This beautiful reconstruction of a one-handed Saxon sword is based on various preserved - or partially preserved - original examples from the 5th and 6th c. AD (Migration Period).

Shape-wise, this single-handed sword is a classic example of a Germanic, Dark Ages weapon. It features a wooden grip, a short, stout guard, a generously sized pommel, and a broad, straight, double-edged EN45 spring steel blade with a wide, long fuller. The edges are not sharpened, and the blade’s full tang is threaded to the pommel.
Just like many originals from this time period, the pommel is composed of several parts riveted together. The same three-part layout, which consists of an intermediate wooden layer "sandwiched" between two cast brass elements, was used for the guard as well and makes for beautifully contrasting accents.

This decorative, good value sword comes complete with a black wood-and-leather scabbard with a brass throat and chape.

Please note that this sword is not a battle ready weapon. It is designed as a collector’s or decoration/display piece and is not suited for combat reenactment. Besides its quality as a collectible, it is also perfectly suited as a prop, e.g. to complete your costume.
