Black Prince G2 Sword

This historic Black Prince sword is a great example of late 14th century hand-and-a-half Medieval sword (Type: XVa). The original Black Prince sword rests in a private collection in England.

The Black Prince (or Black Knight) was the son of Edward III and father of Richard II. He is remembered as a great warrior and was actually one of the Good Guys.

Because of his being a magnificent warrior and man of honor, The Black Knight was chosen by King Edward III to be the very first knight sworn into The Gata (the earliest order of knights created in 1346 by King Edward III).

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.) Due to the length of this item, it ships at the UPS Oversize Rate
