Sir William Marshall Sword - Damascus Blade - SH2001
Hanwei's single-hand
Marshall Sword sets new standards of quality and authenticity in broadsword
construction. The sword is based on an original, now in a British museum,
used by one of Englandís finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served
the crown faithfully under Henry II, Richard the Lionheart and Jack Lackland.
The Marshall Sword is available with either a forged high-carbon steel blade
(SH2000) or a forged - folded Swedish powder steel blade (SH2001). Both blades
are identical in handling characteristics and both are tempered to a tough
HRC 54. The blade section features a central ridged fuller and full-length
distal taper - a tough test for the bladesmith but resulting in a superb
combination of speed and strength. The grip is leather wrapped and laced
and the guard and pommel are elegant in their functional simplicity. The
scabbard is leather-covered with steel mounts. Truly a sword for the connoisseur.
