Irish Hand-and-a-Half Sword

The English at one time considered the Irish a "Savage and Barbarous Race", but we suspect they admired their taste for beauty. Certainly they could envy their taste in edged weapons, for they created some truly beautiful swords. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts. Includes leather scabbard.

This sword is believed to date from about 1475-1525 A.D. The hilt is characteristically Irish, with the flaring "S" guard. and usual Irish ring for the pommel. Although the description of this sword is accurate, it doesn't begin to tell of the speed, balance and feel of the weapon - fast and quick. The Irish warriors relied on speed and agility; it was only natural for their weapons to follow suit. A beautiful, deadly example of the Irish fighting mind. Hilt that surrounds the well-tempered high carbon steel blade is steel and the grip is wood, covered with leather.

Overall length: 45.5"; Blade length: 34.5"; Blade width: 1.75"; Weigth: 3 lbs.
