The Paul Chen Sir William Marshall Sword
The single-hand Sir William Marshall Sword sets new standards of quality and authenticity in broadsword construction. The sword is based on an original , now in a British musuem , used by one of England’s finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served the crown faithfully under Henry II , Richard the Lionheart and Jack Lackland. The singlehand Sir William Marshall Sword is available with either a forged high-carbon steel blade or a hand forged – folded Swedish powder steel Damascus blade . 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.
This fully functional broad sword is tailored to meet the demands of re-enactment and stage combat.
