Arming Sword – Stage Combat Version – Deepeeka

This simple, one-handed sword with its tapered blade is most akin to the Arming swords of medieval Europe. Utilitarian weapons, these swords were often carried by archers and crossbowmen in the later Medieval period so that they could defend themselves when attacked or when ordered to wade into the melee. It was also a common second weapon for halberdiers and pikemen to fall back on should their tight formations be disrupted or their foe had closed the distance too closely.

Made by Deepeeka, this sword has a high carbon, blunt steel blade. The hilt fittings are steel and the grip is tightly wrapped in brown leather cord. It comes with a wood-core scabbard covered in light brown leather and affixed with a wooden suspension loop.
