My medieval sword and scabbard

Description

*update*

I received the sword and scabbard that I ordered almost a year ago, just in time to wrap it up as a gift for myself for Christmas :D

In the updated image You can see the sword and scabbard to the left, and my sketch of it to the right. The idea was to have the bladesmith create a medieval sword that would have fitted an english archer in the 13th-14th century.

The bladesmith then did some research and came up with the finished version You see here.

The blade is sharpened carbon steel and is fully combat ready to chop wood and pierce steel if needed, and it'll look great along with the rest of my medieval english archers outfit :D

Old text:

So, I'm also into medieval weapons, clothing and armor, infact I've made alot of it myself.

Check out the stuff I've made in the past here: [link]

I'm in the process of putting together an authentic 14th century english archers outfit these days, and this is the drawing I'm sending the bladesmith, of the sword I want him to craft. It will be a full tang, combat ready, flexible carbon steel sword. Leaning towards a longsword as the blade will be approx 90 cms long, 11 cm dark leather covered wooden grip. The scabbard will prob end up being leather covered wood as well, with steel details.

Thanks for viewing :-)

I always love seeing the swords and scabbards from Darksword Armoury. They make amazing stuff. My personal favorite which looks incredible is the new stuff from their elite series. The damascus or ( pattern welded) stuff. The Damascus Guardian is my favorite.
