Battle Blades – FS73 – 41.7″ Battle Ready Medieval Sword – Fixed Blade Knife – Manganese Steel Satin Sword – Leather Wrapped – Black

The FS73 41.7″ Battle Ready Medieval Manganese Steel Bastard Sword is an impressive representation of the classic European hand-and-a-half sword, combining traditional medieval styling with distinctive decorative details and substantial proportions. Designed with inspiration from the swords carried by medieval knights and crusaders, this imposing sword features a dark gray manganese steel blade, a traditional cruciform guard, an intricately detailed pommel, and a black leather-wrapped handle. Complete with a matching black leather-wrapped scabbard and integrated sword frog, the FS73 makes an excellent addition to a medieval weapon collection, historical display, or reenactment-inspired ensemble. At the center of the FS73 is a 30.5-inch manganese steel blade featuring a distinctive darkened gray finish. Its traditional medieval profile incorporates a prominent central fuller and a gradual taper toward the point. The fuller contributes to the sword’s historically inspired appearance while reducing unnecessary blade material. The blade’s proportions and elongated cutting profile reflect the recognizable design characteristics associated with medieval European bastard swords. The dark finish gives this sword a rugged, battle-worn aesthetic that complements its traditional crusader-inspired styling. Its substantial blade length provides the imposing appearance collectors appreciate in a medieval hand-and-a-half sword. Whether displayed as part of a historical collection or incorporated into a medieval-themed presentation, the FS73 offers an unmistakable old-world character. The sword features a stainless steel cruciform crossguard with straight quillons and a distinctive diamond-shaped cross section. This traditional guard design provides a recognizable medieval appearance while separating the blade from the handle with a classic European sword silhouette. Below the guard is a 10.25-inch black leather-wrapped handle designed to accommodate a hand-and-a-half grip. Embossed decorative rings along the handle add visual texture and reinforce its traditional styling. Its elongated proportions distinguish the bastard sword from shorter one-handed medieval sword designs. At the opposite end, a stainless steel wheel-shaped pommel completes the hilt. The pommel incorporates a raised central disk featuring an intricately carved crusader cross, providing an attractive historical detail that ties together the sword’s overall design. The contrasting stainless steel components stand out against the dark blade and black handle, creating a cohesive medieval appearance. The FS73 includes a matching black leather-wrapped scabbard designed to complement the sword’s dark finish and traditional styling. The scabbard features a protective throat with a notch and felt tab, along with an integrated black sword frog for belt attachment. This convenient addition provides a traditional way to incorporate the sword into medieval costume presentations and historical reenactment-inspired outfits. The attached sword frog is designed to position the scabbard at an angle when worn with a compatible sword belt. At the opposite end, a stainless steel scabbard fitting provides additional decorative detail and incorporates a rounded finial to protect the scabbard’s tip. The combination of black leather wrapping and stainless steel fittings gives the included scabbard a finished appearance that complements the sword. With its extended proportions, dark manganese steel blade, traditional cruciform guard, and crusader-inspired pommel, the FS73 captures the visual character of the medieval European bastard sword. Its hand-and-a-half configuration is especially appealing to collectors interested in historical sword designs, while the detailed leather-wrapped scabbard provides a complete presentation. This medieval sword is an excellent choice for collectors, historical enthusiasts, medieval-themed displays, and reenactment costume presentations. Its distinctive appearance also makes it an attractive conversation piece for anyone who appreciates traditional European weapon designs and medieval craftsmanship. The included scabbard and integrated sword frog add to its presentation value, making this a complete sword-and-scabbard set.
