DISCONTINUED/UNAVAILABLE

Original Line, Made in the Philippines

Rarely stocked classics made by Legacy Arms (formerly known as Generation 2/Gen2) - the River Witham is one of their best made, best handling swords and is worth several times the asking price. Closely based on an actual antique.

The original sword was dredged up from the river Witham. This sword can be seen in Ian Peirce's "Swords of the Viking Age" page 77 and includes all the original stats and a picture of the original. You can see from the original stats in the book and the stats on our version on how close we came to the original.

The blade of this sword is hand forged from 5160 carbon steel and selectively tempered for a durable blade with a hard edge and soft shock resistant core. The pommel and cross guard is also solid carbon steel with copper diamond inlays, then highly polished. The handle is wood wrapped in black suede leather. Sword also includes a wood scabbard wrapped in black leather with steel accents at throat and tip.


.. this sword probably handles better than any other Generation 2 sword I've tried. And did I happen to mention...IT'S DOWNRIGHT BEAUTIFUL!

ABOUT LEGACY ARMS
Legacy Arms, formerly known as Generation 2, still leads the way in the affordable sword market creating tough, well made items for the Medieval Sword enthusiast. All blades are selectively tempered 5160 steel with a robust apple-seed edge. The tempering is designed to provide a harder edge and softer, shock resistant core so that the sword will bend or deform rather than break in the heat of combat and is faithful to many historical examples.
 
The hilt construction is typically in steel (passing the magnet test) unless otherwise noted and the grips are leather over wood. The tangs are peened over the pommel the traditional way for maximum overall strength. The fit and finish of these swords from Legacy Arms is quite impressive, and would be at twice the price! Made with pride in the Philippines using anvil, fire and good old muscle power.
