Bastard Sword

Versatile, elegant, and highly adaptable, the Red Dragon Bastard Sword represents one of the most iconic weapon designs of the late medieval period. Also known as a hand-and-a-half sword, it offers the flexibility of being wielded with either one or two hands, making it a favorite among knights and professional soldiers alike. Its long, well-balanced blade provides excellent reach while the extended grip allows for powerful two-handed strikes or agile one-handed use when paired with a shield. The classic cruciform hilt and clean medieval styling make this sword equally at home in a historical collection, at a living history event, or as the centerpiece of a display. Included is a premium leather-covered, wood core scabbard that offers superior protection for the blade while maintaining an authentic medieval appearance. Built to a higher standard than typical entry-level scabbards, it complements the sword with both durability and historical character. Crafted from high carbon steel, the blade comes with a factory blunt edge suitable for collecting, display, and reenactment. For those looking to unlock its full cutting potential, Dark Age Creations offers a professional in-house sharpening service performed by our experienced bladesmith. Every sword is sharpened by hand to produce a clean, consistent edge while preserving the blade's intended geometry. Combining exceptional versatility with timeless medieval design, the Red Dragon Bastard Sword is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a sword that bridges the gap between arming swords and true two-handed weapons.
