of this longsword reflects Swordier’s commitment to authenticity and performance:
• Pattern‑Welded 65Mn Spring Steel Blade
Sharpened for real use, it’s as functional as it is beautiful. Two small fullers line alongside a central one that extends 2/3rds of the length of the highly detailed, patterned blade.
• Ergonomic Leather‑and wire wrapped Grip
The 9.1‑inch handle is wrapped in hand‑stitched premium leather for the first half and then wire wrapped after the riser to the pommel. The handle is shaped for comfort and secure handling during extended practice or display.
• Double‑Ring Guard & Fishtail Pommel
The ornate guard offers both protection and stylistic flair, while the fishtail pommel provides excellent counterbalance—contributing to the sword’s remarkably lively 2.4‑inch point of balance.
• Genuine Leather, Wood‑Core Scabbard
The scabbard is a standout piece on its own: a wood core wrapped in genuine leather, embossed with intricate floral motifs that echo late‑medieval artistry. It’s fully wearable and crafted to complement the sword’s refined silhouette.
