| | | Blackened Schiavona | LAST ONE -
SLIGHTLY
DAMAGED
The Schiavona is one
of the most beautiful
of all the basket-
hilt-swords.
Originally used by
the Slavic
Mercenaries hired by
the Doge of Venice,
the Schiavona proved
to be such an
effective and
attractive sword that
it was soon in use
all throughout Europe.
This sword, hand
forged by Windlass
Steelcrafts, has a
steel basket and the
traditional brass
catshead pommel.
Both basket and blade
are blued. Single
edged blade is well
balanced and well
tempered. The
Schiavona, like its
contemporary, the
Claymore, was a cut
and thrust sword, and
although used alone,
frequently a light
buckler or target was
also employed.
Leather scabbard
included. Circa 1630-
1650.
Overall length:44";
Blade length: 37";
width: 1.3/8";
Weight: 3.5 lbs.
