CAS Hanwei Swords Lionheart Sword, Multi

Overall: 33 1/2" blade length: 27" handle length: 6 1/2" weight: 2lb 8oz blade steel: 1566 the single-hand lionheart sword is typical of the cruciform-hilt style of the crusading Knights of Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. The wheel pommel and slightly turned-down bow-tie guard make this a very attractive sword. Paul chen swords are crafted in much the same way as swords were made centuries ago, except now the blades are forged from high-carbon spring steel. The blade finish is far from being polished agian more closley replicating what the Medieval swordsmith was able to achieve. Except as noted the grips are leather covered hardwood. Fittings are either steel or solid brass. These swords will appeal to the re-enactor who wants a sword with the same appearance as the Originals.
