A Classic Type XXa, Executed With Style
Oakeshott’s Type XXa is known for its long, slender blade optimized for both cutting and thrusting. This modern recreation preserves that historical silhouette while elevating the aesthetics through ornate detailing and exceptional finishing work.
Craftsmanship That Exceeds Expectations
Every component has been designed to impress:
• Monotempered 65Mn Spring Steel Blade
The 35.4‑inch blade is clean, resilient, and built for real handling. With a distal taper from 6.5 mm at the guard to 4 mm at the tip, it delivers a balanced blend of strength, agility, and cutting authority.
• Extended 11‑Inch Leather‑Wrapped Grip
The longer handle provides excellent leverage for two‑handed techniques, wrapped in hand‑stitched leather for comfort and secure control.
• Engraved Fishtail Pommel & Ornate Guard
The steel fittings are richly engraved, giving the sword a noble, high‑value appearance. The fishtail pommel provides counterbalance, while the guard’s engraved detailing adds both protection and visual sophistication.
• Premium Leather Scabbard With Colored Embossing
The wood‑core scabbard is wrapped in genuine leather and decorated with intricate, colored floral embossing—an eye‑catching detail rarely seen at this price point. It elevates the entire presentation, making the sword look like a bespoke commission.
• Responsive Handling
With a point of balance at 4.7 inches from the guard and a total weight of 3.59 lbs, the sword moves with surprising quickness - lively, controlled, and satisfying in motion.
