Oakeshott Type XVI Arming Sword

wide

11-531335
The original sword from France

This 14th century sword is inspired by a sword in France.  I have not documented the original, so this sword is based solely on my interpretation of the original.  It features a forged 80CRV2 blade, mild steel guard, and bronze pommel.  The blade was heat-treated in a PID controlled, high-temperature salt bath. The salt bath allows for a very precise control of the high-treat process.  The guard, pommel, and grip were mounted to the blade using traditional techniques.  The grip color is dark brown.
