While one may feel that this is a peculiar name for a weapon, the Bastard Sword receives its name because there is no documented claim as to whether this should be used as a one or two-handed weapon. It is believed that the Swiss and Germans carried the first however, it wasn’t long before they exploded in popularity and could be seen throughout Europe and the British Isles.

The Bastard Sword is special, the versatility it offers greatly appreciated by foot soldiers. Even specialty combat styles were developed for those who used these weapons; the Germanic nations leading in technique while other Northern European cultures followed in their footsteps.

Our Bastard Sword has been finished with an antique patina to create an authentic look. A down curved guard and simple round pommel stay true to traditional styling. A wood scabbard has been included that features a metal tip, also antiqued with patina.
