I.33 Blunt Type 15 Single Handed Sword

I.33 is Europe’s earliest fight book and it specifically deals with fighting with a sword and buckler and is late 13thC to early 14thC. Our type 15 I.33 swords are designed using those depicted in the manual as inspiration and are specifically designed to work alongside a buckler allowing you to practice drills, combat and techniques from the manual. The sword type with its rectangular and slightly downturned guard and simple faceted wheel pommel dates from the late 13thC, but the type was current until the early to mid 15thC, giving this particular sword style a long life. However as a battlefield blunt exact styling and dating characteristics have already been compromised, so for reenactment purposes this sword is suitable from 1200-1500. The blade edges and tip are rounded. The tip with a radius of approx 10mm (20mm diameter). Edge thickness is approx 2-2.5mm. The blade is 1060 spring steel, hardened to approx 48-50 Rockwell. In the case of this blunt version the scabbard is double layer leather with integral belt and is finished with a bronze chape. To be very clear; this page is detailing and showing a battlefield blunt version suitable for sparring and reenactment. If you want a fully functional sharp sword (not for sparring!) buy the sharp version here.
