Alcove
Longsword // Runes
Product Description
The longsword, often called the "bastard sword" during the late medieval and Renaissance periods, symbolizes European martial skill and was widely used from the 13th to 17th centuries, with peak popularity between 1350 and 1550. This 45-inch blade echoes those once wielded by knights, featuring a 37-inch high-carbon 1095 steel blade with an HRC of 56–58, known for excellent edge retention and hardness. Its handle combines wood and Damascus steel bolsters, and it comes with a handmade genuine leather sheath. With a 0.95% carbon content—more than double that of common 1045 steel—1095 offers superior hardness but can be brittle, so this longsword is clay-tempered to enhance flexibility while preserving sharpness. The result is a 45" longsword/bastard sword masterpiece, optimized for strength, edge retention, and durability.
