Complex Blade Geometries on Medieval Swords

When people think of medieval and Renaissance swords they typically imagine blades with a simple diamond cross section, maybe with a fuller or three. To be sure, this was a very common blade geometry for centuries, but other shapes were also common and fulfilled important functions.  Today we look at a sixteenth century side sword with a complex hexagonal section that is optimized for cutting unarmored targets. Check out a previous blog post on this sword here:https://www.arms-n-armor.com/blogs/ne... And a link to the product page here:https://www.arms-n-armor.com/collecti... As always, our swords are entirely made by us, by hand, at our shop in Minneapolis, MN. The blades are hand ground of 6150 carbon steel, hardened and tempered to 50-52 Rockwell. All of our products are made to look, feel, and function just like the historical originals on which they are based. For over four decades we have worked with museums, collectors, and scholars around the world to develop a deep understanding of European weapons; knowledge we use to make products that exemplify the finest qualities of the very best historic pieces. When we select historic items to reproduce, being pretty isn't enough, they have to move with grace and beauty, and beg to be used when in the hand. These are pieces that feel as good as they look, and that work as well as they feel. Our mission is to craft items that recreate the look, feel, and function of the best historic originals. -------------------------------------- Nathan Clough, Ph.D. is President of Arms and Armor and a member of the governing board of The Oakeshott Institute.
