Legacy Arms – IP003 – 12th Century Norman Sword – Fixed Blade Knife – 5160 HC Polished Dagger – Leather Covered Wood – Black

Description

The Legacy Arms – IP003 – 12th Century Norman Sword is a meticulously crafted replica inspired by historical designs from Northern Europe, dating back to the 12th century. This sword is modeled after originals from c. 1100-1250, reflecting the style and functionality of the medieval period. The sword features a distinctive pommel, styled as a faceted wheel, similar to those found on Leppaho Viking swords from 980-1000. This design choice pays homage to early Viking craftsmanship. The crossguard, known as Gaddhjalt or spike hilt, represents an early form of guard commonly used during this era, emphasizing both practicality and historical accuracy. Designed for the combat techniques of the time, the blade incorporates a fuller running two-thirds of its length, enhancing its cutting ability while reducing weight. The grip is constructed from hardwood and wrapped in leather, providing both durability and comfort. The crossguard and pommel are made of solid steel, polished to a fine finish, and securely fitted onto a tang that is peened at the top of the pommel, replicating the traditional method of attachment used in historical swords. The scabbard complements the sword with its wooden core wrapped in leather, featuring a solid steel endcap for added protection and aesthetic appeal.
