Dordogne Sword G2

Functional Swords / Battle Ready Swords

This medieval sword is like no other. The original Dordogne sword was found in the river Dordogne near Castillon. Our design is based upon an original Ewart Oakeshott drawing (famed sword historian) which was given to Hank Reinhardt, a leading authority on historical swords. Our special relationships have now allowed us to bring this historic medieval sword directly to you. (TYPE XVa, 1410-1450 A.D.)

Each of these medieval swords is sold complete with a wood scabbard wrapped in leather with steel accents.

Blade length: 36 inches
Handle/Hilt length: 7.25 inches
Overall: 44.25 inches
Balance Point: 4.5 inches Below Hilt

Made of high-carbon steel and quality craftsmanship, this medieval sword is of SCA-LARP quality.

Each medieval sword blade is hand forged from 5160 or 10/60 carbon steel for strength and beautiful lines, and individually finished to endure tight fitting handles and a fabulous finish. (Look closely to see the hammer marks from hand forging.)

Sword Cleaning Instructions Regular use of sword cleaning kits to maintain high carbon steel swords helps prevent deterioration. (Initial cleaning of this sword is needed to remove protective coating.)

Special thanks to Hank Reinhardt for releasing this original Ewart Oakeshott drawing for production.

Manufacturers Note: Blades made of 3/16-inch tempered steel are designed to be slightly more ridged than thin spring steel blades (whippy blades) from other manufacturers. This is not a defect, but by design to allow for a difference in blade control during swordplay, etc. Never flex stress test 3/16-inch tempered steel blades beyond 5 or 6 inches. (All testing is a buyer liability.)
