The medieval swords listed on this page are accurate reproductions from originals forged by CAS / Hawei Forge. Each sword is fully functional, battle ready and features a live, sharp edge for cutting practice. The blades are forged out of high carbon steel and heat tread in the traditional european metheod.

     Our single-hand Marshall Sword sets new standards of quality and authenticity in broadsword construction. The sword is based on an original, now in a British museum, used by one of England’s finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served the crown faithfully under Henry II, Richard the Lionheart and Jack Lackland. The Marshall Sword is available with either a forged high-carbon steel blade (SH2000) or a forged - folded Swedish powder steel blade (SH2001). Both blades are identical in handling characteristics and both are tempered to a tough HRC 54. The blade section features a central ridged fuller and full-length distal taper - a tough test for the bladesmith but resulting in a superb combination of speed and strength. The grip is leather wrapped and laced and the guard and pommel are elegant in their functional simplicity. The scabbard is leather-covered with steel mounts. Truly a sword for the connoisseur.
See model SH2046 for the “Practical” version of the Marshall sword.

     Our Hand-and-a-Half Sword is replicated from a sword thought to be that of Albrecht II of Austria and represents the pinnacle of beauty and balance in medieval swords. Classically simple in design with a flattened diamond-section blade and cruciform hilt, the original dates from the early part of the 15th century. The “Lion Rampant” emblem of the Habsburg dynasty is engraved in the pommel, while the Passau “Running Wolf” guild mark and a marigold maker’s mark appear on the blade fuller. Both the grip and the scabbard are leather covered over a cord wrap. The Hand-and-a-Half is now available in an antique patina finish to resemble an old world blade.
