German Two Handed Practice
Sword (Blunt Battle Ready) (History
Lives)
Date circa 1450-1550 AD, German orgin, as illustrated
by several artists and a few examples that survive today such as in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
This is a replica of the practice swords used
by schools of combat in the medieval period, such as the German Marxbrüder.
The design was used very widely and is often seen in the illustrations
depicting fighting techniques in the fechtbuchs (fight manuals) of the
period. This sword is based on these illustrations and some of the few
surviving examples of this type of sword. The hilt furniture is steel,
the grip being hardwood covered in leather. A smooth polished steel finish
is used on the blade and handle parts. The blade is made of 5160 steel
and has a steady taper from hilt to tip.
