Broadsword – Medieval Hand-and-a-Half Sword – 38" 1095 Steel
type: Product
description: Straightforward, substantial, and unmistakably medieval, this 38-inch broadsword favors practical lines over elaborate decoration. Its straight, double-edged blade is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel, fully heat-treated, and ships with a sharpened edge. A steel cruciform guard, black leather-wrapped extended grip, and rounded metal pommel complete the design, and a fitted leather sheath is included.

This blade receives that proper heat treatment. After shaping, it is brought up to critical temperature and quenched — rapidly cooled to lock the steel into a hardened state. Quenching alone leaves high-carbon steel hard but brittle, so the blade is then tempered, a controlled reheating that relieves internal stress and trades a small amount of hardness for the toughness and resilience a sword blade needs. The result is a blade hard enough to take and hold a sharpened edge, with enough spring to stand up to handling. The edge comes sharpened from our shop. This is a functional high-carbon blade, not a blunt display piece, and it should be handled and stored with the same respect you would give any sharpened tool. Unlike stainless steel, 1095 steel requires regular care. The blade should be wiped clean after handling and prote…
