A FEW AVAILABLE - WHEN GONE, PRE ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED MID FEB25
This medieval replica sword was a popular type through most of the 15th Century, and is particularly associated with Castillon after a case of 80 swords was recovered from the Dordogne River in 1973. This Type XV sword with its very pointed hollow ground blade was specialised for finding the gaps in armour and this replica will do that perfectly with its needle sharp tip and stiff prominent spine. The wheel pommel, Type XV blade and straight guard with downturned tips makes the Castillon sword iconic.
The hand forged sword is made from 1060 spring steel has a cord wrapped leather grip, and comes complete with a period appropriate wood cored scabbard covered in naturally tanned leather and a suspension harness, all finished with brass (latten) fittings. Will fit a waist from around 30”- 44”/76cm - 106cm
The sword is light, lively and beautifully balanced.

Edge sharpness
Semi-Sharp is 'butter knife sharp'; it has a very fine flat on the edge. Sharp has been ground to give a reasonable cutting edge, but final honing, if required, is by the customer.
If your colour of choice is out of stock, why not try a different colour?
